Adams had such a great presser for this. I didn't even hear about this til I got home from work. Even then I had friends messaging me about it. Tbh this is the correct time for Adams to do this. This gives the team and front office all summer to conduct a proper coaching search. Every year the playoffs get coaches extensions and firings, my main pick for HC is either Lindy or Nolan (yes I really want him back, he is the best coach the NHL/Sabres ever f**ked over) but I know he wont ever come back. I really need to hear Matt Ellis name on that fired list. Don't know why it isn't but that should have been the first name listed ahead of Granato.
Iâm with you. Iâm done if we donât get an experienced HC coach that can still a disciplined system with accountability. The Roch coach can be an assistant or bring in McKee as an assistant.
Need an experienced coach to help get free agents and players to waive no trade clauses to come to Buffalo
Wayne, thanks for another season of great videos. Your comments and point of view are spot on. I especially appreciate how you remain optimistic about this team when most of us are seething after each "stupid" loss, but you do that without sugar-coating the facts (like Duff and Biron do – makes me sick listening to them sometimes). Hey, Coach Granato did a good job bringing these guys out of the basement but now it's time for someone to elevate this team to where it should be. Hopefully someone with a focus on toughening this team up. Thanks again Wayne.
I listened to the press conference and I could tell Adams expected more from this team and this season never took off for us this year. Lazy starts not being prepared to play in meaningful games is on the coach. Time to move on.
It wonât be Appert. Granato says that he has an EXPERIENCED coach at the top of his list. And it sounds like he has one, maybe two coaches in mind.
My son and I were there last night and I was pointing out to him how players were peeling off, instead of finishing hits! Our next coach needs to crawl up players asses for that!
I also think that Comrie played a great game! Too late to help us, but it was a nice way to end his Sabres career.
Kudos to Adams. He said everything we wanted to hear. Mostly, that he wants someone with experience and pedigree. I believe he already has someone in line, and it's not going to be Seth Appert. It's a great day for the Sabre's and their fans….Rejoice!
Gerard Gallant for Coach funny enuf I'm from PEI too not the reason I mention him. He is a no nonsense coach I feel he is the guy
Lindy ruff would be great in President of Hockey ops. Would break our curse as well.
If you hadn't yet, go watch Adams' press conference. He is at least saying all the right things. He wants an experienced head coach who will hold players accountable and push players to get to the next level and missing the playoffs was absolutely a failure. I'm optimistic about this.
Hey WaynesyâŠ.What do you think about getting Joel Quenville??
Pleaseeee no Lindy Ruff
As a jets fan here, i feel for you guys. We got an ass ATL team the same year you last made playoffs…and I personally love and highly respect our gm. Some of our fans the last few years wanted chevy fired. I called them all idiots then, feel vindicated today. Some clowns in our fanbase would act like our time since we moved from ATL has been the worst across the league. Meanwhile no other Canadian team has won more since Jets came back.
I feel for fans like YOU guys, especially ARZ this season…The teams some of our fans felt like we were… These fans were just disconnected from the reality of our situation imo.
All the best from the peg! Hope to see the playoff drought end for you guys next year!
Joe, Lindy or Craig eh? No distraction coaches. Joe is a partial distraction in a way.. Glad Iâm not in charge
Vegas and Florida were number 1 and 2 in hits in last years playoffsâŠTampa and Colorado were number 1 and 2 in playoff hits 2021-22 playoffsâŠTampa number 1 in playoff hits 2020-21 playoffs. Tampa number 1 in playoff hits in 2019-20 playoffs. Blues number 1 in hits when they won the cupâŠetc. looks like hitting does matter in the playoffs. Buffalo didnât win the cup in 2005-2007 didnât hit much. Boston is always a great team and always near top of league in hits, they have missed the playoffs, only nine times in their entire franchise history.
Washington was a minus-37⊠whaaaaa
Seen this coming now i hope we go get either ruff or brind amor
I read Chuck Knox' autobiography, and one wise thing he said is new coaches want assistant coaches they know and are comfortable with, thus many great assistant coaches get fired when a new boy takes over as head coach.
Wayne …… this would be an AWESOME video. Ok, please listen, you go on "media blackout." You are on media blackout until a coach for our Sabres is named, and a friend of you tells you the Sabres hired a coach BUT YOU DON"T KNOW WHO IT IS YET!!!!
Then you start making a video, without knowing who the new coach is, and with the video running, your friend tells you who the coach is, with a close up of your face, and you REACT!
I would pay 20 dollars to see that video!
