Blue & Gold Talk – Adams Needs To Wake Up

Blue & Gold Talk – Adams Needs To Wake Up

Hi good evening everybody Welcome to blue and gold talk the video on the channel if you’re new here I throw random talk out there guys and that’s the mood I’m in for tonight I’m just going to throw up this video I’ll try to put some string of videos

Together on a certain day this week won’t be tonight I’m beat guys but I do want to talk about this team wish you all a Happy New Year hope everything is going good and all that stuff family events and all of it but when it comes

Down to it while you turned on this video wasn’t to hear Happy New Year you wanted to hear something some opinion some voice about the Buffalo Sabers and um guys I’ll tell you what this year there is no answers for the the inconsistent play except you know the more I look at

It we and we can break it down we can break down the numbers we can break down any facet of this game that you want and the one facet you can’t see the numbers is heart and I think somewhere along the lines in the summer we lost

Our heart as as an organization again don’t ask me how that happened I’m not about to try and project how that happened or try to investigate how that happened it doesn’t really matter the fact is it’s happened there’s there’s no heart there there it it like something’s very very wrong overall

With this team I think when they’re in the dressing room together who knows you know I’m not a fly in the wall so I don’t know what’s going on in that dressing room but I can tell you this guys it’s not the same team that we’ve

Seen the last two or even three years out there this year this team this year almost looks uninterested they do they look like they’re uninterested they don’t care about accountability all these things mattered not too long ago they cared about winning the fans back being accountable and the truth is if the

Pressure is too much for them we got to get rid of them you can’t have players that crumble under pressure when it comes to just this kind of pressure what about the playoffs you know so these are the thoughts Ramble On In My Head guys and

How do we find our heart as an organization again how do we find it besides winning I know winning is the proof I get that but we’re going to have to take a step we’re going to have to know as fans and we’re smart enough fan

Base to know when something is going on really bad with this team and something is right now something’s very wrong with this organization and guys we need a coaching change and our general manager is doing nothing about it he’s not doing a thing and that worries the hell out of me because if

Granado thinks that he has this team playing the way he wants them to play then he’s as lost folks as lost is cuz this team right now doesn’t look like they’re being coached by anybody they look like they’re a coach team when they play cuz they look like it doesn’t

Matter who’s behind the bench we’re feel we feel like playing tonight we’re going to play we don’t feel like it we’re not tonight it’s kind of what we’re getting this year isn’t it isn’t that what we’re getting we’re getting a team that feels like a low-end version of the Toronto

Maple Leafs they show up when they want to show up and we can’t have that we got to catch that early okay I’ll Blame A lot of it on on youth yes I will I will blame a lot on you we’re the youngest team in hockey we can use that excuse cuz it’s

Real but when it comes down to it they’re professional athletes who must be held accountable they get paid millions of dollars it’s not like us guys they don’t have to struggle to pay the rent and bills and those things don’t exist for those guys so for any of

You that feel bad for any of them go look at I encourage you to go look at their bank account next time you feel bad for one of these guys they get paid very well to disappoint us okay very well and I don’t think maxing out the

Cap’s the issue I don’t think getting a Patrick Kane was an issue that wouldn’t have helped that would have been a waste of money I think it’ll be a waste of money in Detroit we’ll see so far he’s playing good in Detroit do I think it’ll have any bearing on Detroit and their

Success no I just don’t I think Eiserman signed a lot of bad contracts over there and uh they’re going to catch up to them at some point maybe not this year they might just squeak in the playoffs I know right now they’re floating around 500 but we’ll

See what Detroit does you know when you look at the comparables Detroit Ottawa they’re not doing any better really than we are they’re still all struggling I mean they are as franchises but Detroit can come back and say yeah but we won four Stanley Cups recently you know they can say that we

Can’t say we got one so they got us there you know hey 2024 is here we need something from this team this year to let us know there’s a pulse because it feels like this team’s a corpse right now it really does guys they feel lifeless they feel

Empty they feel like they’ve given all they could last year and that’s all they had in the tank that’s how it feels and sometimes how it feels isn’t really the way it is but right now that’s how it feels for this guy and I think if you don’t use some of

Your assets now okay now and make a coaching change now then you’re a general manager who doesn’t have great survival instincts and if you’re a general manager who doesn’t have great survival instincts you got to go to Adams really you can’t sit on this like it’s nothing this time this is

