This is like the Ballard-era Leafs at this point, nothing is going right. When Kevin Lankinen, a rookie goalie making $850k a year, has more points (2 assists) than Jeff Skinner, there's a serious problem
The only thing that's missing now is the head coach wearing a paper bag over his head during games, and the broadcasting booth being shoved into an incinerator.
When the Sabres tanked all they could to get their hands on McDavid they started the beginning off of losing culture . Once your team has a losing culture it could be years to dig itself out have a look at the Edmonton Oilers
Leafs managed to dig themselves out of a losing culture. Though having Kadri, Marner, Nylander and Rielly is as big of a head start as you can get for a rebuild.
@@martytu20 I dont know if you could say we're not in a losing culture any more. Sure, we've made the playoffs, but we've yet to win a division, we've yet to win a playoff series. Last year we didnt even make the playoffs. I think if you wan't to say a team has dug itself out of a losing culture, they need to have "won" more than just regular season games and more than 3 playoff games, if they make it to the playoffs I've seen the leafs win a 1st round matchup many times in my life. I've seen them win a division. I've seen them make it to 4 conference finals. To me, the leafs are still struggling to get out of a culture of losing. They're close, but they're not there yet
If you are going to tank, you need to tank with players that aren't going to be with the team long, giving you the opportunity to bring in young players as well as going out and getting leaders with winning records. But you still need a good coaching staff with a good system to bring the team together and train the younger players. It should all be a part of the plan, and I don't think Buffalo had that part of the plan in place.
I really have no opinion about the Sabres; never really liked or disliked them. But you're right, from a non-Buffalo fan's perspective, it's actually sad to see how much this team has given up on itself. And the ownership and management is doing nothing to right the ship. I assume it's because they've made many futile moves in the recent past and things are still terrible. I can picture them shrugging their shoulders and saying "I'm out of ideas". Sad. My Sharks are bad and declining, but I've seen them ice good teams for most of the last 2 decades. I'm anticipating a return to respectability SOMEDAY, though we're saddled with bloated contracts and there's some, but not a lot of, young talent coming up. But I really can't imagine 10 years of being as bad as the Sabres have been. I'm glad passionate fans like you are upset and speaking out. Because you don't deserve this from your team.
I know right? I have always had a soft spot for the great, loyal, fanbases that have never known the joy (Vancouver, Minnesota, Winnipeg, etc.) However this young woman really has me wanting some mercy for the Buffalo fan. She expresses the frustrations of the long suffering fan so eloquently, and with great knowledge of the sport and her team. And you know this is multiplied a million fold all around Buffalo. More than that - She speaks for fed up fans from Hamilton to Syracuse and beyond. Fans that were already fed up years ago. Yet they truge on like zombies dutifully supporting their team. (I've experienced some of this as a fan of teams in other sports. Hockey was never this bad for me.) Before '19 my team, the Blues, had been the poster child for playoff disappointment. Great hopes dashed every post season. Honestly its what we were known most for around the league. What other fans would chide us for. Damn though, at least we were in the Playoffs (all but 9 seasons in our long history). At least we could be happy and hopeful from October to mid-April. Watching some good hockey before the inevitable collapse. Buffalo fans have seen their team miss the playoffs 9 times in.... well, the last 9 years. Nearly nothing to take joy in. Yet they stand by their team!!! "If mercy's in business I have wished it for you" ~ line from a Grateful Dead song.
What needs to happen is the Pegulas need to hire the right people for the job and let them do their thing and stay the hell out of it. Like they did with the Bills when they hired Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott and let them run the Bills. Or what's going to happen is Ralph Krueger gets fired and in 2 years we're going to want the other guy fired. And another 2 years we're going to want the other guy fired
The Sabres at this point are so miserable they’re driving BUFFALO FANS away. If a team can make Buffalo fans go away than everyone has to go (except Reinhart he’s solid, and maybe Cozens).
I used to really dislike Sabres and their fans up until when ROR won the Conn Smythe. Now I just feel bad and want them to be better. No fanbase deserves this amount of slaps in the face.
@@protoman1365 I would also include the Islanders fans for the horrible and classless way the fans have reacted to John Tavares leaving them to sign with the Leafs.
I appreciate your emotion and understand why Buffalo fans are fed up. The problem starts with ownership and the GM. Too many professional teams rely on former NHL players to coach or manage teams. The problem with that is that a former player had a career as a player and has limited exposure to the business side of hockey. Those former players often only use the eye test instead of statistical information readily available if they just used it. Buffalo needs to take drastic steps to get out of a hole that has been created through terrible mismanagement of talent and finances. Buffalo ownership should never award a multi year contract to a GM or coach until they exhibit they deserve one. The problem is most hockey guys won't work like that. The truth is most jobs do not offer long term contracts. You do a good job today and you can keep it until tomorrow. Keep the pressure on!
As an Islander fan, the only person I feel worse for than Sabres fans.. Is Rasmus Ristolainen. Poor Razzy. That goal will be on every highlight reel for 10 years
Starting out with the hat XD... perfect. What you say about Krueger is legit how I felt all those years with Jack Capuano. I know that pain. We legit had to make a billboard to get kick his ass out. Stay loyal to the end because as bad as it is now, that means the amazing highs and success to come will be that much sweeter. GGs girl!
Especially when Terry is supposed to be a hockey guy. They need a new GM and a TOUGH coach that holds the players accountable. They need some tough players badly.
