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.