Beyond the 12 years of not getting in it’s beyond that now okay it’s beyond that this was showing us a sign last year that this team was on the rise watching them take C step back but you just accepting it as a general manager that’s what I see it’s not good it’s not

Good it’s not acceptable to the fans it’s just not I’m not one of the fans that live in Buffalo and spend hundreds of dollars to go to these games I’m one that spends money to go to the games when they come here in Montreal which I’ll be going to guys by

The way I’m going I’ll be at the game this week when the when the Sabres are in town to play the hubs I’m going with Abe Abe got us tickets thank you Abe we’ll see how that we’ll see how that pans out when I’m at the game there’ll be some boys there in

Blue in blue jerseys and the goatheads you’ll see some Sabres fans there but uh you know they they’re what happened to the team that was supposed to be a threat this year what happened to the team that all of us expected to be better I mean wasn’t that realistic we

Expected this young group to get even better this year of course people that say they expected them to really get worse no and those are people that just want to believe in the worst or are outright lying it’s one of the other no anybody with half a brain would look at

This team last year and say my goodness this team is on the rise this team is moving in the right direction finally the GM has them going he has team friendly contracts locked in long term all of it and then this so yes the step backwards was a

Possibility I talked about it before the season it was a possibility it was we just didn’t need it as fans not this year not this year you know we we’ve waited too damn long for something to happen and folks God think about it what how how much have we lost in the last

Let’s say Dozen Years of Our Lives with loved ones pets we’ve lost just things in this life that were taken away from us while the saber stayed the same you know they stayed the same bad and um I don’t blame the fans for not packing up the building what was it the

Game was it the Columbus game the the house was pretty packed but I’m guessing because of the holidays and that’s my guess looked like a good sized crowd there that night I know I didn’t get the number I didn’t even check it online you know guys there’s a lot I’m going to go

Over I’ll do an inside the numbers video at some point in a few days and we’re going to break down this season before we get into the rest of the season we’ll break it down and look at it there’s things to look at that are important like this inconsistent play of not being

Able to win more than two in a row and 30 something games what the hell is going on I mean we’ve had one two game winning streak this year one like that’s be that was it’s beyond stupid if I there’s none of you that would have believed that if I would have

Told you guys that before the year started what if any of you believe that if I told you before the year started the Sabers would only have one two- game winning streak in the first half of the season because we’re coming up on the half I don’t know what to think anymore

Except I’m going to root them on it’s what I do as a fan oh my goodness guys we need a break and I think if anything I think I think I can safely say most Sab fans just want to see that there’s a pulse in the team at this point cuz it

Doesn’t feel like there is and it almost feels like we’re going through the same crap with the media okay I’m not talking I’m talking the in the post games how they say that the same old song and dance when they win and the same will song and dance when they

Lose and the five things we need to know ahead of the game and all like even the website’s just as guilty nobody’s talked about for years how the team lacks in physical play it’s it’s never mentioned it’s the Family secret nobody talks about it so what are we going to do like just

Pretend it’s that we know they’re they’re going to be they’re going to get out of this is this is this what the management wants us to think ownership wants us to think cuz we don’t see them taking action in desperate times and for us

Guys we know as fans that’s a sign of an unhealthy organization we had this hope that the organization’s turning a corner for we we had the right to think that too look we seen the positive steps they’ve been taking every year but now that we’ve hit like black ice let’s pretend we hit

We’re driving and we hit some black ice on the road and we didn’t see it coming and we’re turning now I mean you try not to crash right you do everything you try not to crash you don’t sit there and go like Adams in his office like

This like there’s a he talks about having conversations get on the goddamn phone Adams and make a trade just make a damn trade do anything to get the fans interest in the team again unless the fans don’t count which is how it feels sometimes with that organization I got to admit

They it does feel like that sometimes they just don’t care how the fans feel and that’s really pathetic it really is guys so I’m ticked off but I’m not like ranting I’m just telling you guys just how it feels as a Sabers F I’ve been a

Fan so damn long that to watch this franchise accept mediocrity one more time is not only disheartening it makes me so frustrated I want to put my hand through a telephone and grab Adam’s neck and Shake him and say wake up WIP that damn smile off your face get

On the goddamn phone and make a trade and get a coach in here get another coach shake up the organization that’s what GMS are supposed to do they’re not supposed to say I like Granado and I like this guy we really have good conversations together like this isn’t you know this isn’t reality

Guys it’s not the Brady Bunch it’s the Buffalo Sabres we need to do something we need to do it now we need to get this team if we’re going to salvage this season and I’m not even talking about making playoffs I’m talking salvaging the season meaning they get our hopes up at

