The Sabres organization fires head coach Don Granato as season ends

In a surprising turn of events, the Buffalo Sabres have parted ways with Head Coach Don Granato following a disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs.

The Sabres' season didn't pan out as hoped, with a final record of 39-37-6, falling short of playoff contention despite finishing above .500. The team's management made the decision to shake things up in response to this outcome.

The announcement of Granato's dismissal came just one day after the conclusion of the Sabres' final game. Additionally, Assistant Coach Jason Christie and video coach Matt Smith were also relieved of their duties.

Fans are now looking ahead to see who the Sabres will bring in as their new head coach in hopes of steering the team in a different direction for the upcoming season.
