He didn't stay long. I don't think he felt he was afforded the appropriate level of respect.

How could a source know this?

It could be a nice spot to walk into. Someone else has done the dirty work. Add to the mix some roster control and an idea that Terry is willing to spend and agree to stay out of it. Great franchise tradition, fan base willing to come back with a vengeance, as close to a Canadian team as you can get etc.

The coaching tree angle is intriguing. It's the one kind of first timer that they could sell to the fans. Hey, this guy trained under a Cup winner and is in the next generation of great coaches.

Did anyone think DG would be here for Cup runs? He served his purpose. Adams might even be relieved they didn't sneak into the playoffs.

As an understanding before taking the job, yes.

They need to sell the fans on someone. It can't be a rookie coach. Not even Peca. It just can't be. If it's Ruff, it's a very good sign. I never thought he was fired but instead wanted out when he saw the tanking handwriting on the wall. For him to return it would mean 1. He has been assured Terry is committed to winning (read: spending) and 2. He will be given some control over the roster. Win-win. Then win.

Because each season is a chemistry experiment. You put different chemicals in the beaker and agitate. UPL of this season next season... Some good additions... The Tage of old... especially a new coach. The beaker could blow (if an explosion is what we're looking for). I feel you, but we've all come this far. Don't go wobbly on us. This is a good day. Also the goddamned second sunny day in a row! Where were you last Monday?

Of course. Maybe I had a brain fart, but isn't there precedent for GMs hiring assistants?

No we can't. We don't know him personally. Maybe some do, I dunno.

It's odd, innit? Leave it up to the next coach? Certainly Adams wouldn't saddle the next guy. But who picks assistants?

Good. I thought the video coach was actually pretty good. He's the review guy no? Interesting list tho. Please don't tell me...

Is there such a thing as honor? Would DG look in the mirror and say, "Donnie, this isn't your wheelhouse" and resign? He could leave with his head held reasonably high.

Adanato is growing on me. It might trigger Woody tho. He's had to tell many patients they have infected adanatos.

So you're saying there's a chance you know you like me?

Vanek face.

Good question. The creepees are also always wearing Sabres gear.

Nobody does the creeper video of the woman/little kid at a concession stand like the Buffalo Sabres. Always shot from behind and always ends with the creepee finally seeing the camera and acting with surprise.

Sabres looking to add to their (lead). Thanks Dan. I bet Tampa will be pushing to tie it.

She stole it from Doooogie.

If they survive are they officially Granadams?

I mean that's all Lorenzo has to do, but release it at Canalside, and we start winning Cups.

Really? That's cool.

Minus the Reynolds Cup.

I'll miss this.
