Apparently we're not supposed to be upset with how the Sabres are run? My brother died in Roswell with a Sabres jersey draped over him, it was one of his favorite Earthly possessions. This $^&t matters to some people.

Heart.

He wasn't vacationing, he was DJ-ing for a 'possum meat BBQ contest.

I get paid to provide that service.

Ted Black has to be laughing to himself. Ted Black, for all of his faults, was doing a lot of things correctly.

It's indicative of a certain, dangerous organizational mindset. They cloister; they tune out the outside and think they are competent and ignore the warnings that barrage them constantly like the Sun's radiation. We hear it in the way the team and coaches talk, and now we see it in action administratively when they are at a critical moment in their existence.

I suggest a title change, because at this moment I suspect PSE is cruising around the internet looking for answers. The title needs to draw them in. I suggest something like "The Buffalo Sabres: On the Precipice of a Full Meltdown". And I'm going to share here the ONLY thing the Sabres have to pivot on at the moment: the fans empathize with, and have sympathy for, Jack Eichel. That's it. Use that, Sabres, to your advantage to help dig yourselves out of this massive hole.

Wait, you mean it's being reported PSE complained about the Duane stuff to WGR? The devil you say! Who would ever expect that to happen?

"Tune you guys out." Yeah, Jake, that'll give you your confidence.

These player interviews ought to be uncomfortable.

They need to hire Lindy. I'm tellin' ya.

Just heard Eichel yell, really loud, "F%&#!"

How about 20 as a d-guy? He hasn't done that.

They tried that. Apparently that's too toxic a situation for the Pegulas to suffer.

Of course, what would happen is that Terry says "e'nuff o 'dis", sells the team and they get moved out of the city.

Maybe White isn't, but someone has said something internally. The removal of a Tweet and the lack of directly referencing the call since it happened (not counting Parker's response directly afterward) indicates to me - who used to be in the biz, BTW, so I have an idea how this works from the inside - that they have been directed to ignore it. The fact that they posted that single call separated from that hour's audio indicates to me that, at the time, they thought the call was important. It's not often they post a single caller.

He posted that at, apparently, the exact same time I posted my observation. Because then it would be overt. If they take it down now, they remove any semblance of plausible deniability.

Curious that there's nothing from WGR 550, nothing from the Instigators, pretty much nothing from anyone with a money connection to the Sabres on this. I am surprised they're leaving the clip on the website.

It's a big deal in that Sabre fans on Twitter have picked it up and are running with it. #WeAreAllDuane Your cousin vocalized on the air what a lot of us feel...and he's right. The Sabres are actively trying to tamp it down. That's the big deal.
