  1. "He's the devil, Pegula's the devil!" echoed the shouts around the HSBC Arena pavilion, cutting the brand-new owner of the Buffalo Sabres off in mid-sentence.


     


    "He's going to lose on purpose! He's going to lose on purpose!"


     


    "The worst team in hockey two years in a row!"


     


    As every head spun around and Terry Pegula's mouth fell open, Mike Gilbert whispered into his sleeve, "Take him down" while at the same time he mentally cursed the decision to accept the lowest bid on arena security.


     


    "Darcy, he'll be a Coyote, he'll be a Coyote! And the Sabres fans will be cheering for them, against the Sabres. They'll be cheering for the Coyotes! Against the Sabres! In this building!"


     


    "And Darcy will be a Coyote!"


     


    "A Coyote! Ahhhhh ooooooooooo! Ahhhhhhh ooooooo!" howled the intruder, clad in a camo jacket, "Miller Saves But Jesus Scores on the Rebound From Center Point Through a Screen" t-shirt and filthy black knit cap.


     


    "Tell them, Harrington. Tell them how wrong it is! Miiiiikkeeeee!"


     


    "Ryan Vinz will suit up! Watch him. Someone watch him. Watch his equipment. It'll be in his office! Battista will tell him. Battista!"


     


    "Ahhhhh oooooooo!"


     


    As Mike and Nacho, security thugs, closed in, the bedraggled man got in as much as he could.


     


    "And there'll be a sweater with blue on the front and gold on the backkkkkkkkk" he shouted as batons and fists came raining down on him.


     


    "Worlds will collide! Worlds will collide! Nolan, LaFontaine, they're all in on it!"


     


    "Pegula's the devil. There will be a trial! There will be a..." His words would become muffled as they tried to make his face a permanent part of the cold, hard concourse floor.


     


    Hauntingly, one more sentence escaped into the air. "They're going to murder the Buffalo Sabres. Ahhh ooooo!"


     


    With that, the poor bastard was choked out and dragged unconscious onto Perry St., never to be seen again.


     


    "Gee whiz, seems one of my fellow Keystone Staters dropped in to say hi," said Pegula to laughs and a standing ovation.


     


    Furiously taking notes, Harrington did not stand.

  2. Why? Because of a grrl thang?

    A grrl I know does not love the name either. But as an Islanders fan she hates the Riveters' colors, initials and logo — all borrowed heavily from the Rangers — so she might by default have to be a Beaut fan.

     

    The Beaut logo is a subtle, more abstract buffalo than we're used to seeing. I kind of like it.

    Why does the Pride logo feature Hershey skid marks?

  3. Yep, we're here.  Now let's take care of the business at hand and be done with it.

    Done with it? Yeah, until we wake up for many years drenched in sweat, little devil faces coming toward us, then retreating, coming back, feeling like fire ants are on our ballsacks. A price has to be paid for this, even if it's living with, "You tanked for McDavid. Nice Cup, douchenozzles." That is, the same treatment most of us give the Pens.

  4. This is all Terry Pegula had to say when addressing Koelmel in a fairly far-ranging interview with Carruci:

     

    On John Koelmel leaving HarborCenter: “John has moved on. He did a great job at getting the HarborCenter thing going.”

     

    Whatever, I guess. It just doesn't sound like a truly amicable parting.

    See, reading-into is fun, innit?

    *This* close to a confession! Maybe HBO can mic Terry up and hope he takes a confessional leak.

     

     

    • On Kim Pegula’s role – “If you divide it between the actual sports side and the business side, she’s working closely with (Sabres President) Ted Black and Russ Brandon on the business side, and I haven’t been as involved on that side of it. That’s what she likes to do; she’s good at it. So I actually stay over on the sports side, the actual makeup of the teams and working with how we’re going to build the team, the coaching staff. I talk to Doug every day.”