I've watched every Islanders game this season, and Buffalo is the only team that makes our offense look elite. Like I'm baffled how poor the coverage is, it's consistently the worst I've seen in more than a few years. I feel so bad for Sabres fans man, it's so brutal. Every single player besides maybe Reinhart looks gassed, dejected, and lost.
Thanks for your honest opinion, I couldn't agree more. Our offense is obviously struggling, but the defensive coverage is what is really baffling to me.
I don't think I agree. I think the Pegula's need to sell the friggin' team. A coaching change isn't going to help this lack of talent...and bigger lack of a plan.
Wonder if Rayzor wants to coach, he sounds frustrated just calling the sabres games and has more energy then anyone in that Locker room I guarantee it!
Amen, Melody. I am beyond angry. My dad and I call him Freddie Krueger but he really needs to go. I don't know what to say about the Sabres. I am beginning to really lose my love of my game. I don't know what to say at this point. We really need some big changes. New coach, new GW who actually knows how to spell his name. SOMETHING!!!! I am so upset at this point. Thanks for your video.
From the outside I get the feeling, that the problem is rooted way deeper than coaching, roster or context; this is about culture. There is no common ground and no winning mentality.
Thank You Melody. As a Sabres fan since 1975, I've seen the French Connection, to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1999, to the current downfall. I have never seen the team this bad. I would even take a third go around with Ted Nolan as coach at this point. A change needs to be made. Even other sports publications have said so. Thank You for being a much needed voice on here.
@@harrisonsmith5983 Generally speaking you want it to be above 50 to be respectable. HDCF= High danger chances for.(usually in the slot area) xGF= Expected goals for(your positioning in the ozone vs. Dzone) SCF= Scoring chances for Given how all 3 are drastically below 40 and even 30 for high danger chances for%, way more bad happens than good when that trio's on the ice.
@@jaymielee1110 personally, I'm not a fan of wins above regulation(WAR). I use Natural Stat Trick to guide me and watch the game again to determine how clean all the scoring chances for/against really are.
The one problem is the coach, yes. But the biggest problem is your owner. This is the guy who put Pat Lafontaine in charge; then in a short period of time accepted/allowed GM Murray to dismantle the chain of command and basically be the decision maker over LaFontaine. Who again is LaFontaine and what credentials does he have? Sabres fans know. The best recent day of the Sabres hopes and last time I saw a fire light up again was when LaFontaine and Teddy Nolan were back where they belonged with the Sabres and Steve Ott was Captain. What happens now? The ship has sailed with LaFontaine and Nolan I'm sure. Perhaps Steve Ott returns to Buffalo as a coach and get's his first head coaching job. Bottom line: this team has been a mess for years because the owner/Pegula family are the ones who keep screwing it up by making poor management decisions. The owners need to go.
Really love the background. Didnt think you were gonna make a vid for a bit bc this team is just embarrassing. I'm happy you made one though bc you're the Goat Sabres fan
When I saw him say in one of his interviews ''It's not my job to improve the team, that's on the GM and management'' he should have been fired on the spot. What the hell is your job then Ralph? To stand there and try and force the players to play your style of play that doesn't work until you've lost the entire locker room? Yep, you done did that. I'm not saying firing him will fix everything, but he's clearly a big part of the current problem. I bet if we had Barry Trotz, wed be at the very least a .500% team. Yes Ralph, a coach can make a difference.
If you had trotz you would be a top 3 team, the islanders don't have a ton when it comes to stars and they're always very good, trotz is the best coach in the NHL
Yes yes yes. Fire him. I really like Jeff Skinner. (We share a birthday) He needs freedom. Interesting point about their bottom. And yes that is a nice hat. If you ever want to change allegiances, we in the Montreal Canadiens fandom are hospitable to all. I admire your loyalty, but I think you and Jack Eichel deserve better.
They should fire Krueger, but the team mostly looked lifeless and unaware on the ice when Housley was here. This is a roster issue just as much as it is a coaching issue.
Needs more leaders and avg players that play as a team and not worry about goals/assists stats. Eichel would be good on a team like Vegas or Dallas that holds him accountable instead of whinning all the time about losses.
This is a nearly perfect summary of the Sabres' situation. THANK YOU. And I'm glad someone finally mentioned Rasmus Dahlin. Watching that poor kid sink into the mud, when he had the potential to possibly win the Norris someday, is tragic. There's an old saying in sports: you can't fire an entire team (unspoken part: so fire the coach). Unfortunately, this is a team of coach killers. The only thing I would add is something everyone forgets: Pegula firing almost half the staff (front office, scouting and support staff) was bound to have an effect on the ice. That can't be ignored.
It was the Sabres entrenched culture of losing that forced them to hire a never was like Krueger in the first place. And now he's " loosing the room " They're " tuning him out " Take a bow Sabres, you've run another coach out of town. Will a better coach come to the elephant graveyard of the NHL ? I wouldn't bet on it !
What they are doing is deflating the trade value of all the best chips they currently have. This is poor asset management - but no one should be surprised.
"I truly find it amazing that there is no rock bottom for the sabers" That is hilarious. As a leafs fan, this entire situation is comical. Even though there is a whole other world of shame with leaf struggles. The fans also need to boycott their own team when it gets this bad... with no fans, then shit gets real! Hard to believe they have any fans. So take off that hat and jacket and spread the message
First things first 1 tar and feather the coach before running him out. 2 Fire the GM and kick him to the curb. 3 A complete fire sale on players. 4 Move the franchise to Mexico, I hear hockey is on the rise there so they may have more success.
