thewookie1 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 And at least it's someone incredibly qualified as opposed to hiring Steve-o Murray, his alcoholic 19 year old nephew. Or Mrs. Murray, she could draft Eichel though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I can't tell you how delighted I am this morning that Terry Murray is part of the staff. I'm reluctant to call anyone in this game a genius. But I can't think of a better guy to handle/teach the defense and call the pairings.

That Aud Smell Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Am I crazy or is Terry Murray GMTM's uncle? And now he's going to be an assistant coach on the Sabres? Does that strike anyone else as a strange situation? Yep. And Sorta. I can't tell you how delighted I am this morning that Terry Murray is part of the staff. I'm reluctant to call anyone in this game a genius. But I can't think of a better guy to handle/teach the defense and call the pairings. So -- sorta strange, but completely awesome as well?

nfreeman Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I suppose my underlying concern about the uncle thing is this: what if PAFan is right and TP is really a meddling bozo who forced GMTM to hire a big-name coach despite GMTM preferring someone like Richardson? And what if GMTM acceded to TP's demand but maneuvered to get his uncle in as one of the assistants, so that GMTM would know what is going on in the locker room? And what if that is inherently a toxic and flammable situation? What if PAFan is right about everything? Is that a world that we can live in?

If true, it would be a world we would live in. Regardless. And what if we're really in the Matrix? Every now and then, I feel like that could be true. Just a for a second.

That's me and I'm entitled to my opinion. But I think as a mod, blatantly trolling someone is kinda whack. Even if I cant stand him and his endless conspiracy crap and find it annoying drivel. I'm sure he sees me in the same light and that's alright. We cant all get along. In other words it would be fine for me to do it, but a mod? Not cool in my book. That's all I'm sayin.

No mod has ever been asked nor will ever be asked to stop participating in a community in the ways that they previously interacted. Mods/Admins are still fans of the team and are still welcomed to interact with everyone as they so choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 @SWhyno: Hextall says Terry Murray wanted to finish coaching career in NHL. Once Flyers/Hakstol decided status quo, #Sabres got permission, hired him With the LA Bloggers heaping praise on him, I am glad they did not promote him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm still waiting for someone to show me an example of something PA has said to have been actually proven to not be true. I guess it's just easier to throw barbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah, I don't get the PA hate. He's just another opinion, stated just as firmly as any of us state ours. Same with Dwight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's hate at all. I just think people tend to get tired of the exact same axe being ground in different ways in numerous threads. It's the message board equivalent of the boy who cried wolf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pegged (although likely over-stated) T Peg as an "active" (meddling) owner before many were inclined to admit as much (including me).
