I might be interested in camping at ASP with Bowen before the moving truck gets there.

And yet some folks say Terry has just been unlucky.

Punch, don't forget the mystery man who accompanied LaLa to Ot-wa Ot-wa Ot-wa (RIP Art; I'm assuming he's gone toes up) to interview Murray: Battista! Coffee... ask for it by name.

Half assed reminded me of something Terry said on Day One. He said he didn't care if the Sabres changed gear out there in the lobby. But a new lockerroom did come to pass so that Kim could have her first major project. He truly doesn't care about making the Sabres NHL class at the very least. The Olean boys changed on the bus donchaknow.

It's just not how professional sports works or is supposed to work. That one fan has been convinced otherwise is good on ya, Terry. (But there are more.)

Former poster Yuri is working on it.

Gotta be a former Sabre eh?

You should see the conventions. Wild stuff. Has the D word passed the lips of KA or the owner or the captain?

I'm a senior. I have been advising the franchise for 50 years. Where do I apply?

Shockingly, tho, on Day One the owner said part of the problem with the team was "in this room." The room being the Buffalo News editorial board meeting room. I was already figuring out the guy was a numnut.

... the whole world scolds with yoouuu ?

Yes, all is well in SabreLand. Quiet, you rabble rousers. Lance is pro Sabres to the point of being on the payroll. Ending up covering the Bills was probably his aim. Well done.

Sabres lose 6-3 but score three in the third. Lance: coach that period really shows what this team can do if they play the system, no?

Classic Lance. No one outside the employ of the Sabres has carried more water for the franchise.

The beer's good, Punch, but where's the C? Dodo even got you new readers at Rexall*. *Stoner didn't, but PA does his research.

There's PTR's answer.

Breaking news: they're out of the basement.

Wrong sitcom. I can't believe I found this from Feb. 4, 2011. To the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song: "Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Peg A poor Scrantoneer, to start a business had to beg And then one day he was frackin' at the earth And up through the dirt come a gaseous burp Natural gas, that is -- rock wind, pay dirt! Well the first thing you know Old Peg's a billionaire The kinfolk said, Peg move away from there Said New York State is the place you wanna go So they loaded up the minivan and moved to Buffalo Clarence, that is Swimmin' pools... hockey players The Buffalo Hillbillies!"

Alternative theory: Terry grew up poor and ended up wildly successful (financially at least) without throwing money at the problem of poverty. He just worked hard. And waited. And waited. It was time and pressure in the Shawshankian tradition, that got him to the other end of the sewage pipe and eventually to a boat in Mexico. Terry started off talking about how he never fired anyone at East Resources (or was it no one ever left?) and how his role model owner was Art Rooney, who decided after years of losing and replacing people that "panic isn't working." Terry also stood at some interview early on, maybe on Day One, and said something like, "I don't get too high or too low." I remember him tilting his hand back and forth as he said it (what I had for dinner last night? no clue). Terry also famously said only one team wins a Cup every year. Where is all that leading? Maybe Terry circa 2020 just decided to get back to his foundational beliefs. This'll take time and not necessarily money (going back to his business roots), I'm not going to keep firing people (and paying people to not work for me), let's plan the work and work the plan, etc. All of the preceding might be classic PASabrefanian hogwash, but I want to believe it moreso than Terry has quit on the Sabres. I might even have to believe it. I mean, if he's quit, that's really, you know, not good.

Yeah but I learned you can use the concave chest of a trucker in Frankfort as a urinal. The Kentucky Pisspot.
