PASabreFan Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Viktor Yanukovych, the deposed Ukranian president, is rumored to be replacing PLF! Why else would he have quit his job in Ukraine? You're on a roll today my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's probably 100% nothing and now we're never going to hear the end of the Bob McKenzie haters. McKenzie is fun. I watch him on TSN. Not sure about his tweeting life though. I googled what he tweeted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Who are you talking about. National media? who? Bob McKenzie. Nick Kypreos. Darren Millard. David Pognotta. Chris Botta. They've all commented on this knowledgeably throughout the day. Botta and McKenzie were both way ahead of anything Buffalo media had.

Hoss Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) There is a certain strange hatred for "rumors." When the national media, especially the ones who have established a VERY good reputation, are all saying the same thing then something is up. It's not nothing. They know something is up, and it's only a matter before we know. Some might find it hard to separate legitimate professionals with random twitter people reporting stuff. The legitimate professionals don't just say ###### because it's fun. Buffalo media? I wouldn't really qualify them as legitimate professionals with good reputations. Most just write whatever the national guys are talking about, and then act pissy when anybody points it out.

Neo Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Lots of experience, expertise, history and talent in the management chain. Also, a lot of the buck stops here personalities. That's not necessarily bad, but it's tricky. Add tight time frames, decisions that involve judgment, and the need to communicate, and fruit can be bruised. Boss's boss, who supports who, who called who, etc., all come in to play. Bruised fruit, options, and egos (no pejorative). Three obvious rub spots, in my mind. 1) Miller / Ott trade 2) Trade on the table 3) Nolan's future. I see Murray as in charge with all three. Speculation (mine): La Fontaine disagrees with one or more choices, Pegula intervenes on behalf of Murray, and the historically willing to leave La Fontaine does just that. Add up to the second (at the expense of thoughtful) twitter, media competition, and you get all of us (me included) glued to a message board.

Most just write whatever the national guys are talking about, and then act pissy when anybody points it out. It's not that I'm not intrigued by Internet rumors. It's that there is no information at all beyond "something is up." So everyone speculates wildly but we have no real information beyond the basic "some guys are disagreeing over something."

The Miller trade wouldn't have happend without buy-in from all/most involved (Pegula for sure). I would guess #2 might be a source of disagreement - specifically there could be a player or two being discussed that some don't want to move (e.g., Tyler Myers).

Bill Wippert is a pretty good photographer, and I was hanging out with him one day, and he takes really great pictures of food. I'm not making this up. He's an excellent food photographer.
