    When I see things like 25% of the Buffalo Bills are for sale and the Rochester Knighthawks are up for sale. That tells me Terry Pegula is slowly selling his sports assets to get out and retire.

    This seems more like confirmation bias than anything. Both things have reasonable explanations..

    The Knighthawks due to him owning another NLL team (and I believe the NLL telling him he has to sell one of the teams eventually).

    The Bills due to the NFL allowing private equity ownership. You're going to see stories of every team in the league selling off some portion of ownership because the price paid will be very high and with the stadium coming in, it makes sense that Pegula is one of the first to move on it.

    Which pretty much fired up the Bruins though and probably was why they won. Lots of rat play on both sides in this series. Fun to watch. 

    ..and the annual Leafs fan meltdown is always amusing too. I'm really enjoying the narrative that refs called penalties in their favor at the wrong times and ruined momentum they have going over on HF right no.

    It's hard to think who would run the power play, all the top teams in the playoffs aside from Boston had the best power plays so I doubt we can poach any of those guys.

    I guess there's a possibility that they might want to go somewhere else because a coach with a top powerplay and in the playoffs probably isn't going anywhere so going elsewhere and having a good powerplay again would write their ticket. Even if that were the case, I don't see Ruff making that sort of hire though.

    It's interesting and worthy speculation that something is financially amiss concerning overruns, other finances and  health family issues.  We'll see where this goes. I get they own too much sports stuff they cannot manage. 

    I'd say it's much more likely that it's due to the NFL allowing private equity to own stakes in teams which will drive up the purchase price of teams.

    Not liking how this sounds.  How about some self respect for the job you have? 

    You can be "right" or you can be realistic. The idea that professional athletes shouldn't need someone to motivate them is an emotional argument made from a fictitious moral high ground.

    I've found that most people when put under a microscope don't like what they see about their ability to 'self motivate' to do the things they're supposed to do.

    .For as much as an overwhelming majority of the fan base want change, outside of maybe some asst. coaches, the roster is where that change will occur. There are real time improvements that have been made, and to not acknowledge them while our frustration grows just doesn't feel right.

    1. Goaltending.......inside organizational growth has improved this position. No need to get in to the particulars, we all watch it.

    2. Defensive corps.......improved, the 2nd half of season gaa says it all, and while it's a complete effort, the defense has improved.

    3. Forward ranks........we all know the skill talent is there, need on ice leadership towards what some call grit, others call heart. For myself, it's called individual accountability from each player to dig down game after game to apply a full 60 min. effort. Leadership on the roster is critical for this in my opinion ad Donny can't throw on a jersey and join the in game action. Sure the coach can do some, make adjustments, hold players accountable, but it's the players that need to self police their own play imo.

    So, from my view, we stay the course, continue to build the maturity of the roster, add those character leadership players in the off season and beyond. I'm very optimistic about this current teams future. I see an upward mobility in the standings in our immediate future.

    "Steady as she goes, stay the course".'

    f*ck, Kevyn, don't you have anything better to do?
