Before they announce any fruitless gestures and re-orgs, I should note that my first retool would be: In a press conference, Pegula announces that the EEE era of the Buffalo Sabres is over and the mission is back to multiple Cups. The Pegula Boat is built; their quality of life is maintained. The Bills stadium is underway, a percentage of the Bills has been sold to raise cash for said stadium, and the new government doesn't give a ##### about the environment so he has the ability to drill as many wells wherever he wants again (slant-drilling-under-the-local-elementary-school-style). Then, he steeples his fingers and says, "Excellent." So now they can pay coaches, scouts, and even spend to the cap. But this must be a public announcement. And then Pegula can turn to GMKA and make him POHO/Wormtongue/General or whatever title they want. I would prefer they slap a Velcro A on his suit jacket. He's earned it.

I'm just an imprisoned Quake II marine, crying out "It hurts!", "Make it stop!", and occasionally falling to my knees and hitting the floor with my fists and doing some sort of garbled laugh, waiting for a passing me to frag me.

As a guess based on the way Terry operates lately, Ruff as GM/Coach, Adams President, not a penny spent on the changes. Maybe Lindy gets to pick a couple assistant coaches.

It’s just my opinion, but a journalist should give some information that clarifies if he is just speculating. If Ruff is now in charge of the roster and Lysowski has inside information, he should at least add that he has a source who has confirmed this. There is too much reading between the lines. I mean, I thought Ruff was the man behind the 4th line changes last year…until that didn’t work so well, and then it was all on Adams.

And Kleber

Let's stop trying to cast JBot as some kind of hero or martyr. The organization and scouting department he built was a failure. He made a terrible coaching decisions. He deserved to be fired, even with Adams whispering in Pegula's ear that he could do a better job.

How many decent defensive prospects does that make? Osburn, Strabek, and the two Russian guys in Rochester, plus R Johnson?

Anybody want to translate what Lance is trying to say there? He expects Adams to stay in his current job as a figurehead? He expects Adams bumped up to PoHO? He expects Karmanos and Ventura to leave? Other?

Hopefully Rochester keeps winning. We've got a lot of trade pieces there we can spin into vets. A deep run will only up their value. This is provided KA will actually take on the $$$ associated with veteran contracts.

In the end something you said rings true... its not just the Sabres I would give up on but the entire sport itself... I am sitting here north of Tampa with a lightning team to root for and I dont even watch the games... I have pretty much moved out of hockey with only packed boxes left in the attic... and my first game was the Schoenfeld Cashman zamboni doors game... I fear if they run this back I just dont have the care in me to care... Pegula has literally killed the love of my favorite sport

Right on... Housley is my least favorite Sabre off all time... when he started berating his team for not going to the difficult places on the ice the abject hypocrisy of his mouth made me ill... Richard Smell Ick was another one... JJ was bad, but Kenny Sutton has got to be on that list... maybe Derek Roy as well... They actually might play for Marty just to get him to shut up LOL... Razor would be an interesting person to listen to after games... lol...

I think our internal shuffle thinking isn't giving Terry enough credit. How about Marty as head coach? Rob Ray as GM?

Damn, I was trying my best 😁

At least you didn't throw Housley's name in there uniting the entirely of the most hated triumverate of former Sabres this kid has known.

Clearly its because new GM Joe Juneau (Terry says he's a rocket scientist, you know) is trying to get Dick Smehlik signed on as zone exit coach before they announce anything.

More than 24 hours later. The autofellatio continues. NSFW

Which unfortunately doesn't really tell us anything new other than the meeting between the 2 has already happened. (And considering NOTHING official has happened yet; expecting no news is bad news...)

The 6'1 ", 182-pound Plymouth, Mich. native was a steady force for the Phantoms on the blue line, finishing fourth among USHL defensemen in scoring with 41 points in 55 games and finishing third on the team in assists with 31. Osburn had 19 power-play assists and 20 power-play points, tied for third among league blueliners. The Buffalo Sabres' fourth-round pick and Wisconsin commit finished the regular season with a +10 rating, helping the Phantoms to the second-lowest goals-against average in the league at 2.69. Osburn was named to the All-USHL First Team on Monday.

All the smashed sticks, I get it. I don't mind seeing it after a playoff loss. Dahlin is the only one that seems to care enough on this team.

How tall and big is he?