I 100% agree. Just looking at their roster, the Sabres are not nearly the worst team in the league. With decent coaching they could have had shot at the playoffs if you ask me. But the need to act soon, because if talented players suck just because of bad coaching or frustration for too long, they will start to suck as players themselves and then even a good coach can't get them back to old strength. Talent can be ruined
I have personally met Ralph Kruger when he was coaching Edmonton.I was fighting cancer at the time and was invited to a Oilers practice.He personally skated off the ice,took his skates off and came over and talked to me and put his arm around me and told me everything is going to be great, you’re going to beat cancer again and just was such a kind guy.I don’t think the problem with the Sabres is not the coach....IT”S YOUR OWNERSHIP! They DON”T CARE about the hockey team.All he cares about is his NFL team that have been as bad as the Sabres for DECADES! Now in saying that yes maybe Kruger isn’t ment for the NHL but I will never can never say anything bad about him.I know him.He’s a great guy.The Sabres issues are not the coach...it’s the ownership.Super Pagula is one of the worst owners in pro sports I’ve ever seen in terms of not doing enough or spending enough money to make the team better.Great video though! :D How long have you been a Sabres fan? :D
I'll be the one to say it, but there's a direct correlation between Melody Martin videos increasing, and Sabres gameplay decreasing. Don't you dare @ me. Also THG did his power rankings last night and Buffalo is even below Seattle who hasn't even finished their arena yet.
I should probably also add that when you look at the more recent draft years (last 4 drafts) one of the problems I see is that during a time when the Sabres are still in a rebuilding/stock the prospect pool mode they actually didn't have at least 7 draft picks per draft. They were in between 5 to 6 picks per draft in the last 4 drafts (they drafted a total of 23 players in those draft years when if they had all of their picks they could have drafted 28 players). This is another indicator that the future of the Sabres may be a problem given the importance of the draft to teams mid to long term success in a hard cap era.
Sabres fans. I feel for you guys. You deserve so much better. This team is a absolute disaster. Losing is not fun at all it sucks. I feel your frustration
Well said! I’ve been watching this team every game for 41 years. We had losing years, we seldom had hopeless years. The owners did that. The owners shouldn’t be allowed to hire anyone in the hockey department, they have a decade long record (20%) of the team history of making horrible choices.
Been a Sabres fan since their inception, as a kid. Still am. BUT, I can't watch them at all anymore. I don't get mad. I just listen to everyone else get mad. I don't need that aggravation. I've probably watched between 10 & 20 games (yes, I still love hockey) from start to finish the last 6 years or so COMBINED! Typical watch time for an average Sabres game for me is about 5 minutes. It's generally enough time to tell what the outcome will be. I'll keep checking in, but that's about it. Maybe someday they'll be worth watching again......... The law of averages says they will, but I won't hold my breath waiting. Best of luck to all of you that continue to punish yourselves on purpose watching this team. I hope it gets better.🙂
I dont think its the coach, u fired so many coaches already. I think Eichel is just over rated, needs to work on 2 way center skills more. The team is flawed and needs better def core and goaltending. I would tear down and rebuild. It is time to trade eichel and rebuild. Get a good GM who can hire a good coach.
I have never seen so much frustration and pain put into a video before. I feel so bad for you. I am a Rangers fan and seeing Zibanejad having trouble to score a freakin' goal isn't so bad but man. This team is a mess. So sorry again you have to deal with this crap.
Firing Krueger serves no purpose, how many coaches have the Sabres gone through over the years like the dude is not good as coach but it is not like another coach can do better. Skinner at 9 million is useless, Hall at 8 million useless, then you got terrible blueline and a complete lack of depth down the middle this team is so beyond fixable putting it on the coach is not entirely fair, Hall has been regressing ever since his MVP season why someone would give him 8 million is beyond me and then Skinner has been known to be inconsistent yet they gave him 9 million, and Eichel has clearly given up and he needs a fresh start
@ jack fisher Maybe Gallant would go to Buffalo but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't interested & waited for a better opportunity with another team.
Who do you replace him with? Do you go with a veteran or with an inexperienced head coach who has been a long time assistant? Veteran Claude Julien or long rime assistant Manny Malhotra as examples. watching some Sabres games on tv I notice that players are making the same mistakes over and over again.
Kevin Adams needs to sit Down and do something major Here. The season is done for the Sabres, but he needs do something RIGHT NOW!! If this were the Panthers, I would be pissed. There are so many issues on this team, and that needs to be fixed right now. This team can’t go through another rebuild again. Some things he could do: - fire Krueger, and find a coach like Gallant. - go through all the player contracts - Trade hall, if someone is interested. - buyout Okposo in the offseason. ... I’m not a GM, but I think it makes sense.
Hey, Jets fan here, who has lived in Edmonton during the 4 years of No. 1 draft picks (sorry about Hall). I feel your pain and understand what terrible Management and Coaching can do. Proud of our organization True North Sports and Entertainment; we say it during the anthem.
You nailed it! I think what you described is how every Sabres fan feels... Someone needs to call it out! What is going on... the only constant at this point is Kim having a role in the organization....
