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.

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.

I’ll be in Lewiston on Sunday. I’ll Rick to step up and get involved.

Gotta love Power-Bryson.

The team and staff both suck and are poorly constructed. Not a tough concept if you’ve paid attention the last decade and a half.

8 sacks. Countless QB pressures. Allen with no designed run plays to slow them down. Allen on QB draws could have slowed the defense down. A fourth quarter 4th and 1 and they call a slow developing backfield handoff to Cook for a loss. A final drive 3rd and 1 screen pass that gets deflected by a DT. offside on 4th and 1 with the game on the line - that play was a pass. A simple tush push on any of these plays and the drive for points continue. They had timeouts available. Both Bills offensive tackles were playing hurt and getting abused by the best DE combos in the league. Never once did I see a Bills TE or RB help them by chipping the DE to buy Allen more pocket time. Joe Brady’s play calling has been figured out, Miami stopped this offense so you knew Texas was going to be tough. Brady is showing us he is not up to it. OC is my first move. Go outside for his replacement. There are other problems too but the easy fix is 5he OC and a top notch WR for the offense. The defense needs a lot more help. Five good players from the past are no longer performing. Milano can barely move, he misses tackles and is done. Tre White is a liability. Terrell Bernard is struggling. Taron Johnson seems worn out too. Poyer is a desperate patch at Safety. Then there is the DL that never improves despite all the draft capital spent there
