Guy on the left with pure ignorance. "Maybe these guys are uncoachable!! 4 coaches!!!" The vast majority of this team didn't see 2 of these coaches, and some only saw Granato. Get out of here.
you have to a least question that if they still cant make the playoffs. As a Sabres fan, I don't see that from Thompson, Tuch, Dahlin, and Cozens who are the backbone of this team but again who knows what's going on in the locker room. Sounds a lot like Donny was more of a buddy then a coach. Maybe they need somebody who is not a friend to get over that playoff hump.
@@scarycrazymann and are we in playoffs? answer is no, so you have to at LEAST question if somebody in that locker room is a problem. as i said I DONT see dahlin and others being a problem but who knows
Sabres have such a good prospect pool. Arguably the best in the NHL. They need a coach that can turn that into a productive scoring team. Can’t believe it’s been 13 years since they made playoffs
They haven’t made the playoffs since 2011. In a league that sent more than half its teams to the playoffs prior to Vegas and Seattle joining the league. The NHL sends half its teams to the playoffs nowadays. The Sabres were one of the seven teams that did not have a good enough record to qualify for the bubble playoffs in 2020. They have blown through so many coaches and general managers along the way.
Sabres are my 2nd favorite team, behind the Islanders. The biggest difference I notice in following the two teams is that the Sabres just seem unserious. Lot of young guys who haven't learned discipline or a winning mentality from vets who've had successful careers. I think this team needs an old school guy with the GM's ear who isn't afraid to get the GM to move guys that can't get serious about winning.
First off the sabres and islanders are in very different spots, isles run is almost over and they know that, you cant say that these guys dont want to win games. Its literally there defensive position, if you watched how many goals would have been stopped this year if Dahlin doesnt do a fly by
@@drake7309 Totally agree that they're in very different different spots, they're almost exactly opposite in terms of where the roster is and what the future looks like. I'm just saying that the players seem more content with losing than fans would like to see. It's impossible to actually know what's going on in the locker room, but on the ice that's what I see, at-least. Celebrating, laughing, etc for winning games at the end of the 13th season in a row without playoffs, I just think it's indicative of an unserious group. Just my 2 cents.
Buffalo’s top C1 and C2 only cost $14m…..while also having one of the youngest and highest ceiling top 4 defensive pairing and the best prospect pool in the league. Unless they draft top 4, package this years top 10 draft pick with one of the top tiered prospects and bring in another first line forward so that they can pull off a 3rd line able to score
Only cost 14 million? One is a 3rd line centre and the other is being paid on one big year later in his career and still hasn’t proved he can be a guy who shows up in big games. Not score 2 goals when they are down 5 or empty netters.
@@danevertt3210 yes they are and that’s why the team is where they are. They are playing way above where they should be. The team is very shallow in talent, they are so dependent on 21 and 22 year old kids who aren’t even proven NHL players. The Sabres are along way from success unless they get real lucky.
God, the support for Quenneville is just unfathomable. Sometimes you do something so bad that you don't get a second chance. The dude has hidden in a hole since he was let go in FLA, for good reason. No way he deserves another shot. Awful takes.
@charlieb308 He was in the meeting, knew what happened and said "The team is in a good place right now, we can't deal with this." Sorry dude, but this is a great example of why sometimes hockey culture sucks. It's call sexual assault, and the coach wrote a recommendation letter for the dude later. Before he went to the HS and got convicted of doing the same stuff. Nah dude, sorry.
@@HT-jj5sxHe only entered the meeting halfway through and wasn't given all the information, he was also just a coach. He said he wasnt given much say in most decisions.
I think I’m probably the only Sabres fan in Buffalo who doesn’t want Lindy Ruff back as the head coach. Love the guy love what he did for us in the past but in the later years he has shown that he is not the head coach he once was and I really don’t think bringing him back as the head coach will change anything. I think if we do bring him back he should be the assistant coach I think thats the best they can do for him.
As much as it pains me as a Sabres fan I'd love to see Rod the Bod, behind the bench. I'd get over it quick after he turns this team into a killer! UPL is ready to take the leap next year as well!
Need the cure for the loser virus. Bring in three new players that are a pain in the “a” to play against. Some one that doesn’t take off shifts or sleep walks at the start of the game. Get a coaching staff that can coach the power play
I'd rather not see us sign a head coach who is older than 60. That includes Lindy Ruff. No Quenneville, either. My first choice would be Michael Peca. I'd like a younger guy who played and who was tough-nosed, someone likely to hold players accountable and who appreciates the value of physical play.
@@JoshDragRace0688 That's how I see it!!! My opinion that will make for a Dynasty. Then once Peca takes over Ruff can be President of hockey operations.
@@aaronvogt335 As a Sabres fan I want Craig Berube as head coach and for Lindy Ruff to come in as an assistant coach of some kind. That would be better if he was gonna come back in some sort of capacity.
Nope bc this Sabres team has beaten all of the best teams in the league often but they didn’t show up to play every night and that was the problem! To often they played soft lazy hockey!
A player has 3 things to do on the team...1 know your role. 2 accept your role 3 embrace your role They do that we will have a united tough team. I m hoping Quenneville or Berube
"I want a coach who has experience and can push them to the next level." Joel Quenneville, Claude Julien, Craig Berube, and Ted Nolan all fit the bill, Kevyn.
The Sabres haven’t qualified for the playoffs since 2011. Them and the New York Jets of the NFL have the two longest active playoff droughts in North American sports. The Jets will likely miss the playoffs for a 14th consecutive season. There’s a LOT of dysfunction in that organization. Prior to Vegas and Seattle joining the league, the NHL sent more than half its teams to the playoffs. Buffalo was one of the seven teams that did not qualify to go to the bubble playoffs in 2020. They have blown through numerous coaches and general managers along the way.
I'm a hawks fan at heart, but I want to respect all the other teams without the petty bias BS. I truly would LOVE TO see the sabres in the playoffs competing against the best of the best cause talent wise ITS THEIR I agree they need a coach that is going to raise the standard AND accountability to the players and reach a whole new level of team chemistry, raise the intensity, and hold them accountable to the smallest things. I really want to see the sabres in the playoffs after a long drought and the misery of multiple bad gm's and the unfortunate departure of Eichel. Quennville might be a descent candidate but my gut is telling me red flags NO.....yes he deserves a second chance after the incident with the hawks but I feel like his philosophy is outdated and I'm not sure if he can adapt to the game today. I hope and wish the sabres the best of luck finding the right coach similar to patrick roy
Quenneville wasn’t the one having make out sessions with Beach in the video room. Maybe he didn’t know the full details maybe he thought it was mutual if it was today 2 men making out watching hockey videos would be completely normal.
Have you perused the comment section? Not a lot of in tact brains going on… I’m with you, though. I think Gallant has a history of making teams better. He has a history of accountability and discipline. And he’s got familiarity with our leaders. IMO, it would be a great hire!
First of all we need 2 centres who can win puck control so important how many powerpkays were faceoff in their end lost and all of a sudden poeerlay chasing the puck! Need gritty couple guys on bottom six who punish on the forecheck.... Wheres d man down quick!
@@ojsglove6221 no one should EVER want Quineville he help cover up multiple players molestations by a trainer and never said or did anything about it! They even helped the scumbag get a job somewhere else!
Soft Team of Ice Dancers. Benson is probably the player with the most balls and courage. That HAS TO CHANGE, Let's see what LINDY can do. 5th all time winningest coach now. I would have loved Coach Q though
Buffalo doesnt have a playoff roster, the structure of this team is off, their defensive schemes are not effective either, forechecking, neutral zone and especially d zone.
You’re delusional… OP will 100% be a top level defenseman. He struggled early in the year defensively but that was to be expected from a 20 year old offensive defenseman….

Nah. Just hire someone like Gerard Gallant who clearly gets results, much moreso than anyone the Sabres have had.

Stop with Quenneville. Nobody cares how good a coach he was. He hasn’t even been reinstated yet. Nor does he deserve to be.
He will be back soon
