  1. Considering the middling efforts and relative mediocrity this organization has given us repeatedly it may surprise you that the Sabres have the 3rd highest winning percentage in NHL history behind only Montreal and Philadelphia (Boston was extremely close behind and may have surpassed them tonight, as a matter of fact).

     

    I know it surprised the hell out of me because as many fond memories I have of the Sabres I can think of more disappointing seasons than strings of excellence.

    Wow -- didn't realize that.

  2. This organization is sleeping in the bed they made at this point. Regier and Ruff and for that matter,Quinn, should all be canned and bring in a new management team and coaching staff. Spend the rest of the season (or a portion of it) evaluating then blow it up at the trade deadline(when teams grossly overpay). Get young prospects with promise and heart ( don't want to wait for draft picks to develop) and start over with a clear vision of what this team is going to be. What style of a team is this anyways? Does anyone know? Does this team have a mission statement ? Does this team have a hockey tradition or winning history? I don't think so. I've been following this team since 75 and I can honestly say other than 'the hardest working team in hockey' I can't remember there ever being a slogan that summed up what these guys are. What I do know is this team is rudderless and floundering and there appears to be no leaders that can pull them out of this funk. They've bottomed out as far as I can tell or are damn close to it.

    The problem is that Quinn is a minority owner, so he can't be canned unless Tom G tells him to butt out. And it appears to me that Quinn is a major part of the team's troubles.

    2) Sundowner

    3) I hope you like wings and boobies

    Not to be snide, but I don't see good-paying jobs on that list. I've had conversations with several potential employers. The salaries they were talking about were a joke. I mean 40 percent of what I was making here in Washington, DC. I wouldn't mind taking less money to move back, but I don't want to be scalped.

  4. This is the Buffalo metropolitan area where the same mistakes are made over, and over, and over, and over again and no one seems to learn from them and change their behavior and/or thinking. Witness the bridges; witness the state, county and local governments; witness the waterfront; witness Bass Pro; witness the Bills; etc.

    Which makes me wonder why I still want to move back.
