I used to laugh when he says that, but now I get pissed. His job performance says otherwise.

Fixed? Didn't the Sabres blow a 3 or 4 goal lead? Pittsburgh changed their goalie and then they started playing harder, and the Sabres wilted just like they did all season. The TNT guys kept pushing the Crosby and Malkin narrative and the Sabres proceeded to do their Washington Generals imitation. Maybe the Sabres will prevent the sweep tonight. Lets see.

I am not enamored with him. I am judging him on his record.

It was all staged phone calls. "Hello Sweens" and "I give you Jokiharju for a 4th in 2026" and "yes, he sure is a good kid". "I'll get Jaberbowski to run the numbers". Enraging is the word.

True - 3 years is about average, unless you are winning or improving the team in some way. It looks like Torts did all he could in Philly, time to move on. Torts has 3 long tenures in his career. I looked at his head coaching record and its Tampa (7 years), NYR (5 years), Van (1 year), CBJ (6 years), Philly (3 years). He tended to stick around. I will agree that today he is old school and probably "past his prime". He was old school even when he was in his prime. But he was not a journeyman drifter that got fired quickly.

To the Buffalo Sabres PR Team, Enough of this garbage. Staging a video of Kevyn Adams and crew "working hard" at the trade deadline. Is this supposed to inspire confidence? Is this suppose to resonate with fans after yet another completely rotten season? Do you think fans will watch this and be pleased? How many shots of Matty Ellis playing with his iPhone can one endure? Are you implying here that Adams actually has the time to have a film crew record his phone calls and meetings so we can watch him "making deals"? Worse, he has the time and the desire to stage these things? Someday we hope you will make a video about Buffalo Sabres hockey players actually winning hockey games, and happy fans leaving the arena. Until then spare us the propaganda videos, we know how this last place team operates, we have seen it for too dam long. There is no hiding the dysfunction of this front office with these staged videos, it just confirms that the Buffalo Sabres are not run like a real hockey organization. Feel free to pass this on to Kevyn, Lindy, and Terry.

Short life span? He coached at Philly for 3 years, that is about the average life span for Terry Pegula coaches. Let's not forget that Torts strung together 7 years at Tampa, 5 years at NYR, 6 years at CBJ. He took on a lot of rebuilds too. 770 wins Two time Coach of the Year One Stanley Cup You don't like him, ok. But you can't rewrite history. The only thing I can agree with is that he could never work for Terry. That would be impossible, Torts says way too many bad words. Briere inherited Torts. This was inevitable. Drury seems to be struggling after a fast start.

Torts woke up, saw his team just one point ahead of Buffalo and that was that (Sabres with 3 games in hand). Briere decide to move on now, with 9 games left. I am betting Briere's exhaustive coach search has more than one candidate.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!

Your missing the point. He wants to control hockey and fix it himself. He is not hands off.

I will tip the Fedora to the people that go regularly, they do their best to stay entertained. On a positive note, young people, post college and 30’s, are well represented at the games. So if they ever turn it around there will be a bigger demand quickly. Many of them have never seen winning unless they remember the Drury/Briere era, 17 years ago.
