    On Rick's night he was very anxious for the crowd to shut up. The crowd wouldn't. He even looked over at Kim who must have said something like, "Just talk, they'll stop." You could easily read his lips. "They won't." I do wonder if getting booed on that night was the last straw for Terry as benevolent owner.

    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.

    From what I’m reading, Buffalo will be right in the middle of the eclipse which is probably why every hotel in the area is booked up that day, again from what I read/ heard.

    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.

    That reminds me that we need a new Sabres themed Kentucky Derby horse naming thread.