The Sabres signed Taylor Hall to "make a run at the Cup". We all laughed and some said we should give them a chance, given how much talent they have. They're a really talented hockey team, but I agree. The GM seems to care enough to make a big move like signing Hall, but it's gotta be the coach at this point. I'm just an outsider, but from my pov, their gm isn't bad and their players are really good, I don't know what else it could be However, I don't think it's a move that comes during the season. Especially with covid, there's not really a safe bet for coaches and I don't think ownership would want to pay someone to not coach their team, you know?
Melody, you are spot on. I think you said a while back you didn't want to comment on the team and play, and you couldn't not say anything. I too don't even care to get caught on replays of the game highlights, as I live out west now.
Your team is shit. Period. You need a president of hockey ops. Let him bring in experienced management. Tell the owner to go away and blow this team apart and start from scratch.
I’m not a Sabres fan (I’m an Islanders fan) but I appreciate your passion. I don’t come here to gloat as my Islanders were in the same boat that the Sabres are in now for many many years. I totally get the frustration and anger. While I won’t say I’m rooting for you guys (I’m an Islanders fan after all lol) keep the faith and hang in there with your team. When they go back to winning it will feel that much sweeter. Again kudos with your passion and fandom 👍🏻
Bills will never get past KC. Allen will never be able to compete with Mahomes. They have 1 good year and everyone thinks they are going to be around for 10 years. KC yes. Buffalo Bills. Good luck. Oh and go Stars baby!
@@jacobpule6390 No goal, buddy... And, the Bills not getting passed Kc, probably a butthurt Cowboys fan, or maybe a Texans fan? Bills had the number 4 ranked offense last year, that was mainly from the passing game. Point being, this a passing league, and the Bills are built to pass the ball. Why, Josh Allen, who had a better year statically than Mahomes, throwing it. Btw, it was Josh Allen's first ever Afc conference game, where as Mahomes, it was his third or fourth in a row... So, yeah KC was going to win regardless of it being in Buffalo or not, they had way more experience.... But, here's the thing, the LOLphins, Yets, and Cheatroits aren't going to de-thrown the Bills next, year, or the year after that, because the Bills, believe or not are the class of the AFC East. Furthermore, Buffalo is going to be a attractive place for free agents this off season, especially coming close to the Superbowl, that are looking to join a SUPERBOWL CONTENDER...
@@midnighthoodstrikesback We have seen 2 years of hilarious cry baby Josh Allen in the playoffs. The Bills will never learn that they need to just run the ball. If they would have had a solid running game this year. They wouldn’t have been demolished by KC. Because KC did just that. They destroyed them. Allen will never, ever get to Mahomes level or anywhere near it. Good night.
As a lifetime islanders fan who was born way after the dynasty years I empathize with you. For years screaming to get help for tavares because there's no way hockey coaches could have that much impact, it's gotta be the players. Then the isles were the worst defensive team over the course of two seasons. Then they lose their superstar center and replace him with a couple of role players and an apparently bust goalie. We get trotz and go from the worst defensive team to the best in his first season with arguably less talent.all these players who seemed that they weren't good enough all of a sudden look great. Adam pelech looked like a career 7th defenseman is now a top two shut down defender. Lehner looked done, the isles get the caps goalie coach and he plays elite...greiss looked done and was made into a 1b goalie....then varlamov who looked washed up comes and is now an elite starter. Coaching can mean so much more than I ever could've known....and I've played ice hockey my whole life and still didn't realize it. Elite coaching can get every ounce of talent out of his team....awful coaching can destroy careers. Buffalo has a very decent amount of talent....honestly in a regular 82 game season with the usual divisions I could see them snagging the 8th spot possibly the 7 spot and giving their opponent a tough series. They have a could be great top pair defense and elite high end scoring.....I feel your pain....but we're hockey fans so you know we'll be here regardless. Also, I never really follow the sabres, just cause they're not a rival to the isles usually in different divisions, so they usually aren't on my radar, but I enjoy your videos so much I don't even care which team it is lol....you've actually got me kind of pulling for them now to get going....except when they play the islanders lol

Can't agree more if I tried. Why is Skinner, who isn't a defensive forward going out on the fourth line?
Propably Botteril has asked Krueger to play him ->
Because maybe he's not good enough to play on the 1st 3 lines? My guess.

And you know this is multiplied a million fold all around Buffalo. More than that - She speaks for fed up fans from Hamilton to Syracuse and beyond.
Fans that were already fed up years ago. Yet they truge on like zombies dutifully supporting their team. (I've experienced some of this as a fan of teams in other sports. Hockey was never this bad for me.)
Before '19 my team, the Blues, had been the poster child for playoff disappointment. Great hopes dashed every post season.
Honestly its what we were known most for around the league. What other fans would chide us for. Damn though, at least we were in the Playoffs (all but 9 seasons in our long history). At least we could be happy and hopeful from October to mid-April. Watching some good hockey before the inevitable collapse.
Buffalo fans have seen their team miss the playoffs 9 times in.... well, the last 9 years. Nearly nothing to take joy in. Yet they stand by their team!!!
"If mercy's in business I have wished it for you" ~ line from a Grateful Dead song.
What needs to happen is the Pegulas need to hire the right people for the job and let them do their thing and stay the hell out of it. Like they did with the Bills when they hired Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott and let them run the Bills.
Or what's going to happen is Ralph Krueger gets fired and in 2 years we're going to want the other guy fired. And another 2 years we're going to want the other guy fired
Is will never end as long as the Pegula's keep interfering with the operations.
@Matthew give her 51% of the ownership
at this point I'm starting to think they just got lucky with the Bills hires.
