darksabre Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Really, resigning is the only option for him. It's not like he can deliver the "you're fired" letter to himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Actual quality hockey discussion?!? Depends on how you mean that. Do you mean quality discussion of hockey, or discussion of quality hockey? The former may not be possible on this forum, but hopefully the latter is in the near term future.

Doohickie Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 If you find our community is not meeting your intellectual standards, then by all means pursue a more mentally fulfilling activity. We will try and manage without you. It was a joke, geez. Maybe I should have inserted a sarcasm tag. To be honest, as a Buffalo ex-patriot, this where I get most of my Sabres insight. ^ C'mon, chief - I trust Egg was just funnin'. :flirt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
