Harrington becomes the first beat report to call for Granato’s firing.

It’s time. Last night was all time bad.

Impressive how they managed to get a photo of the single time Granato showed emotion last night.

They won’t. I have absolutely zero faith in anybody making any type of decisions.

Clean the fucking house. The roster is there, it’s fucking embarrasing that no one on that coaching staff can elevate that. Enough is enough, pack your shit and get the fuck out.

for the love of everything good, please get rid of Mike Harrington

Can’t access the article, does Mike have any ideas on who would replace Granato?

I’m definitely not saying that firing Donny is the wrong decision, and we absolutely run the risk of falling into a sunk-cost fallacy situation if we keep him, but anyone *excited* by the prospect of canning him should just keep in mind it can *easily* get worst so be careful what you wish for.

There’s something systemically wrong with this team that goes above and beyond coaching. Do you know how insanely bad you have to be to miss the NHL playoffs 13 times in a row? By being mediocre and blind luck you should make it 3 times in that span. Plus the players that leave almost immediately experience success in other franchises. Something is rotten in Buffalo. Fire Granato if you like, but until you figure out what’s really going on, this crap will continue.

The pegulas are the problem by not holding anyone accountable. Buffalo is just a cushy place to raise a family. Its why Okposo was captain for so long. It never should have happened.

I usually find Harrington to be a miserable blowhard but this article is spot-on.
sillygoosiee
He’s not a bad coach but it’s a game of results and sadly after an optimistic year last year, this season was so disappointing. The players really underperformed too.

I’ve never figured out why Harrington isn’t respected by many on this sub – but my heavens – he sure seemed to nail this one. He seems better to me than most newspaper guys I’ve come across. And by the way, he’s right. Time for Donnie to try another gig.

Six coaches in the last ten seasons. Starting to think it might be the players, not the coaches.

What’s funny is, he has spent almost every day since January 1st telling everyone on Twitter, how dumb they were for wanting to fire Donny
v-irtual
How many games has this team started OBVIOUSLY not ready to play?
Granato has to go. I just don’t know what better options exist in the market.

Smelling salts for all players & coaches, maybe that’ll snap them awake.

This fucking team is making me agree with Harrington.

I agree with Harrington 🤮. Don Granato did a lot of good in developing these players after the tire fire that was Krueger, but we’re done developing. These players need to take accountability and step the fuck up.

I wonder if Woodcroft would be a good fit for the sabres. Spent time with SJ and then Edmonton and then with our AHL team before the big club again. He oversaw the development of a lot of our young guys that cracked his roster. McLeod, skinner, desharnais etc might be good for a team with decent amount of young guys.
Sabres fans deserve better and with all these young guys it’ll turn around but the effort on the ice the other night was bad. I don’t know how a coach comes back from that. Skaters weren’t skating. Systems aren’t working.

Adams should be too.

Biggest mistake was letting Peca walk to the Rangers.

Pegula loves the Sabres so much he is performing a mercy killing.