The Sabres at this point are so miserable they’re driving BUFFALO FANS away. If a team can make Buffalo fans go away than everyone has to go (except Reinhart he’s solid, and maybe Cozens).
Olofsson???
What a great hat.
Lol

@@Anfernee3355 just like the sabres
Just bought one, this may become the best selling Sabre hat EVER!
I used to really dislike Sabres and their fans up until when ROR won the Conn Smythe. Now I just feel bad and want them to be better.

Omg 😂 YESSSsss!!! Do it, Melody! 🖤🎵🖤
Also, "I'm not mad" yells for the next 10 minutes, but I completely agrre
I appreciate your emotion and understand why Buffalo fans are fed up. The problem starts with ownership and the GM. Too many professional teams rely on former NHL players to coach or manage teams. The problem with that is that a former player had a career as a player and has limited exposure to the business side of hockey. Those former players often only use the eye test instead of statistical information readily available if they just used it. Buffalo needs to take drastic steps to get out of a hole that has been created through terrible mismanagement of talent and finances. Buffalo ownership should never award a multi year contract to a GM or coach until they exhibit they deserve one. The problem is most hockey guys won't work like that. The truth is most jobs do not offer long term contracts. You do a good job today and you can keep it until tomorrow. Keep the pressure on!
As an Islander fan, the only person I feel worse for than Sabres fans..
Is Rasmus Ristolainen.
Poor Razzy. That goal will be on every highlight reel for 10 years

Starting out with the hat XD... perfect. What you say about Krueger is legit how I felt all those years with Jack Capuano. I know that pain. We legit had to make a billboard to get kick his ass out. Stay loyal to the end because as bad as it is now, that means the amazing highs and success to come will be that much sweeter. GGs girl!
Could not agree more. He has clearly lost the room.
Just like the other five coaches

Lol the Jets
Wow, Jets fans are smart
Damn that's good, someone should have made a joke about it in a video
The Buffalo Sabres' owner probably got his management idea from the Netflix TV series TED LASSO. lmao
The hat completely epitomizes what everyone thinks when the pegulas speak
You are a star. Sabres can be proud to have a supporter like you. It's great to see your passion. Sometimes it is worth to shout your opinion.
I agree with you, Mel. The Sabres needs to fire Krueger.
As much as I admire the Pegulas for what they have done for the Bills, I am at a loss with the Sabres !
They should let people who know more about hockey run the show imo.
Especially when Terry is supposed to be a hockey guy. They need a new GM and a TOUGH coach that holds the players accountable. They need some tough players badly.
@@MrGeerbear If by 'TOUGH' you mean holding players accountable, yes, I agree. Otherwise, sit them on the bench and limit their ice time.
I've watched every Islanders game this season, and Buffalo is the only team that makes our offense look elite. Like I'm baffled how poor the coverage is, it's consistently the worst I've seen in more than a few years. I feel so bad for Sabres fans man, it's so brutal. Every single player besides maybe Reinhart looks gassed, dejected, and lost.
Thanks for your honest opinion, I couldn't agree more. Our offense is obviously struggling, but the defensive coverage is what is really baffling to me.
Did you forget the 3rd period vs. Boston last week?
I don't think I agree. I think the Pegula's need to sell the friggin' team. A coaching change isn't going to help this lack of talent...and bigger lack of a plan.
Taylor Hall, Jeff Skinner, and Jack Eichel. A combined 4 goals & they're being paid $27 million? Seriously?
That's $6.75 million per goal.
Wonder if Rayzor wants to coach, he sounds frustrated just calling the sabres games and has more energy then anyone in that Locker room I guarantee it!
what?! he has been stupidly positive lately,
Amen, Melody. I am beyond angry. My dad and I call him Freddie Krueger but he really needs to go. I don't know what to say about the Sabres. I am beginning to really lose my love of my game. I don't know what to say at this point. We really need some big changes. New coach, new GW who actually knows how to spell his name. SOMETHING!!!! I am so upset at this point.
Thanks for your video.
From the outside I get the feeling, that the problem is rooted way deeper than coaching, roster or context; this is about culture. There is no common ground and no winning mentality.
100% correct
Agreed - a shakeup is needed, not a blowup. There’s no fire at all from that organisation, right now. I get bored watching them play
Reinhert,Ulmark and Couzins best three this year. The rest can take a hike
Good news, You're free from Ralph Kruger
The Buffalo Sabres aren't rock bottom, they're in the void, they just keep falling.
Losing 18 games must be rock bottom
Thank You Melody. As a Sabres fan since 1975, I've seen the French Connection, to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1999, to the current downfall. I have never seen the team this bad. I would even take a third go around with Ted Nolan as coach at this point. A change needs to be made. Even other sports publications have said so. Thank You for being a much needed voice on here.
I feel sad for Sabres fans, but laughed so much to that hat. Once there merchandise that actually tells the truth.
New to Melody's channel. Figures after loads of loyal fandom vids it's this one that's blowing up. Love your style Mel, KEEP GOING!
So, that Sabres 3rd line
xGF%: 32.82
HDCF%: 28.57
SCF%: 34.48
Yup. It's a mess
Could you please explain what those numbers mean to an idiot
Ha! Im the same even melody too. When all these numbers start flashing on the screen im like this isnt math lets just worry about the hockey.
@@harrisonsmith5983 Generally speaking you want it to be above 50 to be respectable.
