Pat Lafontaine resigns position with team

[SamuraiArt]

I could see Nolan/Lafontaine being angry about trading Ott but putting a job on the line for that seems like a silly move.

If they fire General Taco Bus we wont have to see GMTM anymore, #silverlinings

I honestly must have missed something, or several things as I have no idea what you are saying.

Think everyone will be watching HNIC tonight.

I bet lafontaine slept with Murray's girl and then she drove her car off a cliff because it was so foggy and while they were mourning she walked in, still alive after all, and told them the baby wasn't either of theirs. The father is actually Tom Golisano and he wants custody of the baby and the Sabres as long as he doesn't have to pay any taxes.

Why else would reporters be tweeting something is up?

People disagreeing about extremely important decisions and fighting for what they believe is best for the organization is not a big deal to me.

This isn't a soap opera. If there are problems they will be resolved. All of the people involved are known to be class individuals. Either we everything we thought we knew is false, or this is isn't as catastrophic as everyone is assuming.

donuts, tacos, tweets, no one knows whats going on, and the front office is fighting

Maybe Murray heard Drew Stafford warming up and said "What the hell are we about to subject our fans to?" Tried to pull the plug and then Stafford's biggest fan as a musician (Pat LaFontaine) threatened to quit if Murray doesn't let him play (guitar).

Random side-fact about Stafford. That guitar of his that he's playing is kinda embarrassing. It's a $250'ish Epiphone...something you give your 14 year old to hedge your bets if they never play. Drew's a multi-millionaire...he should play something...better, lol

Oh god...

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

please reference the "no one knows whats going on" portion of the post

anything and everything from Nolans job to LaFontaine attempting to sign a puppet GM

Andrew Peters ‏@DumpandChange76 2m

Brace Yourselves.

Because Andrew Peters is back to narrowly lose every fight that he engages in.

Coming Spring 2014.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Is Peters playing at unpucked?

EDIT: He is expected to attend. So maybe he's referring to that?

 

[Shmuffalo]

He's going to fight Ted Nolan for the coaching job

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

turns out this is all over "does Limo count in scrabble"

 

[BananaSquad]

Murray better not he going anywhere. Nolan and lafontaine can go cry a river beside the habour center for all i care.

Can i get a summary of this

The crossroads we all knew would need to be crossed, is currently ring crossed (it seems)

Patty loves Nolan, any GM is going to want to hire his own guy.

Speculation as to whether the Miller trade had an affect
