Me too. And also his Pop Shoppe commercials.

I always thought is was a great hockey song (especially for aspiring NHL players playing in the AHL).

Hey, it's Terry's team and he can do what he wants. But the fans were told money wouldn't be a problem. If hiring Dudley gets the Sabres into the playoffs, he will pay for his salary and much, much more. It's either a control problem, ego, or embarrassment that they weren't patient after letting JBOT go and taking the time to make a serious GM search that's holding them back from hiring a 40 year experienced hockey front office executive. The only other reason is incompetence. Dudley's not "a fit" argument doesn't work. How have the "fits" worked out over the last 9 years??

Why bring in an experienced hockey front office professional with 40 years of experience when you can hire a cheaper GM with no front office experience? Pegulas, SMH. Ego, ego, ego. We need more of this:

I guess that, I'll just drill another well" comment is haunting the Pegulas now.

If I ever come to visit, I will be SURE to call first! ?

I'm watching a lot more music videos on youtube. And I've made a concerted effort to watch less news that's forced on me by TV. If I want current news, I now search the web and get a 360 degree view of all news sources (noting their inherent biases) and draw my own conclusions.

If there's no spot for him in the front office, sign him to play 4th line LW. He's 71, but he still scares the crap out of me. There would be no liberties taken on our young'uns without ramifications. Seriously, the best executives try to hire people smarter and more experienced than they are. Dudley has 40 years of front office experience. If I were Terry and Kim, I'd flip the keys to the KBC to Dudley and say, "Have at it, Duds, we'll be in West Palm Beach."

If the Pegulas had been patient, they could have hired Dudley off the street as GM. Instead, they hired an inexperienced Adams because they like him. My god, it's a miracle they got rich.

I'd name him Schoeny because he looks like he could be a great protector (and has reddish hair). Or maybe Ruff, that's a good dog name and a sneaky way to get the Sabres in there.

Yep. I retired as the CEO of a 1,000 employee organization. I would not be so arrogant to think I could run 2 large organizations at the same time. What qualifies Kim to run 1, let alone 2 at the same time? As you stated, the Pegulas are the problem. Money shouldn't imply intelligence or business acumen.

Here's a random thought. Kim Pegula can be the President of West Palm Beach and Rick Dudley can be President of Hockey Operations. Oh, wait, that will never work. What was I thinking?

Maybe we need to set up a GofFundMe page if the Pegulas are too cheap to hire him. "Drill another well", my ass.

Why has he not been hired yet????? He's a great talent evaluator, he brings grit, passion, hard work, dedication, history, and a mean streak. All the things we are missing. Oh and by the way, he lives in Lewiston.

I wouldn't touch a thing. Guys our age with hair like that are duty bound to show it off. Grow, baby, grow!

Check out Duds at 1:06 of the video. Now that's the passion I want to see from the Sabres. He was one of my all-time favorites. He embodied Buffalo. I can almost hear Duds saying to the refs. "The fight's over when I say it's over."

At this point, to get Dudley, I'm willing to drill another well. Does anyone think Dudley would put up with this crap we've seen for 9 years? It would make for interesting good cop/bad cop situation. Kreuger: "Jeff, we may need you to score a little more often if that's not too much of a burden." Dudley; "Skinner, score here or in Rochester, or Cincinnati for that matter.. I don't give a rats ass" And by the way, I have never met Rick Dudley, but even at 71 years old, he scares the bejesus out of me.

Brian "Duds" Spencer. I got your back Doohickie. It's how us Buffalonians roll.

Are marsblades significantly better than basic rollerblades. The advertisements look great.

FFS Pegulas. The fracking industry dropped into your laps and made you billionaires. Now Dudley drops into your laps, FFS hire him. Who else knows more about hockey operations than Dudley? This is a no brainer, and if he doesn't get hired, I will be CONVINCED the Pegulas don't know what they are doing and the suffering will continue.

My wife and I went out on our covered balcony at 3am with a glass of wine to watch a thunderstorm roll through. It was great and validated why I retired as early as I could. I'm really starting to appreciate the simpler things in life.

I think I look like this. My wife thinks I look like this

I'm going all in until they open up the hair cutters. The whole Bob Seger thing is intriguing. My wife, however, is practicing her eye roll daily.

Haven't had a haircut in over 4 months. I'm starting to look like Jesus H. Christ on a Popsicle stick (Fletch reference).
