I agree with everything you said above. But PA is apparently a much beloved senior member of the board, and thus gets a free pass no matter what nonsense he posts.

I just don't see a scenario where the guy will be happy. He doesn't like how they decided to turn their team around, and he feels the rest of the league will view a Sabres Cup win as tainted. Other than the Pegulas selling the team and the Sabres begging the NHL to punish them for their sins by taking away their first round picks, what other scenario would make it OK for the Sabres to succeed scandal-free? And I was playing ice hockey back in the day when you would go to Sabreland for a 6 AM practice for the Wheatfield Blades, and then wait around after to watch the Sabres practice themselves, and then hope guys like Lindy Ruff and Don Edwards and Danny Gare would talk to you after their practice and give you their old Sher-Wood wooden stick. Which they often did. I actually used to sit in the Kenmore Library 8mm viewing booth and have them run the silent movie of the Sabres - Flyers Stanley Cup Final over and over. I was only 4 when that took place so I wanted to soak as much of it in as I could.

So, walk away. It's time. You'll never be happy and anything the Sabres do from here on out with be forever tainted (in your mind, and mostly only your mind, despite your claims) by their selling off of assets they weren't winning with to get assets to build for the future. You can't enjoy any future Sabres successes, and you're too wrapped up in what you perceive the "rest of the league" thinks. In fact, to you, winning the Stanley Cup would be the ultimate insult to those who hate the Pegulas and their plan for success. So, just walk away. It's over for you.

Kris Baker of Sabres Prospects tweeted about how Dupuy has impressed him the most.

I refuse to listen. That doesn't support the "Pegula is awful" narrative. You might actually be right about that cryogenic thing though.

Erie Otters - Soo Greyhounds game is on the NHL Network right now.

Murray said as much.

Really sad and scary. When I was a kid Don Edwards was my favorite player for a while. http://www.lfpress.com/2015/04/25/don-edwards-fights-to-keep-parents-killer-in-jail

He's one of the reasons Pegula drove the Sabres into a ditch. The Buffalo News is right to demand a press conference. I hope they grill Terry and Kim about this during the Showtime interview. You'd think with all that money they could have stopped Miller from aging.

I'm going to have amnesia from being so frigging drunk from partying my a** off for a week! THAT TIME IS COMING SOON! WHOO HOO!!!

Better than a story about an owner who drove the Sabres to Seattle or Las Vegas and then drove the Bills to Toronto or Los Angeles.

I call that starting the rebuild before us and having players already on the team like Monahan and Johnny Hockey. I think they're a fun team and on their way to getting even better but I'll be happier with our team in a couple of years.

This sounds pretty awesome! I might have get Showtime for a month to DVR it when they air the show.

So, the NBC Sports Network is going to air every Team USA game at the World Championships live... http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/04/27/nbcsn-to-air-every-team-usa-game-at-worlds/

Anyone wanting LESS NHL Stanley Cup playoff hockey is nuts. This is the best sports time of the year.

I'd like a 3 game series for the "play in" games. I've seen something like this before. Instead of 8 teams a conference, you have 10 teams make the playoffs, and then the bottom four play a quick three game series to advance. If they add two more teams in the next couple of years (Las Vegas? Seattle? Toronto II? Quebec City?) I could see them doing this to give more teams a chance for a taste of playoff hockey.

How about Phil Jackson? He's won multiple championships coaching multiple teams, and he admits he prefers the NHL playoffs to the NBA's. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/phil-jackson-nhl-stanley-cup-nba-playoffs-blackhawks-predators-timeouts-replays/

Johnny Hockey has already exceed Johnny Football. This is a great video from a couple of days about him. Makes me love the kid. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/gaudreau-defying-odds-in-flames-playoff-run/

No Stafford and Weber? :unsure:

Columbo. The Rockford Files. Goon. The Last Gladiators. (The last two are FANTASTIC hockey movies.)

I can't recall which commercial of which you speak, and I have been REALLY trying to recall it.

I think Hecht with more upside is a good comparison. I was impressed with his play between Moulson and Ennis.

I like Miller but I have always hated the Canucks. I just can't root for them.

Do you know what doesn't excite me to buy a car? A commercial with a line of them parallel parking. ZZZZZZ

I remember my friend was in youth soccer when we were kids and both him and another kid wanted # 5. So the kid was 5 and he was 05. I thought that was moronic when I was 8 and I still do.