HDCF= High danger chances for.(usually in the slot area)
xGF= Expected goals for(your positioning in the ozone vs. Dzone)
SCF= Scoring chances for
Given how all 3 are drastically below 40 and even 30 for high danger chances for%, way more bad happens than good when that trio's on the ice.
@@jaymielee1110 personally, I'm not a fan of wins above regulation(WAR). I use Natural Stat Trick to guide me and watch the game again to determine how clean all the scoring chances for/against really are.
@@BH33312 hey bubba, start a channel and put some videos out about these detailed analytics......I find myself wondering also
I'm not a Sabres fan but I totally appreciate Melody's passion. If you really, truly didn't care you wouldn't have made an 17:51 video.
Buffalo sure seems to go through a lot of coaches! That is rarely a blueprint for success.
The one problem is the coach, yes. But the biggest problem is your owner. This is the guy who put Pat Lafontaine in charge; then in a short period of time accepted/allowed GM Murray to dismantle the chain of command and basically be the decision maker over LaFontaine. Who again is LaFontaine and what credentials does he have? Sabres fans know. The best recent day of the Sabres hopes and last time I saw a fire light up again was when LaFontaine and Teddy Nolan were back where they belonged with the Sabres and Steve Ott was Captain. What happens now? The ship has sailed with LaFontaine and Nolan I'm sure. Perhaps Steve Ott returns to Buffalo as a coach and get's his first head coaching job. Bottom line: this team has been a mess for years because the owner/Pegula family are the ones who keep screwing it up by making poor management decisions. The owners need to go.
Really love the background. Didnt think you were gonna make a vid for a bit bc this team is just embarrassing. I'm happy you made one though bc you're the Goat Sabres fan
When I saw him say in one of his interviews ''It's not my job to improve the team, that's on the GM and management'' he should have been fired on the spot. What the hell is your job then Ralph? To stand there and try and force the players to play your style of play that doesn't work until you've lost the entire locker room? Yep, you done did that. I'm not saying firing him will fix everything, but he's clearly a big part of the current problem. I bet if we had Barry Trotz, wed be at the very least a .500% team. Yes Ralph, a coach can make a difference.
If you had trotz you would be a top 3 team, the islanders don't have a ton when it comes to stars and they're always very good, trotz is the best coach in the NHL
@@carterhayes1995 Agreed!
I wanna see Melody and Steve Dangle sit in a room and talk about their teams.
Yes yes yes. Fire him. I really like Jeff Skinner. (We share a birthday) He needs freedom. Interesting point about their bottom.
And yes that is a nice hat.
If you ever want to change allegiances, we in the Montreal Canadiens fandom are hospitable to all. I admire your loyalty, but I think you and Jack Eichel deserve better.
They should fire Krueger, but the team mostly looked lifeless and unaware on the ice when Housley was here. This is a roster issue just as much as it is a coaching issue.
Needs more leaders and avg players that play as a team and not worry about goals/assists stats. Eichel would be good on a team like Vegas or Dallas that holds him accountable instead of whinning all the time about losses.
@@plowking813 Hes always been the best player on the team so no one holds him accountable. RoR did and Eichel had him traded away for nothing.
This is a nearly perfect summary of the Sabres' situation. THANK YOU. And I'm glad someone finally mentioned Rasmus Dahlin. Watching that poor kid sink into the mud, when he had the potential to possibly win the Norris someday, is tragic. There's an old saying in sports: you can't fire an entire team (unspoken part: so fire the coach). Unfortunately, this is a team of coach killers. The only thing I would add is something everyone forgets: Pegula firing almost half the staff (front office, scouting and support staff) was bound to have an effect on the ice. That can't be ignored.
Lucic has more goals than Eichel, Skinner, and Hall combined
It was the Sabres entrenched culture of losing that forced them to hire a never was like Krueger in the first place. And now he's " loosing the room " They're " tuning him out " Take a bow Sabres, you've run another coach out of town. Will a better coach come to the elephant graveyard of the NHL ? I wouldn't bet on it !
What they are doing is deflating the trade value of all the best chips they currently have. This is poor asset management - but no one should be surprised.
"I truly find it amazing that there is no rock bottom for the sabers"
That is hilarious.
As a leafs fan, this entire situation is comical. Even though there is a whole other world of shame with leaf struggles.
The fans also need to boycott their own team when it gets this bad... with no fans, then shit gets real! Hard to believe they have any fans.
So take off that hat and jacket and spread the message
We all know Ville Leino is watching every Sabres game now hoping Jeff Skinner doesnt get a goal this year
Christ good point!!!
First things first 1 tar and feather the coach before running him out. 2 Fire the GM and kick him to the curb. 3 A complete fire sale on players. 4 Move the franchise to Mexico, I hear hockey is on the rise there so they may have more success.
You know you suck when you’re driving away a fan like Melody. She deserves so much better for being such a huge fan.
I 100% agree. Just looking at their roster, the Sabres are not nearly the worst team in the league.
With decent coaching they could have had shot at the playoffs if you ask me.
But the need to act soon, because if talented players suck just because of bad coaching or frustration for too long, they will start to suck as players themselves and then even a good coach can't get them back to old strength. Talent can be ruined
He's nothing more a soccer ⚽️ coach.
