  1. Not at all. Feel free to bring up your faith all you want. It's a free country, at least for now. The "shot across the bow," as you put it, was the observation that Terry Pegula brings up the faith of the last few coaching hires. It begged the question if religious belief plays a role in the Pegulas decision process. That's a fair question because the quotes are out there. The same observation would be made if the Pegulas cited a hire's physique, eye color, taste in clothing, or any attribute that seemed to land outside of what is considered part of coaching a team. You and others took that to DEFCON 2 calling it an attack on your faith. I would suggest some reflection on the victim mentality you say you don't possess.
  2. I visited the website of Open Door USA, the authors of that study you cite in the link. That group only presents persecution against Christians.
  3. But you're cool with Terry, even though the same is true of him? Gotcha. By the way, how do you know what experience Kim has or doesn't have?
  4. I respect yours and everyone's right to practice their religious beliefs but I also feel the victim mentality shown by some Christians is disingenuous.
  5. It's still a good thought exercise. If you have a negative reaction you should honestly ask yourself why?
  6. Just say no to Schoney
  7. And yet your comment was directed at Kim, not Terry. And why is the story of how they met germane to this issue unless you are trying to suggest something tawdry about Kim?
  8. I wonder how folks would feel if TP said about his coach "he's a fine man who keeps the Sabbath" or "he's made the Hajj pilgrimage?"
  9. 1) She did not meet with people separately. Terry & Kim met each separately. (I misunderstood Terry's statement, which is why you believe this to be the case. It's not. 2) Why do you hate Kim being involved? Because she's a woman? She has as much experience running a sports franchise as her husband. But I suppose male reproductive organs make one smarter.
  10. "Terry, meet Dan. I'm hiring him to be coach." "Welcome to the organization, Dan." (Example of indictable level of ownership meddling to PA.)
  11. To which I ask what are your options if you are Terry Pegula. Let things roll because it's only been two seasons (three for Murray) or blow it up because you don't see how it's getting better? He did the painful but correct thing here. He'll take his lumps from the all-wise experts but he did the right thing.
  12. Already working on that television career figuring Buffalo is done. Beg to differ. Goalie was struck while in the crease. That's interference. What is debatable is whether the goal was a result of the collision. That could have been called the other way since so many more puck contacts occurred between the collision and the puck going in.
  13. Eh, could have been called either way. But glad it was upheld. Hope Ottawa wins and I can see bitter tears in New England. Their teams always get screwed over, you know.
  14. Goalie interference on Bruins in OT? Under review. Upheld.
  15. Was George Seifert with them? (Sorry, an old TBD meme)
  16. It's just an observation. He has mentioned religion when introducing Bylsma and McDermott. Not knocking him for that. Just pointing out that it's a quality that matters to him.
  17. Makes for a better story. They said the same thing about Sidney Crosby and Bylsma in Pittsburgh. How'd that work out? I do. You are free not to.
  18. No, it's just an observation that McD and Bylsma were very devout religious people, as the Pegulas are. And it's fair to ask if being religious tips the scale in Terry's mind.
  19. Wow. I do have a comprehension problem.
  20. Questions not asked that I would have. "Did you have any discussions with players?" "Explain why you and your wife spoke to Tim Murray separately? How does Kim's input go into the decision process?" "Months back the Sabres organization surveyed season ticket holders and among the questions asked was how likely are you to renew. Did those answers stem, even in a small way, the decision to make a change?"
  21. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/terry-pegula-press-conference/t-277437090/c-40474303 Well it was there.
