    This would hold water if Murray himself didn't already admit he himself contributed to the communication issues with Nolan. GO SABRES!!!

    Why did LaFontaine leave? Again? Really? OK. He was fired. Most likely because he had one temper tantrum too many. Pegula was classy enough to give him a graceful way out. The bigger question is, why is Murray still here? One would think a man of his seemingly limited patience would have had enough of Battista telling him what to do and breathing down his neck every other minute. GO SABRES!!!

    Five. There were five people in the room. Can't forget Battista. GO SABRES!!!

    I never say a man missed his calling, only that it's time to answer it. X, your time has come. Looking forward to the next chapter. GO SABRES!!!

    Honestly, Ghost, I am just not interested in Joe Battista outside of his task of growing Harbor Center as a hockey destination here as well as growing hockey around the country. As for what I believe in, that is a multi-layered philosophical discussion not conducive to this forum. Let's just say I agree with Crash Davis for starters. GO SABRES!!!

    At the risk of again getting "DUDED!", knowing who Battista was 18 months ago couldn't be more irrelevant to what Murray is tasked with. GO SABRES!!!

    No doubt, but CU serves as an insurmountable barrier between what's needed most for viable alternative candidates; publicly funded elections.

    Not doubting cronyism at all. It's not unusual for uber successful people to surround themselves with people they have a certain comfort level with. I doubt that Battista has any say in what Murray and his department are tasked with, what processes Murray's department create and follow, and what personnel Murray chooses for his team. He reports directly to Pegula and that in itself should serve to remove any doubts about Battista's involvement along those lines. At least for reasonable people. GO SABRES!!!

    There is only one way to make third or more parties viable IMO, and that is to overturn Citizens United and make elections publicly funded. A return to the Fairness Doctrine would also help the process. But good luck with that.

    I saw few of those at games. And I appreciated the better context, too. GO SABRES!!!

    So now a digression from and a contradiction to an earlier point made in an opinion piece written by a journalist with an axe to grind passes for a "media" report? The total disregard for every other ACTUAL media reports since yesterday in order to support the narrative by both Harrington and the click-hungry crowd here is both lazy and intellectually dishonest. At best. GO SABRES!!!

    Ah, the case of the missing bio. I remember it well. It came up missing right after the strawberries. Others thought it to be mere coincidence, but not me. No, not me. As soon as the bio also went missing, I knew I had them. GO SABRES!!!

    Yes, Pegula is simply interested in having cronies run his team. That's why he never bothered to hire PLF to find a qualified GM or attempt to make Babcock the highest paid coach in history. We now continue with our regularly scheduled narrative of misery. GO SABRES!!!

    1.) False. Murray kind of qualified that by saying "maybe I shouldn't say this but..." 2.) Disagree only because it is not a question of credibility. 3.) Trade it for a player, preferably as part of a package for O'Reilly. 4.) 100%, but maybe not by 2017. I think it will be sooner. 5.) Boston GO SABRES!!!

    Does Murray strike anyone as the type to tolerate superfluous layers of bureaucracy that interferes with his job? One would think that the fact he reports directly to Pegula would be enough to put that to rest. But there always has to be a bad guy. Always has to be a conspiracy. Always has to be a reason to be disappointed. I've decided not to let the tinfoil crowd ruin my enjoyment. I think, like the Sullsys and Harringtons of the world, their real motivation is to generate clicks and nothing more. To be contrarian just for contrarian's sake. Ultimately, it adds little. GO SABRES!!!

    Look folks, the simple fact is that ever since Pegula chastised the BN for being so negative four years ago, they have been frozen out. And the Sullys, Gleasons, and Harringtons continue to be insulted. "Chatter" my ass. GO SABRES!!! Great point. Classic case of a Harrington contradiction. GO SABRES!!!
  17. K-9
    ^Exactly. GO SABRES!!!

    Was just reading an article a about the press conference and Shanny said that their offer to Babcock never changed. So, Toronto's original offer was the same 10yr, $50m deal he agreed to yesterday. Right. Going to great lengths to fend off criticism that Babcock agreed to deal with Sabres and then shopped it to the Leafs, apparently. GO SABRES!!!
  19. K-9
    Permission? From whom I wonder. Ghost, maybe? GO SABRES!!!
  20. K-9
    I doubt the Toronto media wouldn't have questioned Babcock's character if the situation was reversed. GO SABRES!!!

    I'd kick the tires on Dineen. I know it's all about the talent to execute it, but I love how the Blackhawks play hockey and if he brought that kind of philosophy, I think our players would like it, too. GO SABRES!!!

    This is dog chow's finest hour!

    It's wrong if, even with a poor group of players, he convinced you he isn't a good coach at the NHL level. I submit he did just that in the eyes of Murray and others. Throw in their inability to communicate well with each other, makes a ton of sense for Murray to have fired him. GO SABRES!!!
  24. K-9
    Agree with your take entirely. Even if they get Strome, I won't be impressed. That kid is a ways away from being an NHL centerman at this point. He was downright exposed in the last couple rounds of the Otters' playoffs. GO SABRES!!!

    Look, PA, if saying you seem to have a narrative offended you, please accept my apology. But are you going to deny you have a propensity to look for and find villains in Sabreland? And why does there always have to be a bad guy, anyway? GO SABRES!!!
