What had to be far and away the most incredible thing about the Sabres is that they can’t even fire Seth Appert.
The PP is even worse…he’s never been a good coach…and they’ve failed to do anything helpful to the roster.
Easiest thing they could do. Can’t even do that.
@Sabremetrix Yeah.
That’s what people were trying to say all off-season while Jarmo didn’t do any of it.
This was a year to add talent to the roster. They lost talent instead.
Any time he’d like to realize he was promoted…that would be great.
@BuffaloSabres Who do you think has done less for the Sabres in 2026?
Jarmo who has been the GM through a trade deadline, draft and free agency period…
Or this sack of potatoes?
The answer might not be what you think!
@Sabremetrix It needed to be recalibrated. No team that decides to not try to replace Tuch, runs back their goalies knowing they can’t repeat and doesn’t change the assistants with that PP never “deserves” to win.
1. You now have a bottom of the league PK and aren’t outscoring the problems
2. You have a bottom of the barrel PP….even worse than before
3. A HOF goalie waived for you and you rolled back UPL
If you were to list the three things you KNEW would be an issue…is there any chance it isn’t these three things:
1. You didn’t replace your 30 goal scoring best PKer
2. You didn’t change the PP coach
3. The goaltending couldn’t repeat
Well…
@hahncakes50@JeremyWGR Adams would have had this done a long time ago. He was desperate to get anyone to waive for Buffalo. Jarmo is a whole different level of inactive.
@MatthewFairburn We go into every single game with a disadvantage on the PP, PK and goaltending. Usually a gigantic one.
They don’t change the coaches.
They don’t add to the roster.
They just accept this shit. Like…mission accomplished, guys! We did it!