Least they’re going to make the playoffs we’ll settle for that wouldn’t we right now we would I know we would and that’s sad that we would sett for that but we’re so disheartened with the lack of a pulse in this team that’s that’s to me more scary than

The losing guys is are we just going to accept nothing’s happening again and say all these things in interviews and but we don’t deal with the real issues which is the coach is lost the team doesn’t hit the power play is maybe the worst Power Play in Buffalo Sabers history they’re that

Bad they’re that bad I I I’m I’m going to have to do a video and check on this I mean I’m positive we’re under 10% now guys it’s beyond horrible like I don’t even like to watch when they have the power play maybe some of you relate to that I’ll get up I’ll

Go make a coffee or something I don’t want to watch the Power Play I really don’t because I’m going to get frustrated I’m going to watch delene come out of his Zone and the first thing they do is look back at their Zone and pass it back

Back what’s with not just going up ice with it I’d rather throw it in and Chase it then throw it back throw it back and then we can’t cross the Blue Line every time cuz teams have figured us out power plays a joke and I’ll tell you what by the

Year’s End my prediction the penalty kill will be average at best this year that’s what I see when I look at this team special teams aren’t going to get any better the the home record folks I just don’t know the road record we’re going to have a losing road

Record this year it sure looks like it they’re as lifeless on the road as they are at home this year and that’s the difference with last year and this year last year on the road we had something going on you know there’s two lives there’s the home life and the road life

And the road life was good last year this year it sucks it sucks this year that’s on the coach he can’t seem to get these guys motivated folks what more proof do we need that we need a coaching change you know and look the last few

Games I’ll tell you what if we had aart AER as our coach no he’ll just annoy me as bad I can tell already this guy will and I got nothing against these guys they’re okay coaches but we need to get a voice of reason in that room

Guys get a guy get a baru some of you mentioned baru yes I’m open to that get a guy that’s won the Stanley Cup as a coach I’m good with that get a Gala get a guy that’s uh that’s went to the finals I’m good with that there’s coaches out there

Available that I don’t care what the rest of the league thinks if we went and got a quinnville I don’t care what any of you think I want this team to win I want thisam team to win at all costs because what happened in Chicago has nothing to do with what’s going to

Happen in Buffalo that’s already exposed that’s already out in the open look at the leaf scandal in the early 80s folks it’s worse way worse and that’s already buried and forgotten so let’s not be Hypocrites and say oh look at Chicago well look at what what happened to the

Leafs in the early 80s go check it up online if you don’t know there’s a lot of things that happen in this league that aren’t good you know there is but when it comes to winning and losing isn’t that the game isn’t that what it’s

All about is that we have to find a way to win and right now I’m negotiable to getting a coach in here that’s going to take our players and go like this with them and twist them the right way and say listen you got to man up and take

Your guy next time when you got him lined up you know we need coaches like that not like Granado like not even paying attention if the team’s hitting or not I’m done with this coach guys as you can tell so we need I think we need a new coach we need a new

Captain we do but we’ll do that at the end of the year it’s okay for now but we need to change Captain if they sign ooso again at the end of this season guys I might just take the year off making videos I’m that fed up with the organization making boneheaded decisions

Like you know line up line up the proper Captain give it to Dalene let’s face it he’s the face of this team he’s the captain give it to him guy hits players every night makes passes every night takes penalties almost every night it feels like the guy’s out there doing stuff at

Least I feel bad for this guy to be honest and I’m saying that about a millionaire yeah but you can tell he’ll put his heart out there this guy he will now he if he’s making mistakes it’s because guys and I believe this infection spreads and we have to catch

This soon okay are this team is going to go like this and we’re all going to feel like we did 3 years ago very soon guys on that happy note I wish you Happy New Year and I’ll see you in some videos sooner this week sorry if this is

A bit of a long one wanted to have just a bit of a talk with you folks and uh I wasn’t even going to do a video tonight but I wanted to put one up there because there’s a lot on our minds with this team and I I would say the easiest way

To cope with this don’t even worry about the playoffs right now worry about the direct of the team then everything else just follows but right now the direction of this team guys is like a plane that’s nose diving that’s how this guy sees it

Right now see you in the next one have a great Night

Happy New Year to all of you 🥳 ..this video is a bit long but a lot of concerns mentioned in this one as we head into 2024..thanks for watching 😎
