  1. No way? Is that true?
  2. Any news?
  3. Oh beautiful!! Nice shot Jack, beautiful work, pass Cozens
  4. The point is about accountability and the Sabres fly under the radar and are not really held accountable. Do you disagree with that? Yes, other cities have NFL teams, and maybe those teams cities would react exactly the same way Buffalo is towards TP, but I doubt it, Maybe a rustbelt city like Detroit or Pittsburg would, but if Terry owned the Rangers and they were this bad I can't imagine a crap storm would not ensue. Here we just get ready for the draft. We are a one newspaper town and the Sabre media just seems owned and operated by TP inc. There is little to no accountability demanded from the media
  5. I really don't think TP cares much about money anymore. The guy is 100% asleep at the wheel. A pro-active approach would be better. There needs to be pressure put on them from fans, and whoever else cares about the team. Lets face it, an intervention is long overdo but nothing at all seems to be going on. Fans should go but wearing those bags over their heads, stuff like that.
  6. Totally agree that the city supports a winner but while we support winners, we don't seem really good at pushing losers to get better. Jerry Sullivan does kind of have a point about our media being soft, and not really holding the organizations to account. Heck, the media really seems complicit with the team, as if they are the same team. The Bills are different on this point. The NFL's media reach is so much larger and they can put pressure on the organization to do better, the Sabres really don't have that. The media coverage of Sabres is more chummy, more friendly. And with missing the playoffs they simply avoid more media spotlights. When Mogilney made that quote that are a "one newspaper town" I think he was on to something. I'm not blaming the people of Buffalo, I'm just arguing our situation doesn't really empower fans to push for more accountability
  7. No disagreeing that Terry is terrible, but this city has put up with him and his do nothingness with the Sabres. When Mogilney left town I remember him saying he didn't like living in a one newspaper town, or something. And really, does this media hold the Sabres accountable? I'd say no. In fact, I'd argue the media is part of the problem. It's like an embedded reporter with the military during war, generally positive reporting. They just want news, good or bad, they don't care. I mean, just look at our broadcast team! Nothing says you don't care more than that!
  8. Nope. I just wonder if we are missing the larger point. It's not the organization that's the problem, its the city. The Sabres are a second rate franchise in their own town. The Bills are the real draw and the Sabres for most people don't even begin getting people's paying attention until after Bills season is over. Buffalo really IS NOT a great hockey town.
  9. Well, we sure are finding creative ways to lose games, that's for sure.
  10. Who better to end this streak against? Go Sabres! Moscow Winter!
