- After a disappointing beginning to the 2023/24 season, the Sabres may have to look at some changes to keep the ship upright. Don Granato, their head coach, has taken a lot of heat for the underperformance, and his job is in danger. Should it be, and should the Sabres fire him and move on?

Should Don Granato be fired?
Yes!
The thing that annoys me is that this team has soooo much talent, but they can’t use it properly.
Well now they also don’t even look like they care. Last year they did at least.
Team is far too soft. Yes they had success last year but this team has no grit, no mean to their game. Time to move on
Easiest question to answer 100% absolutely positively yes look what happened in Edmonton and while I get they have a higher tier of skill at some positions you can't deny the effect having a new coach has on a team
Yep
"I am not certain about the solution, but I have noticed a significant decrease in intensity lately. Sometimes during a game, our offense seems to be working well, and the players are able to anticipate where the puck is going and create scoring opportunities. However, occasionally, even in the middle of a shift, everything seems to come to a halt. I believe that Granato should be fired because if these young players do not continue to improve, it will negatively impact everyone involved."
Hey kid, I'm not sure who you are. But you're really good at this. Great show buddy.
Thank you 😁
Ellis and the rest of the assistants are terrible. Granato is a good coach, served his purpose, but it's time to move on. Why wait until the offseason when a good NHL coach is ready to be hired right now?
The Power Play is what's killing us. Even just a league average of 20% adds probably 5-6 points to the teams tally and puts us in some contention for a WC chase
I think the issue is they needed to focus on the Defensive core, not a team wide Defensive mindset. You need to let the forwards do everything they did last year and force (even if painfully) the defensive core to come up with a game plan to match. By changing the system to a defensive one, we have lost goal scoring, because everyone is worried about their own end. When the Defense should be the only ones doing that and the forwards should be pushing like they always did last year. It should change too a offence only mindset. We have scored more and got scored on less last year doing offence as opposed to defense focus where we don't score and get scored on more.
yes
Can we get Quenville?
It's possible 😂
Let him go. It's too much of a regression from last year. Unacceptable.
They had playoff expectations and failed, plain and simple. Time to move on
Should they... absolutely. Will they... 😔.. not likely this season unless the wheels reallly fall off.
Im hoping we can convince peca during the off season.
The back wheels to this team have been off for 13 years. Are you waiting for the front wheels too?
I really like Granato...but as an assistant coach. We all know he can turn a player playing like a 4 (out of 10) into a 6 or 7. He improves players dramatically. We need new assistant coaching, especially for special teams and a head coach that will hold these millionaires accountable for their sub par play. Their whole system needs to be retooled as Granato tried for the first 33 games to be a defensive minded team (which failed) now he is switching them back to last years style but its not consistent (like they also were last year). You are absolutely correct in saying Granato has lost the room. He is too nice (even see it in his post game interviews)
What we are learning is that Adams does not have the qualities required to be a GM. Nice guys Granato and Adams, but they absolutely must be fired! The team is awful and they seemingly are ready to hit the golf course. They need more than Granato and his staff are providing. It's TIME. At least get a replacement in for Granato now to evaluate over the remaining games. No more MR. NICE GUY either! Someone that commands the room. Berube did great with the Blues for a few years... Along those lines. Look at Torts in Philly... They look to be playoff bound.
Granato is a good coach. He's just not an NHL coach. Kevin Adams job should also be scrutinized. This last off season reminded me of the Darcy Regier afraid to make a move days.
Why should Kevyn Adams’ job be at stake? This is a rebuild and we’re only 2.5 years in. Look at how ridiculous all the people are that said UPL should’ve been traded before the season started. Adams taking this in baby steps is smart.
@@bjarczyk There were a lot better defensemen up for grabs before Clifton and Johnson this off season.Luke Schenn signed in Nashville for a 3 year contract at $8,250,000. cap hit of $2,750,000.
Adams got the left over of the free agent D. Adams got reilly stillman to "toughen up" our D and he couldn't cut it@@MrBluecollar8
You touched on many of the defenseman but I didn’t hear anything about Mattias Samuelsson! He’s afraid to hit this year and is a turnover machine! What a disappointment after his big contract!
Actually making a whole video on him. Hoping the change in his game is due to injuries all year but you are right he is a turnover machine 😂
so is owen power every year, he never hits and is scared.
