  1. Happy Dyngus Day to all of you celebrating the festivities in the 716. Proud to be Polish on my dad's side of the family. 😎
  2. To the bolded, I don't know whether it was or wasn't but one thing is abundantly clear...he's either obtuse, doesn't really care all that much about winning, or is a flat out liar. The day he bought the Sabres, he smugly declared, "Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres’ reason for existence will be to win a Stanley Cup” and “I want to run the team to win the Stanley Cup. If I want to make some money, I’ll go drill a gas well.” Well, here we are 13 years into his self-proclaimed "reason for existence" and not only has this organization not won a Stanley Cup, it has not even made the playoffs once in that baker's dozen of seasons. With each passing year, he and this franchise continue to make embarrassing NHL history and slide into the abyss. If he's incapable of making his vision happen then he should take his sizable profit, sell, and sail off into the sunset. I doubt there are many people who weren't grateful when he bought both the Sabres & Bills but, at some point, the honeymoon ends and results are expected. Fans spend their hard earned money and time on tickets, pay-per-view platforms (ESPN+, Center Ice), merchandise, travel, & accommodations all to support his team. To not expect them to voice their concern over a once proud and beloved franchise is unrealistic on Pegula's part. If he didn't want to talk about his franchise(s) or deal with boos and criticism, then he never should have bought. Fans want a reason to love him but he has instead pushed them away. Winning cures all, Terry, and with it comes the money and adoration you so dearly crave.
  3. I wanted to drive up to my aunt and uncle's place in Jamestown to watch it but we already had long-standing plans and will be driving back home to Virginia from North Carolina on Monday, the 8th.
  4. It was reported that the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is expecting a million people. To put that in perspective, Niagara Falls hosts 14 million visitors/tourists in an entire calendar year.
  5. Tossing my hat in the ring for: 'Slo Startz' 'Rancid Meatballs' 'Thirteen N Counting'
  6. It should be fun to watch them b*tch & moan the first time they get booed out of a 3/4 empty building early in the season.
  7. Samsonov with the stick salute to the crowd. What else do you need to see to wake you from your slumber, Pegs? Jesus H...
  8. They decide to get mad with less than a minute to go and the game over. Bunch of p*ssies.
  9. I'll believe it when I actually see it. Pegs was the only owner dumb enough to extend Granato when he'd done absolutely nothing in his coaching career up to that point to warrant an extension.
  10. The atmosphere in that building following a Samsonov save is absolutely disgusting.
  11. The fact that we're even entertaining the thought tells you all you need to know about the state of this moribund franchise.
  12. Dahls stretch pass to Benson for the empty net tally. What a beauty!