I have personally met Ralph Kruger when he was coaching Edmonton.I was fighting cancer at the time and was invited to a Oilers practice.He personally skated off the ice,took his skates off and came over and talked to me and put his arm around me and told me everything is going to be great, you’re going to beat cancer again and just was such a kind guy.I don’t think the problem with the Sabres is not the coach....IT”S YOUR OWNERSHIP! They DON”T CARE about the hockey team.All he cares about is his NFL team that have been as bad as the Sabres for DECADES! Now in saying that yes maybe Kruger isn’t ment for the NHL but I will never can never say anything bad about him.I know him.He’s a great guy.The Sabres issues are not the coach...it’s the ownership.Super Pagula is one of the worst owners in pro sports I’ve ever seen in terms of not doing enough or spending enough money to make the team better.Great video though! :D How long have you been a Sabres fan? :D
Don't forget Krueger's obsession of making Tage Thompson a first line winger. If you keep pushing him into the first line maybe it'll click...
I'll be the one to say it, but there's a direct correlation between Melody Martin videos increasing, and Sabres gameplay decreasing. Don't you dare @ me. Also THG did his power rankings last night and Buffalo is even below Seattle who hasn't even finished their arena yet.
This team needs the Torts.
Lol I was gonna comment this.
He's secure so far with the Blue Jackets. But your right. They need a hard driving coach and a system that the players can believe in.
Boudreau
Nobody needs Torts. That guy is a clown, plain and simple.
@@brucecarter6205 say that to his face I dare you
I should probably also add that when you look at the more recent draft years (last 4 drafts) one of the problems I see is that during a time when the Sabres are still in a rebuilding/stock the prospect pool mode they actually didn't have at least 7 draft picks per draft. They were in between 5 to 6 picks per draft in the last 4 drafts (they drafted a total of 23 players in those draft years when if they had all of their picks they could have drafted 28 players).
This is another indicator that the future of the Sabres may be a problem given the importance of the draft to teams mid to long term success in a hard cap era.
Reinhart vs the world... Okposo should be getting a lot more blame then he currently is.
Ralph's infatuation with Okposo is inexplicable
Sabres fans. I feel for you guys. You deserve so much better. This team is a absolute disaster. Losing is not fun at all it sucks. I feel your frustration
At least they never lost to an emergency goalie who works for them.
At this point the Sabres are so bad. You can't even use that one
Well said! I’ve been watching this team every game for 41 years. We had losing years, we seldom had hopeless years. The owners did that. The owners shouldn’t be allowed to hire anyone in the hockey department, they have a decade long record (20%) of the team history of making horrible choices.
My heart goes out to you.
❤️ from a Wings fan
the only difference is you expected to be bad. yzerman could still make your team at 55 y/o.
Been a Sabres fan since their inception, as a kid. Still am. BUT, I can't watch them at all anymore. I don't get mad. I just listen to everyone else get mad. I don't need that aggravation. I've probably watched between 10 & 20 games (yes, I still love hockey) from start to finish the last 6 years or so COMBINED! Typical watch time for an average Sabres game for me is about 5 minutes. It's generally enough time to tell what the outcome will be. I'll keep checking in, but that's about it. Maybe someday they'll be worth watching again......... The law of averages says they will, but I won't hold my breath waiting. Best of luck to all of you that continue to punish yourselves on purpose watching this team. I hope it gets better.🙂
I dont think its the coach, u fired so many coaches already. I think Eichel is just over rated, needs to work on 2 way center skills more. The team is flawed and needs better def core and goaltending. I would tear down and rebuild. It is time to trade eichel and rebuild. Get a good GM who can hire a good coach.
I have never seen so much frustration and pain put into a video before. I feel so bad for you. I am a Rangers fan and seeing Zibanejad having trouble to score a freakin' goal isn't so bad but man. This team is a mess. So sorry again you have to deal with this crap.
At least you have the Bills 👍🏻
Firing Krueger serves no purpose, how many coaches have the Sabres gone through over the years like the dude is not good as coach but it is not like another coach can do better. Skinner at 9 million is useless, Hall at 8 million useless, then you got terrible blueline and a complete lack of depth down the middle this team is so beyond fixable putting it on the coach is not entirely fair, Hall has been regressing ever since his MVP season why someone would give him 8 million is beyond me and then Skinner has been known to be inconsistent yet they gave him 9 million, and Eichel has clearly given up and he needs a fresh start
Fire Krueger and hire Gerard Gallant before he goes to Seattle
@ jack fisher
Maybe Gallant would go to Buffalo but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't interested & waited for a better opportunity with another team.
Who do you replace him with? Do you go with a veteran or with an inexperienced head coach who has been a long time assistant? Veteran Claude Julien or
long rime assistant Manny Malhotra as examples.
watching some Sabres games on tv I notice that players are making the same mistakes over and over again.
Fire Kruger and maybe get Torts if Columbus gets rid of him soon
He just got a vote of confidence from the GM. So he's staying for the season.
Kevin Adams needs to sit Down and do something major Here. The season is done for the Sabres, but he needs do something RIGHT NOW!! If this were the Panthers, I would be pissed. There are so many issues on this team, and that needs to be fixed right now. This team can’t go through another rebuild again.
Some things he could do:
- fire Krueger, and find a coach like Gallant.
- go through all the player contracts
- Trade hall, if someone is interested.
- buyout Okposo in the offseason.
... I’m not a GM, but I think it makes sense.
You should do a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory reviews till Krueger is gone
Or a "I watched ____ instead of the Sabres" series until he's gone
Hey, Jets fan here, who has lived in Edmonton during the 4 years of No. 1 draft picks (sorry about Hall).
