The last thing this ghetto franchise needs is acting irrationally due to desperation. That will only set this 😆 laughed at franchise farther back and make it an even lesser appealing place for potential new staff and players. Acting more intelligently and competently might not sound very jazzy, but it is what this dumb franchise needs more of.

A hiring of Torts is an act of insanity. I have sternly warned you that you need to stop eating those hallucinogenic mushrooms. If you continue to partake you will end up with terminal brain rot. This smug and insufferable faux pas tyrant's career has run its course. The expiration date on this fellow is way past long gone.

No one is going give up a lot for UPL. If it is decided that he is the odd man out in the current trio rotation, then trade him or whoever, and get what you can get. In my view, it would be good for UPL to go to another team and have a fresh start. One of the main criticisms that KA has received by many over the past number of years is how he has handled the goalie position. No question that it is warranted.

Reasonable estimation. It would be difficult to account for every variable.

The Pegula organization represents institutional fraud. It never ends!

Do you know what Norris and Tuch's status are for the next game?

We'll see. If something like that happens it is more likely to happen in the offseason. And from a Hill perspective, he's currently with a Cup contending team. Why would he want to go to an acknowledged ghetto franchise at this time than be where he is right now?

Any non-sober person who followed the Sabres recognized early on that Terry P was a virus that was infecting this plagued franchise. It didn't take much talent to come to that obvious conclusion early on. It's like saying that crap stinks. You may not be aware of it but most of us were aware of it as soon as he started acting like a drunken fool once he took over.

It would be a big mistake. With a Dahlin trade you are essentially signaling that you will be going through another rebuild. That will likely mean that Tuch and Tage will also make it clear that they will also want out. And it wouldn't be a surprise if Tuch is in that category already.

We have an experienced goalie in Lyon. He's certainly not an elite goalie but is as good as any goalie that could be acquired on the market right now. There's no question that an elite goalie is a difference maker. That caliber of goalie is usually kept by most well-run franchises. The problem for the hometown club is the roster and the way it is constructed. The GM needed to add another top six forward to the roster. He didn't. The Sabres have three goalies on the roster and Levi in Rochester. In my view, one of them has to go. I'm not fretting over which one is dispatched.

I had the same sensation. He sounds like a demoralized Sabre fan. It's like a reprise of the Eichel situation.

The problem is that a proven coach who has been involved in a serious Stanley Cup pursuit, is aware of what it takes to get to that lofty level. And that caliber of coach would not want to put himself in such a poorly structured situation with an owner like Terry P. whose reputation and competency is well known in the hockey business.

Terry P has structured the organization the way he wants it to be structured or more accurately unstructured. By creating this disorderly line of authority, he has more ability to dabble when he so desires. He's a third-rate owner and third-rate wannabe POHO. The sabotaging issue isn't that he doesn't know much about how to be a good NHL owner. It is that he's not aware enough to recognize what he doesn't know. That's the damaging trait that has hovered over this franchise since he bought it.

I don't think that you have to comply to meet both terms. I was in the same situation where my mileage service point didn't come close to the designated date. Some people do a lot of driving while some don't. It's very likely that the mileage level is the overriding requirement.

It seems that the inevitable is becoming the reality. There are too many different sources saying/speculating the same thing, When the whispers get so loud then it is very likely some action will soon follow.
