Baker & Fairburn pod: The time has come

[PromoTheRobot]

A succession plan they suspect is in the works needs to happen now. The state of the Sabres, injuries and all, demands it.

I get it... but Matthew... its over... make your tee times... nothing changes until Pegula sells or brings in competent management. Everything else I agree with... Why would we let Adams make trades? Why would we not  want the new GM to be able to assess this team... Why is Adams here? etc..

Honestly the whole thing is a really good pod cast... so its hard to time stamp the 6 or 7 salient points

Fairburn is the Athletic Sabres beat writer so he covers the team 24/7. In earlier pods they have discussed the dynamic between Jarmo and Kevyn as being cooperative, not antagonistic as you might expect with someone gunning for your job would be. Jarmo is in Buffalo (not Columbus) at games and practices, side by side with Adams, or right now on the road with the team. So they surmise that there is a handoff at some point being planned. This pod is essentially a plea to Terry to act sooner rather than later. And they go into all the reasons why. You know them already.

Start about 19/20 mins

I have noticed there are some posters on this board who had patience with the current regime that are now calling for massive changes.

I would think that opinion is also creeping into the general fandom outside of this forum.

Just how long can Terry Pegula wait before cleaning house?  The more time that goes by, the more it does look like he just does not care all that much.

I was willing to be patient but the time has come to make major changes. I pray they are the correct ones.

Kevyn's gonna get a promotion, isn't he? President of Hockey Ops? Only in Sabresland.

[Jorcus]

After watching most of that pod cast and given both the coach and GM are on expiring contracts It's time. Don't let the Buffalo's run away. 

 

 

[DarthEbriate]

They do put on a consistently very good podcast and discussion.

[Thorny]

The most unified fanbase in a generation, perhaps?

The Sabres are bad at hockey, fire everyone, make moves for the future, blow it up & rebuild……..yada, yada, yada. Things we’ve heard over the past 15 seasons.

Wash, rinse, repeat.