I feel your pain and understand what terrible Management and Coaching can do.
Proud of our organization True North Sports and Entertainment; we say it during the anthem.
Your passion for the Sabres is real, keep the faith. LGI
if only the sabres would show the same passion, they might win sometimes.
You nailed it! I think what you described is how every Sabres fan feels... Someone needs to call it out! What is going on... the only constant at this point is Kim having a role in the organization....
What they REALLY need to do is get new owners 😂
Ducks fan here. Been watching my team play badly this season as well. You have my sympathy and empathy.
I stopped caring tbh since they traded ROR they got so much worse and it shows he should’ve never been moved
The Sabres signed Taylor Hall to "make a run at the Cup". We all laughed and some said we should give them a chance, given how much talent they have. They're a really talented hockey team, but I agree. The GM seems to care enough to make a big move like signing Hall, but it's gotta be the coach at this point. I'm just an outsider, but from my pov, their gm isn't bad and their players are really good, I don't know what else it could be
However, I don't think it's a move that comes during the season. Especially with covid, there's not really a safe bet for coaches and I don't think ownership would want to pay someone to not coach their team, you know?
Anyone else hear about Skinner and Ralph's wife?
Melody, you are spot on. I think you said a while back you didn't want to comment on the team and play, and you couldn't not say anything. I too don't even care to get caught on replays of the game highlights, as I live out west now.
I said this day 1 when he put SKINNER on the 4th line into a Checking role....hes out of his mind
Your team is shit. Period. You need a president of hockey ops. Let him bring in experienced management. Tell the owner to go away and blow this team apart and start from scratch.
@@goalieguy41 at this point, you might have to....
@@andrewhogan6533 I’m a Leaf fan. They did it here. Our end result is win during the season fuck the playoffs
But but but, Ralph wants 4 scoring lines - and ends up with 0 scoring lines.
I’m not a Sabres fan (I’m an Islanders fan) but I appreciate your passion. I don’t come here to gloat as my Islanders were in the same boat that the Sabres are in now for many many years. I totally get the frustration and anger. While I won’t say I’m rooting for you guys (I’m an Islanders fan after all lol) keep the faith and hang in there with your team. When they go back to winning it will feel that much sweeter. Again kudos with your passion and fandom 👍🏻
You can go back and watch the Bills reactions as therapy
Bills will never get past KC. Allen will never be able to compete with Mahomes. They have 1 good year and everyone thinks they are going to be around for 10 years. KC yes. Buffalo Bills. Good luck.
Oh and go Stars baby!
@@jacobpule6390 No goal, buddy...
And, the Bills not getting passed Kc, probably a butthurt Cowboys fan, or maybe a Texans fan?
Bills had the number 4 ranked offense last year, that was mainly from the passing game. Point being, this a passing league, and the Bills are built to pass the ball. Why, Josh Allen, who had a better year statically than Mahomes, throwing it. Btw, it was Josh Allen's first ever Afc conference game, where as Mahomes, it was his third or fourth in a row... So, yeah KC was going to win regardless of it being in Buffalo or not, they had way more experience.... But, here's the thing, the LOLphins, Yets, and Cheatroits aren't going to de-thrown the Bills next, year, or the year after that, because the Bills, believe or not are the class of the AFC East. Furthermore, Buffalo is going to be a attractive place for free agents this off season, especially coming close to the Superbowl, that are looking to join a SUPERBOWL CONTENDER...
@@midnighthoodstrikesback
I’m a Chiefs fan. No Buffalo isn’t going anywhere. Good luck sir.
@@jacobpule6390 Sure, ok... We will see won't we...
@@midnighthoodstrikesback
We have seen 2 years of hilarious cry baby Josh Allen in the playoffs. The Bills will never learn that they need to just run the ball. If they would have had a solid running game this year. They wouldn’t have been demolished by KC. Because KC did just that. They destroyed them.
Allen will never, ever get to Mahomes level or anywhere near it. Good night.
As a lifetime islanders fan who was born way after the dynasty years I empathize with you. For years screaming to get help for tavares because there's no way hockey coaches could have that much impact, it's gotta be the players. Then the isles were the worst defensive team over the course of two seasons. Then they lose their superstar center and replace him with a couple of role players and an apparently bust goalie. We get trotz and go from the worst defensive team to the best in his first season with arguably less talent.all these players who seemed that they weren't good enough all of a sudden look great. Adam pelech looked like a career 7th defenseman is now a top two shut down defender. Lehner looked done, the isles get the caps goalie coach and he plays elite...greiss looked done and was made into a 1b goalie....then varlamov who looked washed up comes and is now an elite starter. Coaching can mean so much more than I ever could've known....and I've played ice hockey my whole life and still didn't realize it. Elite coaching can get every ounce of talent out of his team....awful coaching can destroy careers. Buffalo has a very decent amount of talent....honestly in a regular 82 game season with the usual divisions I could see them snagging the 8th spot possibly the 7 spot and giving their opponent a tough series. They have a could be great top pair defense and elite high end scoring.....I feel your pain....but we're hockey fans so you know we'll be here regardless. Also, I never really follow the sabres, just cause they're not a rival to the isles usually in different divisions, so they usually aren't on my radar, but I enjoy your videos so much I don't even care which team it is lol....you've actually got me kind of pulling for them now to get going....except when they play the islanders lol