@@timar6868 power def doesn’t show he’s a former number 1 overall pick
Let's see what happens...
I wish you would’ve given some credit to JJ Peterka… he’s improved significantly.
Check out our most recent video all about JJ!
Every team knows how to stop the Sabres and Granato's system! Fire Granato asap! Time to spend some $$ Pegulas and go get a VETERAN coach with emphasis on D and being tougher in front of both nets ! Gallant or Berube would work for me and hopefully when Granato is fired , D coach Marty Wilford will be fired too. Hire Sens head coach DJ Smith to take over for Marty!
Look at how a coaching and systems change worked out in Vancouver. They fired Bruce Boudreau this time last year i believe and look where they are now. The Sabres have just as much if not more talent than the Canucks do.
Thanks for the video , much appreciated.
Long time ago.
Granato is a chump
Should have traded olofson last summer, kept girgs and okie , stay the course on goalies, no significant improvement on D over the summer. None of our amassed undersized 1st round draft picks NHL ready, Benson playing all year, power play ineptness, consistently going down 2-0 in the first period? I gotta believe a good deal of this is due to inept coaching. Couple that with a GM that refuses to bring any muscle to the team and you get the current edition of the Sabres. Absolutely sickening
100% no chance every single player is just having an off year
I say give him the rest of the year and if we don't make playoffs then yes time to move on
I disagree I think signing clifton and joshnson was a good move at that moment b.c our team does lack strong checking d men, we have all young skill d who intimidate noone and half the time do not produce on either end; sadly both signings just did not produce but i agree with what he was trying to do. forwards like greenway okposo all these traveler types need to go(though i do like robinson b.c hes fast and gritty which is kinda nice) saying "the D stinks on this team and it isn't the payers" is straight up a joke, the players are the ones on the ice; Dahlin dosn't play well in our zone he gives up the puck and plays with it and loses it and doesn't even like playing D("I want to play free" he says. power is a P&ssy and refuses to hit or take hits in our zone and is lackluster in the o zone and the rest follow suit.we have weak braindead D men. I will agree matt ellis like wtf is he doing coaching let alone the D? lol maybe don should just be a development coach for rochester and ellis can go sit on a couch.I also agree on the pp, like we always stay on the outside, noone takes the puck to the net its painful
Yea moves definitely haven't worked out but I had high hopes for Clifton. Super weak team right now I agree
I wonder what the others players thought when owen no power got that ridiculous 8 mil a year for 7yrs contract. When THEY have experience.....Bryson, Joker, E. Johnsons Stillman contracts will be up. Will adams spend the $ to get better players for those spots ?
Yup should never have brought back the same guys.
I have not seen any defensive setups other than Chase the Puck. Chase the Puck is not a good defensive strategy. Power sucks as a D-man in the NHL. Power should be a forward or traded for a decent D-man. Matt and Don need to go.
Thanks but no thanks, good luck out there meatballs
i think they should fire adams and granato
Its not HC or players. Its the culture! Until the entire culture of the sabres changes this will be their fate. The only time the culture was different was when Hasek was here, and Drury/Briere era. Drury said it best, "why is there no photo of the cup in the lockeroom?" They never believed that could actually be their goal. This team now needs a Dylan Larkin type of leader. Its embarrising that this team is so lost. However, all the old core pieces and etc need to change. We could have eichel or McDavid, and there would be no change with this team. The Detroit Lions have no legit hall of famers that you could pencil in for the near future. However, the entire coaching staff and higher ups became believers and followed through. Like the wings, are ahead of the sabres, the lions are ahead of the Bills. Its that bloody culture that makes the difference! Coaching wise we need a Brindamour behind the bench to motivate these guys. Until then the team better become the best golf players in the NHL, because they will have their entire careers in the offseason to be that good. Its so sad and Buffalo deserves so much more. However, its not gonna happen.
Fire Don at the end of the season..
FIRE DON GRANATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure we could fire Granato but the question is can we get someone better to come to this elephant graveyard of a franchise ?
Like you said great development coach but 100% has reached the ceiling here
Pegulas are cheap and haven’t done anything right since taking over. It’s never going to change Adams has built a team full of soft players
Granato is a bad coach fire him asap.
