I was so excited when they tires it up then they immediately give up 2 more. Wtf? These guys are hard to watch.

The good news is the offense is starting to click again. Benson is looking better and better every game.

The bad news was everything else. Especially Samuelson looking very very poor all season.

This team is unwatchable. Someone needs to be fired.

This team is unwatchable. Someone needs to be fired.

Unfortunately they are going to tell us to be patient until Quinn and Thompson return. Moreover, firing anyone right now will only make this team worse. They need another rugged forward that is willing to plant himself in front of the net. Greenway can do that, but doesn't do it enough. And his scoring touch has been underwhelming. Paul Hamilton sums it up well here:

Cozens says the Sabres are too soft and are too easy to play against.

A lot of regression seen. Samuelsson has not been good. Responsible for many stupid, lazy turnovers that have turned into goals. Thompson was not as good either, coming out of the gate. He was slowly turning his game around when he got hurt. Cozens broke his nose which has taken him out of his game, first because he was wearing that plexiglass full facemask. He has not been as eager to engage against other teams. The team, it's players need to grow a spine. They need a Brad May, a Rob Ray, a Jay McKee, a Matt Barnaby-type player that can fire them up at the drop of the gloves.

“We need to go in and look at each game that this is our game to win, we’re not going to give you guys a chance. We need to finish more checks, stronger in puck battles, we need to kill plays in the defensive zone and be way harder to play against.”

To me, that's on coaching. Looking around the NHL, John Tortorella, the new coach in Philadelphia is doing more with a lesser roster. And, many people have been comparing the tract of the Red Wings and Sabres over the past couple of years. The GM there is doing a better job than Kevyn Adams. Adams appear to be too dug in with this youth movement. Like Hamilton says above, it worked last season when the team was playing well, but now the team looks like lazy garbage most nights. If steps aren't taken soon, Tuch asking out will be the next thing you see (my prediction).
