  1. You called him limp wristed in another post. People get touchy on this board. I made an aids joke about Crosby and it turned into a homophobic complaint fest. Stick to jokes about eating babies and raping Canes fans. For whatever reason that's a non-pc comment that's completely acceptable.

    What day is Homophobic Complain Day?

     

    I'm not all that PC, I just thought it was strange to go from editing someone's post to have him stroking Luongo's hair to delicate and then limp-wristed. Kind of a weird vein if you ask me.

  2. Yeah, my head almost exploded when I heard this much was given up.  Once I came off the ledge, I could see what Murray is doing (by overhauling the style of play), but just don't agree with how he is going about it.  I get aggravated when I hear that Kane is a "legit 1st liner", "an elite player", "a 30 goal scorer", etc (which have all been said either here or other comment sections) as if these are all givens that should taken at face value.  Outside of his impressive 30 goal campaign 3 years ago, Kane is none of that currently.  "30 goal scorer" implies he's been rattling off 30 goals season after season, when its much more like 15-19 goals.  In addition, he wasn't even a first liner on his own team.  And we aren't talking about the Blackhawks here, its the freakin Jets.  And a guy who scores 30 once is elite?!!!!  Wow, how times have changed. 

    The word "elite" was murdered a few years ago on this board.

  3. I haven't read the article yet. But to be fair, Kane was getting third line duty in the peg. I believe that situation was likely more toxic than any of will ever know.

     

    I sure miss Jim Kelley also and could imagine the fun he would be having today? One of the best ever.

    Don't bring excellent reading comprehension here. That's no fun. Use selective bold formatting more. You'll get the hang of it.

  4. From their interviews you get the distinct feeling that Tim Murray and Ted Nolan do not have a very collaborative relationship right now. Comments like "I'm not the coach" when asked about playing time, COHO, etc., from Murray, and comments like "well I'm just the coach, not management" basically tells you all you need to know. They do not agree with what the other is doing and are not in "lockstep" to borrow an overused phrase from the Bills' management. I like Nolan a ton as a person but I don't see any way he stays after the season ends and it may be the best thing for the organization. I think he is aware of this right now and I'm glad that he does not seem bitter about it. 

    Also, "hopefully I will get to know" Kane.

    I was told Lafontaine wanted to be in charge of the GM, as in he had final say on trades and drafts and signings. It sounded like Murray would be GM in name more than in principle with Lafontaine pulling the strings.  Pegula said no and that was that. 

     

    Not sure what really happened.

    OK, why would the role not be defined when Terry hired Pat? How could Pat be surprised he didn't wield any real power? Same question for Murray. Why would he take the job if he was going to be GM in name only?

  5. Did you by chance listen to Murray yesterday? Your meddling theory got blown to holy hell. Murray said Pegula asked him some questions about the deal and said "do what you think is best."

    OK, so maybe he no longer meddles. That would be great news. He's probably too busy with the Bills. That doesn't mean he didn't meddle in the past.
