They had better not take away a good coach in our minor team, because the last time they did that it didn't work, & we've been struggling to get well trained goalies from our minor team ever since. The next guy they bring in had BETTER get us to the playoffs, & beyond the 1st round. We have the talent, & we need a coach that brings all of their skills out.
A lot of NHL head coaches are retreads. Fitzgerald is more to blame for the Devils struggles this season than Ruff. Goaltending was not very good for the Devils.
Quinn only scored 15 goals prior to this season. The League figured out what Granato likes to do offensively & took away those passing lanes. Granato did not have a answer to what the league was doing to him. Peterka broke out & scored a lot more this season so that alone helped make up for the loss of Quinn. The nonexistent power play, the drop in goal scoring by Skinner, Tuch & Cozens led to a season where the Sabres never won more than 3 straight games. How many games did the Sabres come out flat in the 1st period & those games were already over? A change will happen with a new HC (hopefully experienced) & the players will have a wake up call come training camp. Tage & his wrist injury did carry over throughout the rest of the season.
After hearing Adams, it's clear he has been stewing about this move for some time. I believe he has to move fast now, lest someone else swoops in and steals the guy he has targeted.
HIRE COACH GALLANT! I grew up in Cheektowaga, a Sabres fan since Day One. I live Vegas now, and know how competitive Gallant is. He took the VGK to the finals Year One. A true players coach.
Sabres will be in the playoffs next year and it’s gonna have nothing to do with the coach but the new coach is gonna look good because of that bullshit. You’ll be firing him in the next two years too. There’s no coach good enough for the Sabres cause they’re so fucking great.
Hmmm not really happy about this. How this team finished above .500 is still shocking to me. Remember the Swords gave away their best talent a month ago. I guess we will see who will replace him. Let’s Go Buffalo? ⚔️⚔️⚔️
Hockey is a contact sport and trying to play it non contact style, it gets the team sinking and coaches fired. They need to get tougher and their abysmal PP needs rework - That's not going to work with Matt Ellis pulling the strings.
Buffalo is gonna have to except reality no one 6:35 wants to come there to losing city. I have to say true ask sam McDermand what they said to him when he was coming to Buffalo what do you want to go there for? No one can do nothing anything with them.
He makes it sound like there’s been no problem before with coaching dude look back at least 12 years ago ever since Lindsey Left. dude, the only reason why the Sabres are still there you can thank your neighbors the Canadian. They came over and bought all the seasonal tickets because they say they’re gonna watch hockey one way or the other if it wasn’t for them you couldn’t even keep the lights on now.
How in the last 10 years the times he has been available did thry not get a guy like Brian Burke to set things straight from the too down is beyond me. Doofus and his idiot wife need to be hands off and let people that know what they are doing run the show. We finally have a team just need to make a good decision on who runs it
Not Appert, leave him with the Amerks! Mike Peca would be fun but he is another inexperienced NHL coach. Berubi as coach, Lindy as president. This should have happened 4 months ago. I wonder if this was in any part a result of hiring Pete Guelli, because this doesn't fit with the Pegula normal course of action.
It’s one thing to lose faith in a failing season, but if the fans have given up on the rebuild completely then that’s on them for not seeing the bigger picture.
What frustrates me if if they were going to fire Granato. Then why not do it during the season, attempt to save the season and give Appert a test run. Also I'm sick and tired of ex Sabres coaching in this organization. I'm sick of this team being run like a family business.
Need a coach with a pulse. These players are too soft. They emulate the GM. Culture of being soft needs to change. Too many figure skaters and not enough Tuch like players.
Hopefully it won't be Lindy Ruff. The guy was here forever and never really won anything. In fact he's been around forever and never really won anything and yet he somehow keeps getting hired.
We need to get TOUGHER ...best way to start with the Head Coach
They had better not take away a good coach in our minor team, because the last time they did that it didn't work, & we've been struggling to get well trained goalies from our minor team ever since. The next guy they bring in had BETTER get us to the playoffs, & beyond the 1st round. We have the talent, & we need a coach that brings all of their skills out.
This is the right move just 30 games to late. I just hope they get experience.

Gerard Gallant or Joel Quenneville but do you think NHL will reinstate?
Gallant sucks. Loses the players after season one. Should focus on Brind’Amour Berube Quenville
Lol, fourth video I've watched and said surprised, but not shocked
Time to fire players that aren’t playing up to their potential. Spending a lot of money for no returns!
I'll take Michael Pecas work ethic for this team.

It was a search
Barry Trotz or Peca
Gallant would be good for the Sabres.
No he wouldn’t
@@jammerz04 why would Gallant not be good for the Sabres?
@@Rock-bm2cw Gone after 3 seasons all of his NHL stops.
@@dandylion188 because today, these punk ass kids can't handle criticism. He lived it!!
If ruff is the coach I will stop watching Sabres hockey
He was the best coach the Sabres ever had.

If pegula brings lindy back then the sabres need a new owner.

How about Joel Quenneville?
He makes it sound like there’s been no problem before with coaching dude look back at least 12 years ago ever since Lindsey Left. dude, the only reason why the Sabres are still there you can thank your neighbors the Canadian. They came over and bought all the seasonal tickets because they say they’re gonna watch hockey one way or the other if it wasn’t for them you couldn’t even keep the lights on now.

Peca!! You must have forgotten that this bum held out on the sabres for a year
That was for $. There’s no ill will with that. Plus he won’t be the coach as he has no NHL HC experience
No Babcock or Ruff. Babcock is an a$$hole, and Ruff has done nothing IMO. He rode the coattails of Hasek and Miller all those years.
Not Appert, leave him with the Amerks! Mike Peca would be fun but he is another inexperienced NHL coach. Berubi as coach, Lindy as president. This should have happened 4 months ago. I wonder if this was in any part a result of hiring Pete Guelli, because this doesn't fit with the Pegula normal course of action.
wtf would ruff do as president?
It’s one thing to lose faith in a failing season, but if the fans have given up on the rebuild completely then that’s on them for not seeing the bigger picture.
Next get rid of Donnie's boys that backed him in the room. Tuch and Greenway need to go and Tage needs to kick in the butt. Let Rasmus rule the room.
What frustrates me if if they were going to fire Granato. Then why not do it during the season, attempt to save the season and give Appert a test run.
Also I'm sick and tired of ex Sabres coaching in this organization. I'm sick of this team being run like a family business.
Pass. We don't need Granato2.0
Need a coach with a pulse. These players are too soft. They emulate the GM. Culture of being soft needs to change. Too many figure skaters and not enough Tuch like players.
Ted Nolan should have had a fair chance
I wish he’s at least one of the assistants.
Hopefully it won't be Lindy Ruff. The guy was here forever and never really won anything. In fact he's been around forever and never really won anything and yet he somehow keeps getting hired.
Who was the coach when they won the presidents trophy for the first time?
If theyre going with a vet bring in a guy who has won a cup or go with a new guy who will turn this chamin soft clownshow into a hockey team.
I think it will be Joel Quenneville. NHL Network mentioned him and think it would be a great fit.
