That Aud Smell Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Holy Christmas - is that ever weird. And, yeah - most definitely not an incident on public transportation. You have to think that the AGM was impaired in some way. Flynn's tack is sort of funny: Not the crime of the century, but I gotta call a press conference about it. In this particular instance, though, I sort of love that my elected DA is maybe going out of his way to take a shot at a divisional rival for "uncool" behaviour. Also, having dealt with Flynn quite a bit back in the day, I had more recently observed to myself that Flynn's public appearances were more ... polished than I recalled him being (those appearances that were in his capacity as a candidate for DA and then as the elected DA). This presser featured more of Flynn's trademark style of speech. I always enjoyed it. Edited June 1, 2018 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Initially perceived this as Randy Sexton, but it fortunately hasn’t been that kind of spring for the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 There is something highly dysfunctional in the Senators’ organization. I’m sure glad the Sabres hired a GM from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Gotcha It was more of subtextually saying Murray is gone. Thankfully Murray is gone is more accurate. I suppose hindsight is 20/20 because I did like Murray at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's obviously the right move. But it raises a lot of questions. to include, maybe, the nature of Lou's departure from Toronto? I am a little curious: If you were the Leafs, could you not figure out a way to pay Lou not to work for the next 2 months, so that he's not with another franchise maybe making use of intell that your franchise developed regarding the draft?

LTS Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Doug Weight.. your new Asst. Coach of the Buffalo Sabres. I'm in for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 From a guy named Greg Brady: That’s that for Tavares w/ the Isles. Have heard from far too many connected people that the only way JT was staying was a reaffirmed commitment to Weight as head coach. Isles will attempt to trade his rights before July 1. Doug Weight.. your new Asst. Coach of the Buffalo Sabres. I'm in for that. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is...this is the deal the Leafs cut with Lou to get him there in the first place. He seems to have decided that he's a contract killer and is making it his job to just go from team to team and whip them into shape. He's Winston Wolfe and he makes the rules. You just get him his coffee. Doug Weight.. your new Asst. Coach of the Buffalo Sabres. I'm in for that. Shoot, fire Housley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just get him his coffee. Shoot, fire Housley. I'm not up for that. I think Housley will be a very good coach. There's no denying the offense that the Isles had last year and I am sure Weight can bring that experience to Buffalo. If he also curries favor with Tavares and/or one of the UFA defensemen from Long Island then all the better. I loved Weight as a player and so did other players. I seem to recall hearing that players really liked him as a coach as well. He's a no BS guy. Botterill should have already made the call.
