A poll wouldn't be a bad idea.
That's wh... never mind, too easy.

Looking at the whole vibe of that franchise, they could have one more good tank in them before things pick up in Brooklyn. Inexplicably, Capuano is still the coach and Snow is still the GM. Wang is looking to sell, but everything seems to be status quo for the last season in the Coliseum. Losing is just entrenched there. They annually go into a November funk that's something to behold.

Most violent moment of his life...
Darcy: Almost — almost! — stuck his finger in the video replay official's chest in Philly after No Goal II
Murray: Shot a man in Chicoutimi, just to watch him die
Advantage: Uhhhh, Murray

One success story, although seemingly not exactly what Rick has:
-
I was told this morning that I was "turned on" by the announcement that Rick has cancer. I reported the post. It's still there.
Would any of the moderators care to explain why it wasn't worthy of deletion?

that's it. we're getting the band back together. and the band has a new name.
Only if Kevin James is the drummer.

I've always viewed the LaFontaine trade as a good trade, but not a great trade. Fun fact. LaFontaine scored 385 points as a Sabre, and 447 total NHL points, after the trade to Buffalo. Turgeon scored 1,004 NHL Points after the trade to the NYI.
LaFontaine is iconic. He was expensive.
Oops, just saw PA's comment. Same sentiment.
Yes. I also think there was an intangible quality to the trade for Buffalo. The franchise was in doldrums that wouldn't be seen again until The Core, and LaFontaine was exactly what was needed. The Knoxes were trying to get a new arena built, and suddenly the Sabres were back on the map.

Eleven mentioned it in one of these threads, so there's at least two of us! And since he's actively vying for the title of Internet king, I figure he counts as the board :P
Oh, so Eleven is the one stirring this up? Not a surprise!
I've never questioned Pegula's financial commitment. Anyway, would today be the day for recrimina-she-owns against Pegula's critics? Did he win something yesterday?
Actually, if any posters should be hung in effigy, it's those who didn't want Tim Murray (or a Tim Murray) on day one of Pegula's ownership.

Let's say fortune smiles on us and the Islanders finish last and/or win the lottery and McDavid/Eichel turn into everything they're hyped to be. Does this go down as the greatest trade in franchise history? It has to be top-3 (Hasek,LaFontaine), right?
Turgeon scored over 500 goals and had a long, fantastic career. That was a pretty even hockey trade. Some of Darcy's heists in the early days of his tenure — Wilson for Warrener and a pick that turned into Miller; Grosek for Gilmour and Dumont — would rank ahead of OohLaLa4LaLa.

After puking my guts out, flat on my back, I' m not going to tolerate looking at poor choices in window treatments and crown moldings.
I usually only laugh at my own posts, but that got me chuckling.

The board is still eagerly awaiting you admitting to being wrong about Pegula's spending and financial commitment to the team.
Wrong about how Terry spent during the summer of 2011? What are you driving at?
-
So what you're saying is Pegula meddled, right? ;)
Weak, weak sauce.

Last year was the worst I have ever endured not only as a season ticket holder but as a fan. The whirlwind of the last week while likely not putting us in the playoffs this season guarantees we will be getting something in exchange for our money. This team will not be a pushover or unable to ice a legitimate NHL team. We didn't do that many times last year and it was embarrassing and difficult to endure.
And some of these kids could say there is no tank and be great this year. I'm not expecting that but it could happen. Regardless, the future looks like a hot damn good time to be a season ticket holder.
Here's the thing though. The Sabres were only blown out a few times all of last season. I guess that fact can be interpreted in a number of ways. My take is it's tough to tank, and the Sabres might be just enough better next season to screw their chances of getting McDavid. (Full disclosure: I thought the Sabres would be a bubble playoff team last season!)

I love this guy more and more with every press conference.
That's great, for now. Will we love this guy more and more with every season?
-
Sylvester is awful(the stupid non-stop laugh), and Peters is just embarrassing. The loyalty to these two clowns by Ted Black is mind boggling.
I don't think it's about talent or serving the fans for Ted. See Dunleavy, Dan.
-
who gives a ###### about his contract right now. He will call whatever number of games he wishes to for as long as he can get in front of his microphone.
Kick cancer's ass RJ!
smh. Let's substitute the word "future" for "contract." (On the other hand, he won't "call whatever number of games he wishes to," unless that contract is revised. He's done the season after next.)
-
Might as well be optimistic. When Rick full recovers, what does it mean for his contract? It's pretty tough right now to imagine that he'll do all scheduled games this season — or even any. Would they extend his contract one more year to make up for lost time?
-
The roller coaster of fandom. Sigh...

I don't know, but it will be a great day to obsessageboard. I can't refresh one more page. I'm out like trout.

The most interesting general manager in the world?
-
Ryan looked subdued in his Canuck presser.
Makes sense from the family perspective, but I'm not sure if this is where he saw himself a few months ago.
He would look subdued on a Jet Ski.

I think after the day GMTM has had today it almost has to be Darcy. A reminder of what lurks in the shadows.
Nah. Look at the remarkable end result of Vanek for Moulson, and it's still about half Darcy's doing and half Tim's. I wanted Darcy out like everyone else, but Darcy's handprints are still on this team — Murray even acknowledged as much yesterday.
OK, lurks in the shadows. Maybe we're saying the same thing.

We can officially burn the piece of paper that has the phrase "I'm waiting for the market to set itself".
Also out: "I like our team."
