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.

OK, I'm on urbandictionary.com right now.

The old saying, Ain't Momma happy, ain't nobody happy comes to mind. Until the Sabres end the drought, ain't nobody happy. Ain't nothin' gonna change. Why another Pegula owned team wouldn't take the same approach his football team took... owning its drought... is beyond me. There's still time for the Sabres to openly make it Mission One. (Of course there's more than just talking about it. No one should want Adams to mortgage the future to make one playoff appearance, but he has lots of room to move on the spectrum of GM moves.) As for talk, they missed an opportunity to set the tone off the opening faceoff of the offseason. In Staal's statement, certainly written by some staffer but OKed by KA I would think, the new assistant wrote, "Throughout my career I was fortunate to be on so many successful teams and I hope I can lean on some of those experiences to help the organization moving forward." How bland. Help? Moving forward? As opposed to backward? Why not: Throughout my career I was fortunate to be on so many successful teams and I hope I can lean on some of those experiences to make the Sabres a similarly successful team and not only end the playoff drought here but do what we did in Carolina: win a Stanley Cup."

Sorry if asked and answered but what will Eric do?

But you love jokes about palms. Just add some wood and you'll be like the rest of us schmucks.

It won't bother this owner. Clearly Eric is a "fine" "young" "man".
