In all fairness, that's a pretty big one! Didn't see the press conference, did anyone ask him if he preferred New York Or Boston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 I wonder if the rumor mill re: being in therapy came straight from the arena. I wonder that because I know through a trusted friend with Sabres' alumni contacts that a group text among alumni was talking about the rumor. Pretty clearly something terrible happened to end the relationship. (And anyone who thinks it's not ended after watching that presser is naive.) Also gotta wonder if the delay in Jack appearing was due to the team questioning whether to put him on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-90 W Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Can you imagine his first game in Keybank against us? Hopefully it’s not in the same division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if this is the case, our front office is worse than imaginable. We are heading into unchartered territory for dysfunctional NHL franchises. This team might be permanently bad indefinitely. Word travels quick in the small world of hockey... no top talent will ever want to come here like this. TP has ruined the Sabres brand despite what has happened with the Bills. Just the facts. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if he's a villain in this. Of course Sabres fans don't need a reason to boo. Same division? Who cares? One more thought. I really have to step away. How can the Sabres not issue some sort of counter-statement? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I for one hope he goes out west, don’t need to see him lighting it up against us all season. But whatever gives us the best return.

I-90 W Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 In a weird way it’s almost comforting that huge changes are finally coming, kind of like how back during the tank at least there was a goal/ end in sight (as wrong as that was). This might be the most entertaining off season we’ve seen in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. You had it right the first time--it was a long exit interview. If the team wouldn't "put him on," he could just hold his own press conference some other time or give an interview to the sportswriter of his own choosing.

This might be the most entertaining off season we’ve seen in a long time. there's nothing comforting about this. Eichel, Reinhart, Risto and Ullmark want to leave and we have an inexperienced GM and pretty much absentee owners in charge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 TP needs to sell the team. This 100% is all on him. He has persistently put terrible people in charge even if the rumors of his interference are not true. 11 year playoff drought is unprecedented which looks inevitable. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to hit rock bottom at some point. And I think we just did. Logically that could be a good thing as incrementalism wasn’t going to help us in the long run. We need a complete overhaul and hopefully this will force the Pegula’s into making systematic changes with hockey operations, drafting, coaching, everything really. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
