Hank had some excellent and very pointed words last year too. He is repeating the same thing, which is sad.

Seems like another beat down is coming. Which is why they might show up for tonight.

Willing to accept Berube? That sounds funny. Willing to accept a recent Cup winner. Is he willing to accept Adams or Pegula? Berube is both a motivator and a good X & O guy. He is not going to jump on a Sabres offer. He will be coaching in the NHL next season, but not in Buffalo.

Really? Fan apathy is now the reason that they stick with this coaching staff? There will be no change to GM and coach because ownership does not care enough. They have guys that do the job without making waves. That is most important to ownership. Stay under the cap and don’t make waves. Fan apathy is merely a byproduct of the worst ownership in any era of NHL history. By any measure, the ownership is a gigantic, colossal failure, and they don’t care. That’s why good veteran players that want to win still will not come here.

Seems like an opportunity for Kulich or Rosen to get some 1st line shifts. I guess they didn’t do enough? Murray won’t keep up, more shuffling coming. Tuch lite up Tkachuk early in the season.

They won’t trade KO. Doubt there are any takers.

He should take the profit, thank the league, and go. No way does he retain majority and not run the show.

That is his point. The Core players know they needed more help. They also know the system they play doesn’t work in the NHL. ROR/Eichel/Reinhart is going to turn into Cozens/Dahlin/Thompson unless they get help. Start with the coaching staff. Its the only logical move.

At some point Pegula has to sell. He can’t be having fun with this? He doesn’t go to games. What’s the point in this for him? He won’t trust an experienced GM. He hires rookies because of it. In Adams he has a guy he trusts and he can control. Adam’s had a core of good players to work with. Hire some help and start winning.

He did it last year too. He asked when will they play defense.

Trying to listen on the radio does not work. They don’t call the game play by play. Just talk and filler. Under Pegula everything is worse, I think the team got a nicer dressing room but that’s it. Do I care about them? Yes. Since before day 1. I want them fixed. Berube is available, not sure he would take the job. In St Louis they missed the playoffs last year, and the owner does not want that to happen again. Armstrong had to fire him, even though he knows he gutted the team and did not replace the core vet players with anywhere near the same quality. Imagine, they are on the verge of missing the playoff for 2 years and they took action. Hard to even fathom 13 years right now. Not even one lucky year in there. Pegula doesn’t care as much as I do.

Well I watched it last night. Embarrassing game to play on TNT. No effort right from the start. The first period was the worst I’ve seen all year. Would like to blame the air because the motivation should be there. Good 2nd period but no goals, no finish, no fight in them. They barely went through the motions in the 3rd. Would like to know what the National TV said with their mics offs. On to Vahgis.

I heard that. I like Panger but the comment was cosmic. Still don’t know what it means.

I’m too old to hear this. I want a Cup. Just one.

He has not been a long term answer anywhere. But he always left it better than when he got there.

Spooner still jamming

He was the first round pick of St Louis. FOA. The fans gave him a wonderful tribute.

Boyz v Men

Spooner still in the room.

I gave you a cup for this.

They were not ready, and I suspect the altitude has something of an effect.

Another first NHL goal for the other guys.

And the fluorescent lights, they prefer LED.

We scored. Benson and the Jets
