Did you actually listen to the podcast or just the first 5-10 minutes?

What happens first? Sabrespace posting new threads asking my Terrence Pegula has still not made changes or Terrence Pegula making a change? 😉 I'm going to start a new club called BSA, Buffalo Sabres Anonymous. It'll be for people who have finally decided enough is enough and want to quit the Sabres and need support in staying away. Lord knows I need the help too. It's been 2 days since I've given a damn about the Buffalo Sabres. Well, I'm posting here, so maybe I'm back off the wagon?

Gotta love that salary on the 3rd pairing as well. But, I think it proves what we know. They have no confidence in him and the less he is on the ice the better. Good news is that I have a long list of things I will do instead of watch the game tonight. Thankfully beer league hockey superseded the Bills game last night. I love when life saves you from the misery that is Buffalo sports. My son and his friends on the other hand decided they want to go to the game tonight.

Adams needs to get Winnipeg on the phone and offer them UPL. Connor Hellebuyck will miss the next 4 to 6 weeks after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure.

This will be a bloodbath. 5-1 Chi and much sulking after a poor effort from the Sabres.

Nah didn’t we all universally agree Eichel was in the right? I seem to remember him being resoundingly cheered in his return He doesn’t care about doing what is necessary to field a team that wins in the now. The problem for 14 years has been a lack of expectation and accountability

I agree on that. I am curious and have to ask, how would you replace them and how would you like the D to be constructed?

With this front office, and his contract, UPL has until 2030 to prove himself.

I disagree that Terry doesn't care. He does. He simply doesn't know what to do. He's tried many different formulas with GM and coach and none of them have worked. If and when he make the right front office hire, things will improve. Whether he's capable of making that "right hire" is another story. It appears that Pegula knows how to run an oil company. That doesn't mean he knows how to run a professional hockey team. If the team is successful, it will sell more tickets, more beer and hot dogs, more jerseys and hats, etc. If they make the playoffs, the building will be sold out at higher ticket prices. All of this means more money in Pegula's pocket, so he wins both as a fan and as an owner.

Agree 100%.

My guess his game day back issue reported after morning practice that forced back up UPL into action that night in mid November was enough for Ruff to consider Lyon unreliable. Or, could be he is still recovering from his back issue. UPL has a stellar record against the Black Hawks. Think this is why he is starting tonight. Has nothing to do with Lyon necessarily.

They should move on from Byram because he's mediocre. They should move on from Power because he's passive. They should move on from both.

... I'm not used to getting proven right so quickly, so thxs I guess.

These guys shouldn't sip from coffee cups and water bottles during the podcast. It's simply horrifying. Fairburn especially seems to fill his mouth then comes close to swishing before swallowing. Just stop.

This is sarcasm, right? Just look at the titles on the threads on the front page. The players are getting trashed by us on a daily basis.

I assumed they’re trying to decide who to keep between UPL and Ellis?

This simply isn’t true at all.

Benson and Norris rotated in during drills.

Sam Lafferty goal watch in effect

OMG. They have a game tonight?

Because we never point fingers at the players. We feel sorry for the players. We want them to leave because we see them as victims. They are like spoiled children. All the stuff about the owner and GM are true but on ice level it's players playing the game. And when they start getting tired of all the losing and lose their love for the game, who is doing all the losing? Where is the respect for the fans that still show up and plunk down big money to watch them take a dump on the ice? Another good episode from Baker and Fairburn on this very topic.

What did Lyon do to lose Ruff’s confidence? He certainly had a bad stretch, but why the complete removal from the rotation?

Maybe I've figured this out. Terry is not passionate about the franchise or the fans. He's passionate about owning both. "i just bought a hockey team." Given a deal with the Hockey Gods... sell the team and the Sabres win a Cup in Year One Post-TP or own the team forever and never win one, I am 100% convinced I know what the answer would be.
