Buffalo Sabres Head Coaches Job Is In Jeopardy After Embarrassing Loss
The Buffalo Sabres have hit a rough patch this season, and despite having a young core locked in for the long haul, their struggles are raising concerns among fans.
Tonight marked a breaking point for Sabres supporters as they suffered a 9-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. While it's typical for fans to express frustration after a tough defeat, there's a growing sentiment that a change behind the bench might be in order.
«Fire Donny» chants ringing through KeyBank Center.
Drawing parallels to the situation with DJ Smith in Ottawa, Sabres fans are making their discontent with the current coach known to both the team and ownership.
If the dissatisfaction continues to escalate, it won't be a shock if Buffalo considers making a coaching change. After all, Don Granato's record in parts of three seasons has been less than stellar, and it appears the players on the ice may have hit a roadblock in their response.
