What would make them both more intelligent would be hiring a hockey person that knows a little something about running an N.H.L. franchise on the hockey side.

Sure I remember Ruff getting angry. As a fan you want to see the coach go to bat for the players. I can't say I ever saw any emotion out of Bylsma.

Two breakaway goals by Edmonton in a matter of minutes. 2-0 for the Oil. Apparently both teams have decided not to play defence

lol. Sorry :blush:

the opposite of departure

Terry has only himself to blame. I guess he's taking charge of that now but if he's unhappy with the results the buck stops with him.

Agreed. Games have been great.

We'll get to see Eichel in a system not coached by Bylsma so yeah, I'll be watching.

Easier for TP to browbeat and micromanage

So a typical sociopath then ? :P

Please do not get on the wrong side of Kimmy Pegula. Thats the guaranteed road to ruin for any G.M. that works in Buffalo.

Imo you need players and people who are a little rough around the edges to succeed in this quest for a cup. That much is obvious in looking back at the teams that have won it. Terrence is talking about an entirely different type of character. He wants lily white. He wants church on sunday types. What he'll get is vanilla when what you need to win the cup is rocky road. Its clear that Terrence doesn't understand the dynamic needed for success at this thing called hockey.

The marlies have been better than the Americans for a very long time. Pre tank era for both teams the Marlies were better. The leafs/Marlies are a better run org. That much is obvious. But the tank can not be judged yet. This past season the Sabres were expected to challenge for a playoff spot. They took a step back. Now with Terrence P trying his best to burn it down again we may step waaaaaay back. Thats not on the tank. Thats on a clueless owner.

That pretty well sums it up. Brainless. This very well could be looked back on as the second time Terrence drove this franchise into the ground. Man does not have a clue. Hire someone to handle the hockey side.

that high stick didn't hit him cause he stopped it with his glove then thru his head back. What a crapload of ###### officiating. mmmm. Maybe it did hit him ?

Even the leaf biased Canadian commentators called that one. They were questioning why the play was called dead.

Not sure I trust anything Tpegs and the little wifey do with the Sabres org. anymore. It is their toy blah blah blah but they are really only placeholders and the team belongs to the fans who invest emotionally and financially. Without the fans this team does not exist. That being said I really wish Terry would stay out of the way. Do what 90% of the other owners do and hire a president of hockey operations to oversee the running of the team. Micromanaging will drive potential employees away. The disfunction it creates will drive away players and fans.

Beginning to think that the reporters just throw shite out there and site sources

They haven't talked to Lombardi.

Terry Pegula

Yeah well its been their modus operandi.

We all know they'll hire a coach first. Perhaps the interview yesterday was to see what lombardi thinks of Ruff ? Ruff wouldn't be my first choice but whatever.

I thought at the time it was intentional as well. The tale of the tape. I thought it was a dick move by wideman in the heat of the moment.

We'll get old school if thats the case. Old boys network. Who's currently out of work and a dinosaur from bygone days ? I have absolutely no faith TP will make the right choice.

That makes sense when you think of those cryptic words from the GM formerly known as Tim Murray. " He's the coach today. I'm the G.M. today."
