Disclaimer...I did not listen to the whole thing as the exchanges between BN staff and Ted became painful to listen to. A few bullet points... - Pegula started the battle two years ago when he went to BN management to complain that the sports staff were being unkind to his new toy. - That being said, there was no reason for Sully and Harrington to act like aholes. Both of them came off looking really bad, and I am normally one to defend them. Was Bucky there? - Not at all surprised that DR still has a job. He sacrificed Lindy(not that I was a fan of his) in order to keep his job. Scumbag! - I am glad Pegula wasn't there nor do I feel he should have been. He is a public speaking disaster which was evident the day of his first PC as the Sabres owner. - I feel that if they truly believe there is no future with Vanek and Miller and they trade them, the on-ice product is going to be much worse in the next two years. This clown for a GM couldn't even figure out how to plug small holes like going into this year without a 3rd line center, and yet he is going to oversee a major overhaul? LOL. That's all I have.

Me, but I am feeling quite delusional today. :)

Best tank job goes to Nashille who finished the season 1-8-1. To put it in perspective, they were ahead of the Sabres in the standings with 10 games remaining.

Game on right now. TWC 87. 1-0 Marlies in the 1st.

If Darcy stays on, I will be extremely disappointed in Pegula. Just because he sent his BFF down the river(or was told to do it or be fired) doesn't mean he knows how to BUILD A TEAM. He has been clueless in this regard for the last decade, and I see no reason why that is going to change going forward. If he is still employed after Monday's PC, all I can say is that I am glad I will be out of town the entire week leading up to the draft, and not be home until the Monday after, so I don't have to watch him continue to screw this franchise up.

I always liked Hecht. He was a solid 3rd line forward who was defensively responsible, could fill in when needed on the top 6, and was a good penalty killer.

No better way to end this train wreck of a season than to lose tonight in a blowout. Islanders 6 Sabres 1 Regier better be fired by Monday!

Larry you will be fondly remembered. My first memories of sports talk radio was listening to John Murphy, Larry Felser & Monday Night Quarterback. :(

Barkley or Nassib.

After watching Grigs last night, there is no way he is going to be ready for a top 6 role next year. I'm not even sure he is going to be ready for a bottom 6 role. Please please please don't let him be a bust! :(

Just got home from the game. Can't wait for this season to end. Regier better be fired. That's all I've got.

The words Myers and wrecking should never be used in the same sentence! ;)

Tropp out for 1st round. I am not sure why they rushed him back?

I'll take this time to pat myself on the back. :rolleyes:

Val James? :P

Mikko Makela?

Potholes. It's spring, WTF are you waiting for.

I'm in.

Lindy on the fan590 right now. Lindy, what went wrong? "We may have been the worst defensive team in the league". Lindy, do you expect to be in the NHL next year? "I hope to have a chance next year" Nothing else of note. He was in Alberta heading to his hometown and cell kept breaking up.

Maybe I'm mixing it up with another event. Wasn't there a game in Vegas once(maybe preseason or minor league) where they played on fake ice?

Yep

Did they play on artificial ice in Vegas?

From one longtime Buffalo sports fan to another....I feel your pain.

Before you fall too much in love with them(Ruhwedel, Pysyk, etc....), just remember that everyone was proclaiming McNabb to be a savior last season after a small number of games, and then he proceeded to spend thIs entire year in the AHL.

What can I say...just trying to be optimistic about something! :rolleyes:
