I am really starting to like Murray. Just ruthless, no BS personality. "I'm not begging someone to be here, I want players that want to be here and coaches that want to be here" "I appreciate him hiring me but I can't make choice for him, everyone makes their own choices and this doesn't change anything" This dude is EXACTLY what we need as our GM...ruthless, calculating, "Your only as good as your last season" GM...

I don't think PLF has the makeup to be in the front office and have to make the tough decisions...its like he wants the job but only wants the good part not the bad part that comes with it...explains why it was reported that Pegula was furious at him for basically being MIA for 3 days and then bailing...not like he hasn't done this before

Yes, his job that he wanted was to hire the GM, let him know what they wanted to accomplish and then let him do his job, holding him accountable for what he did. Instead, PLF thinks he can avoid doing the day to day dirty work of the GM but still reap the benefits of all the personnel decisions...doesn't work that way...he didn't want the GM role, so that's on him

He didn't pull this 3 months ago.

Yeah pretty much my thought...if you wanted to be involved in personnel decisions then he should have been the GM. His role was to build the hockey department, set the outline for what they wanted to do, which was rebuild, and let his people do their job then give input at the end of the year or as needed regarding what they were doing....not immediately meddle with the guy you just hired

If you hire someone to do a job then either you let them do it or you become a meddler

How would he be a meddler by telling PLF, you hired TM to do his job so let him do it? If anything he told PLF to stop meddling

Didn't Paul Hamilton just say what he found out?

This looks like its more on PLF from what Hamilton is saying...also I like the contract extension for 3 years...hopefully Nolan takes it

I agree, PLF hired the man to do a job, not be a puppet. If he is going to succeed or fail it should be his way, not some his and some he doesn't agree with.

If Murray tried to get Miller to sign an extension and he refused, why let him go for nothing at the end of the year. Perhaps PLF thought they could get him to change his mind after talking with him but TM didn't and thought he was valuable to help rebuild by adding picks and more trade ammo. Miller brought some of this on himself by being so wishy washy about the whole thing, imho, at least in the media

TM seems like he would ransom a family member if he could get another first round pick thrown in...ruthless but those are the people that build great teams because they see the players as commodities and when their production starts declining they replace them...Patriots have been doing it for years, as did the Eagles

Maybe they can change his jersey name to "Lame-O"

Our new front office

Feels awesome for once to have an open checkbook like Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder to make whatever you want to happen, happen

I honestly have no complaints right now...

Especially considering Pegula is eating a lot of money unless there are buyout clauses in Regier and Rolstons contract...he obviously means it when he said money is no obstacle

Why? He was a damn good coach

Lol, their goal is to finish last for at least this year and possibly next year...why would they want a coach that is going to win games?

Playoffs with this team?? Playoffs? They are just trying to win a stinking game right now... Honestly, they will be lucky to avoid the Eastern Conference basement if they keep playing like this, forget talking about making the playoffs. Oh yeah, I forgot, this is a Ruff coached team. They will suck for 25 games then hav the best record in the NHL the last 23 only to miss the playoffs because of a few stupid losses like Sunday against the Panthers... They have no business playing this poorly, and frankly its embarrassing.

Nice way to start the season!

Either you have no idea what Mexican food is supposed to taste like or you have only been to one Mexican restaurant in the area because Grama Mora's is absolutely terrible. Bland, below average food with either no seasoning or improper seasoning, and the ultimate insult---Louisana hot sauce instead of real Mexican hot sauce like Cholula or El Yucateco. This place is a joke! My wife and I went there once because we heard lots of people talking about how good it was and I was embarrassed for the restaurant and the people that thought it was so good. Hands down, the best Mexican restaurant in the area was El Caporal and it wasn't even close for second place. Unfortunately that closed down due to immigration issues, but many of the workers are at La Tolteca now, which is probably the best Mexican restaurant right now...the parrallada is to die for...food tastes amazing. El Palenque on Niagara Falls Blvd is pretty good also, and the new Don Pedro's, which took over the building that used to house Cinco de Mayo, which I didn't care for very much at all(but was leaps and bounds ahead of Gramma Mora), has pretty good food as well. All of these places are "authentic" Mexican restaurants(as authentic as you can get in the US at least) and not imposters like Gramma Mora's. Either way, I cannot believe the amount of good pub Gramma Mora's gets with their food being so poor in comparison to a lot of the other Mexican restaurants in the area. You eat at La Tolteca once and you will never go back to Gramma Mora's ever again.

Once he lands in jail he is going to be getting beat down on a daily basis...if there is one thing those hardened criminals don't tolerate it's hurting kids...go kill a bunch of people, rob them, beat them, kidnap them, whatever. You hurt a kid, you are gonna wish you were dead after a few weeks...

Wow...that really sucks...I guess when its your time, its your time...

Horrible giveaway by Weber spoils an otherwise very good road game by Sabres. At least they pick up a point...
