The internet has changed a lot of things. This trade gets attention, clicks, chatter. It's elevated in importance bc we all have hammers and there's a nail. Yeah that's right inky. Back in the day of a daily paper, couple of radio stations and 2-4-7, this would have been nothing more than filler.

Listen kids. Santa can't bring much this year. The motor went out in dad's yacht.

At the LaFontain presser, to the question of how Terry thought having a president of hockey ops was going to work, he made his remark about how there would be no hockey emperors at the Sabres and how there's no monopoly on hockey IQ. There's your answer. Flat management structure. Terry cannot be superceded. He has been and is the de factor DOHO. Hence Terry telling Darcy to redo his plan, the hiring of up and comer first timers, newbies and yes men who owe the owner. Terry Murray saw it when few fans did. Until this team is sold, we are screwed with our hockey pants on.

Anywho it was fun and cathartic. Refreshing after the gruel we are force fed by Duff, Lysowski et al.

He was the first to report that a certain former prez utilizes the foot wedge and gives himself 17 foot putts. And he nailed it when the former SI writer Rick (name hidden due to poster senility) came out with a book.

No it would not.

I've had weird, conflicted feelings about the other team scoring on the Sabres (I can't even say a conflicted feeling about the other team actually beating the Sabres, but I remember that icky feeling when the tank came to a head in an infamous home game). But I'll say this. If a bad loss to tonight means a housecleaning, I'd take it, then a shower, and run. I know... Terry picks the new guy/s.

Rumblings? Any details? From your lips to God's ear.

All but Adams? Ooooook.

You lived in Detroit? Who knew.

Terry has had a lot to do with it. This podcast even claims it was Terry who overruled Botterill on the Skinner contract. You are ignoring empirical evidence. Even if he didn't direct specific player signings (he admitted to at least one on the radio, FCS), he has consistently put his thumb on the scale re: how to build the team. Spending spree under Darcy (he criticized the plan Darcy came up with), extreme rebuild/tank late under Darcy (Darcy said TP would determine the extent of the rebuild), E3 during the pandemic. There's a reason TM said right after he was hired that his uncle had warned him... Remember, everyone has a boss. He's there precisely because he is a Yes man, and JB wasn't. And, my dear friend, are you really going to defend KA without knowing what he was doing before getting a GM job in the N H Fing L?! Grown with the team? Hoo boy.

Use the Linktree links site. This is great stuff.

You might even be picking up on the league's marketing strategy. Eyeballs on everything except the game. Giant video boards, gambling, social media, arenas with open areas where fans can mingle and eat and drink, broadcasts where the game isn't called (St. Louis jumped the shark and I don't care who died).

Mike's stadium cost angle is weird. It's a couple million bucks. If anything for Terry it's the idea of doing it AGAIN, or the notion he started off with as owner... Citing stability in the Steelers org... "Panic doesn't seem to be working."

Dan takes the accent literally and says Ro ZAY en. I've also heard Roseanne. Wonder if he's Americanized the pronunciation just to simplify things.

My apologies for doubting. He's certainly earning it.

That would seem high. Edit: Sources say just under 2.

Rod sees meddling TP as owner and rink manager Adams as GM. Why would he touch this situation with a 10 foot pole? It would have to take Pegula signing a restraining order and an agreement Rod can hire his GM.

I've often wondered what the league office and other owners think of the calamity in Buffalo? Maybe things are proceeding apace. The team could move any day now and who would care? Sometimes I think I smell a rat. Why did he buy the team again?

You think the team culture is close based on what? Fluff videos?

Can we get that ice littered with two foot burritos or whatever they are?

Zamboni: So what, now?
