    Re: Don Granato was fired

    That Washington and the NY Islanders made it into the play-offs and the Sabres didn't should be infuriating to each and every fan. Those two teams suck. And we've been hearing the youth movement in Buffalo since Dahlin arrived. Blah, blah, blah. Granato's one claim to fame was moving Tage Thompson to center. He rode that move for three seasons. It was enough. Skinner has slid back to the Krueger-time 3rd line. Should be gone. The GM now has a target squarely on his back. Clean up this roster. Be bold enough to move on from the old Girgensons, despite the owner publically claiming his love for the player. Get some young, big, tough wingers onto the last two lines.

    The Predators made the play-offs. They are using former Sabre/Amerk Mark Jankowski (a 6' 4" center) on their second line. WTF? The Sabres couldn't find use for him? The Predators used him to help get them into the play-offs. Another Kevyn Adams mis-step? LINK

      Good riddance.

      I want Joel Quennville.

      At least the players will go home from practice tired.

      Second choice would be Ruff for the same reason, although he has his warts too.

      You can keep Berube.

        I am reminded of the rise and fall of Berube in St. Louis...

        He took the 2021-22 Blues to 49 wins and 109 points with Tarasenko/Ryan O' Reilly
        In 2022-23 the team dropped to 37 wins and 81 points.

        Things continued in the next season when, at 28 games in, Berube was fired.
