He is indeed out. How fast they fall from grace.
Brind'Amour? Now that would be interesting.
There is zero chance RBA leaves Raleigh. He wants to be there and has no desire to leave, they want him to stay.

Clearly hiring one of the winningest coaches in NHL history with a long track record of success was a huge mistake and we should've just hired another Rolston or Housley instead.

After watching that pile of dogshit Caps team and thinking how they somehow got into the playoffs I want us to rehire that incompetent Granato just so we can instantly fire him again. What an appaling failure this season was, no coach in history was more justly fired.

Casey is a star for a potential cup winner while Byram was just about the biggest liability on our entire roster since he arrived. Any time Byram was on the ice for us last year I would expect something bad was going to happen.

for dunking on them as clickbait knuckleheads who didn't know dip squat when they tweeted yesterday about rumoured sales of Pegula sports stakes being afoot.
private equity ruins what it touches.
like a reverse midas touch.
The guy said Pegula was selling everything except the Bills when it ended up the exact opposite was true.

lmao "estate taxes become more burdensome" go home Tim, no one gives a flying F about Pegula eventually having to pay an estate tax.
If it forces the family to sell both teams everyone is going to care. From what I gather this is a measure to prevent that from happening.

For baseless rumour (h/t Smell) mongering, it got the big hitters in the media to run it down. That tells me there's smoke but maybe not yet fire. No way Wawrow et al were going to ignore the Internet chatter.
Then the news that there has been an NHL approved party interested in buying the team. Think that happens by accident? Approval implies due diligence by the league re: the interested party. Seems like a big deal.
Does the league want TP to sell? Is he not selling out of spite? Was the offer merely too low?
So while this wasn't the pants anaconda I was hoping for, my garter snake is still at half staff as I write this.
If Thorny likes this post, all bets are off.
The big hitters in the media addressed it because lots of people weren't smart enough to spot that the whole thing was based on a complete ***** story pushed by a ridiculous nobody on Twitter and regurgitated elsewhere as such obvious clickbait even Stevie Wonder would've been able to see it.

We have the absolute worst coach and staff in the league, everything else is just piss and wind.

You would think people would've learned their lesson about running players out of town on a rail only to see it blow up in our faces in the most horrible and humiliating fashion possible (like that guy who scored the winning goal) but then you see the scorching hot takes on Cozens and the answer is clearly: Nope.

Oshie threw a late and overly aggressive hit on Thompson at the end of the period. That started it.
Dahlin came in and blasted Oshie. That escalated it.
Many Caps and officials pour in on Dahlin. Dahlin was held by an official while Oshie threw punches at him. #17 also threw punches at Dahlin while Dahlin was being held.
Clifton was strong enough to pull Oshie out of there and hold him. Cliffy and Oshie would be a good fight actually but it was obvious that Oshie did not want Clifton, he wanted Dahlin.
Patch and OV both had Thompson, when OV saw that Thompson was in a battle with Patche pulled away and he stayed out of it. The Caps had an extra guy out there with UPL in the net.
Thompson pummeled Pacioretty with at least 6 good shots.
Greenway grabbed Wilson. Their fight was short. Greenway lost his balance and fell before Wilson could really tee off. Wilson was content to go just go home with a takedown on the scorecard.
Dahlin did not start the fight but he came to Thompson's aid and escalated it.
Now Thompson knows that he can throw'em, even though he probably shouldn't.
For those who think that Thompson is not strong and in really good shape, they are wrong.

Patches received DEATH BY GIRAFFE!

The best thing is that the team already has the excuse of starting the season in Europe lined up when they get off to a 4-13 start and the season is over by Thanksgiving.

Players are happy and want to go to an armpit of humanity like Pittsburgh because they are always a winning team. Players would have no problem coming to Buffalo if the team was good, in fact the location bordering Southern Ontario would be a draw for many of them.

If you put Don Granato on Tampa would the Lightning struggle out of the gate all the time?
It’s the players. That we are counting on Granato to provide SO much of the motivation speaks to the issue itself: the players are unable to provide it themselves.
Are they defective? No. It’s likely a reflection of their youth. And I’m not saying that as an excuse but rather pointing out a flaw.
Can a horrid coach singlehandedly wreck a perennial cup contender?
Yes:

Halfway through they just hit a brick wall and had nothing left. Fortunate to get the win even though it was a bogus skills competition one.

I think a big reason Terry Pegula wants out of the Rochester arena business is because of what is going on in Buffalo. The new Buffalo Bills stadium is a fortune and Terry Pegula has to cover cost overruns or if he can’t get the money he thought out of PSL’s that is one reason. Second reason is Key Bank Center needs major upgrades and renovations. Erie County, New York State won’t contribute much after coming up with $850 million dollars for the Buffalo Bills stadium. So I think those projects are his focus which have a lot more upside than the minor league hockey arena business. It will affect the Rochester Knighthawks and Rochester Americans because Terry Pegula rent will go up once he turns over the control of the Rochester arena. I think the Rochester Americans and Rochester Knighthawks will be sold at some point to Rochester committed owner or owners interest. I just see what is going on in the NHL they development of players in the home city they play in. I could see at some of Buffalo will have their own AHL team that will have the Buffalo Sabres prospects in a new renovated Key Bank Center or a new Buffalo Sabres practice facility/Buffalo AHL team playing there. It won’t happen right away but 2030’s I could see it or that doesn’t happen at all and Sabres prospects stay in Rochester but Terry Pegula completely out of the minor league business of hockey. The Rochester Knighthawks are in limbo because they are losing money and Terry Pegula already owns the profitable Buffalo Bandits.
Rochester leadership in the business community needs to do what they do in Toledo with the Toledo Mud Hens IL and Toledo Walleyes ECHL they cross market year round fun. Let the Rochester Red Wings cross promote with the Rochester Americans. I never thought it was a good idea for the Buffalo Sabres to take over the old Rochester Arena. I am from Buffalo but I think Rochester screwed up renovating the old arena instead of doing what the Hershey Bears did and just build a new arena. I would have built a new Rochester Arena over the Rochester Soccer stadium. That is where Rochester leadership screwed up. Rochester today is done as a major soccer city after the announcement of Buffalo getting a USL championship division and USL Super league franchise in 2026. The USL wants Buffalo tells me two things one Buffalo the USL leadership see Buffalo as have more potential than Rochester. Along with I think Rochester leadership burned a lot of bridges with the USL leadership with went down with the Rochester leadership/Rochester Rhinos over flexing their muscles when reality they were saying goodbye to high level soccer forever in Rochester which was dumb mistake too. Once the Rochester Rhinos shutdown it was over. I don’t think the Sacramento Kings minority owners the Dworkman’s whatever there name was were ever interested in Rochester Rhinos soccer if they didn’t get a sweetheart lease deal with the Rochester Soccer Stadium. I think the Rochester Rhinos to them was some kind of tax write off. They were never interested and they changed the iconic Rochester Rhinos name they were pretenders all hat and no cattle. So the smarter play would have been building a new Rochester Americans arena that could host year round events compared to a Soccer Stadium. Plus with modular stadium’s now it gives Rochester less leverage plus they don’t control Buffalo outdoor soccer rights anymore which is why USL can go to Buffalo in 2026. I think it will all work out for Rochester Americans but Rochester needs better leadership then they have been getting the past 20 years in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo
The mistake with the soccer stadium was 100% the location. It's in the absolute worst area of the entire city and people did not want to go there (particularly at night).

Krebs should have his ass nailed to the bench for the rest of the game and be scratched the next game for that Risto level low hockey IQ penalty.
