He's behind the curtain, like the Wizard of Oz.

 

"If you want to watch the Sidney Crosbys... you have to GET the Sydney Crosbys"

-Terry Pegula

 

If Mr. Pegula wants a Crosby so bad, why doesn't he pick up the phone and tell our wimpy GM to do something about it.

 

Mr. Murray spends a lot of time scouting instead of making sure this team finishes the mission at hand.

 

I'm also starting to question how good a scout he is, not sure our farm system has gotten much better in past year under his tenure

I think it's time to blame TIM MURRAY, yes, TIM MURRAY.  He is arrogant and spineless for not firing Ted Nolan back when Nolan pulled that crap and started Enroth for 15 straight games in December.

 

A more seasoned GM wouldn't stand for this crap.  I've lost confidence in our GM.

 

And, by the way, where is Pegula through all of this ?

[Is anyone to blame if we don't finish last?]

Nolan.

 

"riding the hot goaltender", all year long versus going with a traditional 2-1 rotation has cost team at least 8-10 points.

 

Nolan is a hypocrite.  He signed the contract knowing the organizational strategy, yet, decided not to do his part.  I have no respect for the man.

I think that nothing would make Nolan happier than finishing 29th as a final FU to Murray on the way out.

 

A final FU to Murray??, it's a final FU to the hard core Sabres fans that always had Nolan's back.  A coach that was welcomed back with open arms by the same fans and is in the process of betraying all of us.

 

I was in high school when Nolan coached the Sabres the first time and fell in love with him and his team and was heartbroken when he got fired.  To watch him do this now is the ultimate betrayal.

Rob Ray suggested Dave Tippett is in on the tank in Arizona.

 

Fire Nolan. Murray takes over coaching duties through the end of the season.

 

#Tanknation #YourmoveArizona

Nolan has a responsibility to be 100 percent aligned with the franchise's stated strategy.  He was fully aware of the strategy when he signed a 3 year multi-million dollar contract extension. 

 

What he is doing (or not doing) borders on insubordination.

 

I have lost all respect for him as a coach.

 

I can't wait for him to get fired.

[The . Thread]

This has been by far the most stressful season ever as a committed and loyal Sabres fan.  I never thought fighting for last place in order to secure a long term asset to ensure a successful franchise would create so much tension amongst fans, but it has.  I cannot wait for this season to be over.

[All Hasek's Eve, your memories, rants and raves]

I thought this was an appropriate thread to make my first post on the site. I've been a long time reader, but thought I'd start chiming in now and then.

 

I have nothing but fond memories of Dominik Hasek. To have an athlete play at the level he played for so many years was a blessing to Buffalo fans. He is perhaps the greatest talent that has ever worn a Buffalo sports uniform. I guess we can debate Kelly, Bruce, Thurman, OJ, Gilbert and Patty L, but in my opinion, none of them ascended to the heights of their respective positions and sports the way Hasek did.

 

It was a pleasure being a fan of this team with him in that uniform.

 

I still find myself watching his highlights and getting chills and goose bumps, oh what could have been with a little more offense. Off the ice, a bit quirky, always good for a laugh and a heart of gold. On the ice he was as competitive as they come.

 

Have a great night DOM !!
