plenzmd1 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 That's the problem....they're pretty much all on the payroll........ Pegula and family are good to the players and staff....and nice for the community......but in actual hockey operations, it's like taking your money to the track and asking the grandkid who to bet on, and he says "Number 5 because he's gray"....... I always bet the grey if he is the only grey in the race. :P I like Petey, i know I am in the minority here. Having said that, only catch the show once a week or so.

Robviously Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Accidentally made the mistake of listening to the first 40 minutes of the show today. Sylvester can't believe that people think Regier should be fired right after he got a contract extension. Peters' big thought is "What if this year was just a fluke? Why not keep everyone and add players in the offseason?" :doh: Good news, everyone, every season is just a fluke. Don't worry about it.

The day Ellis got sent down I thought Peters was going to have a legitimate mental and/or emotional breakdown on the air. As others have said, Peters too often uses the show as a soapbox to defend his closest friends on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Peters loves Matt Ellis. The day Ellis got sent down I thought Peters was going to have a legitimate mental and/or emotional breakdown on the air. As others have said, Peters too often uses the show as a soapbox to defend his closest friends on the team. It's wonderful to be an advocate for friends, but it would be nice to bring some real hockey analysis to the show instead of the "Company Line" (Kevin) and a guy in Peters who can barely string together coherent thoughts. Danny Gare, whenever he's on, adds very little. What a waste of a potentially great format. Edited April 2, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 How many Sabres worked out during the lockout? Could the problem be lack of conditioning? PTR That could be a problem, but it is definitely not the problem. The roster is the problem. They started the season with one center. ONE. They have eight guys who are varying degrees of Marcus Foligno, one Steve Ott, and four guys who have some degree of real talent at any point in time on the forward lines. That is the problem. Not the coach, not the trainer, not the crowd noise, and not the logo on the floor of the locker room. The roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Kevin Sylvester: "Why is there so much anger right now? It's the trade deadline. This is exciting." (paraphrased last two sentences) This is amazing. Note to Kevin: You get paid to follow the team. The rest of us have to pay to follow the team. And the team sucks and has been going nowhere for years. That's why there's so much anger right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Listening to WGR today to keep up on the deadline. Good lord this show is bad. Peters literally cannot control himself when callers pose questions. He immediately goes on the offensive and half the time strays so far off topic the caller has to reign him back in. Woof.

... Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Content aside, the entire show sounds like it's being put on by a high school A/V club. The microphone noise is totally unprofessional...if they're using stands on a table, as opposed to an arm attached to a surface and unmovable, they absolutely NEED to put some sort of damping material on the bottom of the stands. The sound of the stands and mics moving drives me freaking nuts. Also, there is some sort of equipment failure - some mics decay as if the power is dying in the channel they're using in the mixer. Most times it's not Sylvester's mic, sometimes it happens on Peters', and it always happens on the third mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the same....ull be better for it. Howard and Jeremy are fine--no, actually, they're good. They're really fun to listen to in the mornings. Schopp and Bulldog are fine when they're having fun and in good humor. Sly sux but he's Buffalo. Same with Murph in the evenings. It's not a big radio market; it's amazing that we have 12 hours (on a non game day) of all-local sports talk at all. We easily could have to deal with a "The Team" or "Fox Buffalo" or some other crap. (Ever drive through Syracuse?) I'm ok with what we've got.

Eleven, I lurk more than I post and I do admire your concise, insightful, and sometimes witty revelations about the Sabres plight. But, when it comes to quality radio we can't be more far apart. The morning show (w/ "golly gee" has been Howard and his lame sidekick) is like a nails on a chalk board. Bulldog? Are you serious to think that that marble-mouthed baffoonish oaf offers anything besides stumbling over himself with the most obvious of opinions? The updates suck and the station never...ever breaks any news. If your "ok w/ what we got" in GR.....you've been hanging around Darcy too long. Wow.
