Hey Terry, Do Us A Favor and SELL

[Jim Bob]

Saying Pegula got " lucky" with the Bills, you're letting him off the hook with the Sabres. No multi billionaire is "lucky".
The Sabres suck because he bought them solely to get the inside track to buy the Bills, who are an elite sports franchise now.
Adams is his hatchet man, and is doing a great job in Pegula's eyes.

Plenty of billionaires are lucky. And plenty of pro sports owners get lucky with hiring the right coach and/or GM.

There is plenty of evidence that Pegula got lucky with the McD hire and was smart to give McD the GM he wanted.

It’s too bad that say the Ralph hire wasn’t a lucky one for Pegula.

His first idea for the Bills was hiring Rex Ryan.

Yeah...

It’s crazy that Kim had the balls and the brains of our ownership duo

The franchise is torched. Hopefully, the team gets sold sooner than later.

Real shame.

Busy day, can someone catch me up?

Did Terry really meet with the players and say no help is coming?

Essentially, yes. He said no big moves are coming which I assume means nobody is being moved out which is supposed to be a “vote of confidence” in the team. We know what it really means though

Everyone fired the day after Christmas break ends?

Nope. That the plan is going ahead as it was built. Internal build. Limited outside the organization money.

Terry is angry

Nothing is going to come of this.

How long until they are in Houston or Atlanta?

Southern strategy, eh?

Success - especially in a small market - vitally depends on quality and aptitude of ownership. Phoenix is a perfect example of failure. Ownership was a joke. Plus the Coyotes needed a new building. Couldn't get one. They move to Utah under enlightened ownership and even if the building isn't perfect, they are winning again.

Ownership in Buffalo is a joke and Buffalo soon needs new building.

I'd even support them in Hamilton. Never in Atlanta or Houston.

This simply isn't true. Players don't come here because they don't want to live and Buffalo and the team sucks.

Why we have to turn Terry Pegula into some sort of monster is just dumb.

We went from "take the fireplace out of the players lounge they are too pampered" to...the organization treats it's players like shit.

Seriously? You are going to hoist this in part on the condition of the city, the surrounding geographic area and (by implication), the fans?

The team sucks because the hockey department sucks and can't mold together a winner.

They tank, acquire outstanding entry level talent and still can't build that into a winner. Players become disillusioned and decide to leave. It started with ROR. Hell, Dahlin is hurt again and I've seen this movie a couple of times now.

I remember when Buffalo was the team everyone wanted to go to. And the city was aN ABSOLUTE sh1t hole back then.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Remember when the Leafs were a joke of a franchise on the ice?

What happened to change that?

Remember when the Blackhawks were a joke as a franchise (everywhere)?

What happened to change that?

Remember when the Red Wings couldn't do jack sh!t right?

What happened to change that?

Some combination of all 3 was is required to change the Sabres. (We are talking in a 50 year modern timeframe).

Them leaving town is NOT one of those factors.

Don't buy any 2025 tickets, let the f'in place get half full with Southern Ontario.

Don't buy any merch for Xmas and beyond!
