I like the kids. I like Adams. I like Granato. Some will scoff, but my posting history speaks for itself — I like a lot of what Pegula has brought and can continue to bring as an owner. I almost feel like Jack finally popped that pimple, releasing a lot of pressure, and now healing can begin. But what's missing? Adams needs help. The kids need help. Granato needs help. And Terry, perhaps most of all, needs help. I think Granato is smart enough to bring in experienced assistants, ideally one of which has been a head coach at the NHL level (Lindy was never smart enough, but that's another story). I think Adams is smart enough to know that the old core needs to go and some of the return needs to be the right guys for this situation, guys who can mentor the kids. I tend to doubt that Terry is self-aware enough to realize he has a problem. The answer is obvious. Jim Rutherford as POHO. (If other impressive people are out there and available, subsitute them for Rutherford.) He'd sit squarely between TP and KA. He'd ask for ID if Terry ever tried to get in the GM's door. He'd help Kevyn build the right chemistry. I'm reasonably excited right now. I'd be over the moon if Rutherford signed up. I also need to hear confirmation that Adams actually did go to Florida to lay down the law with the Pegs.

Did this get glossed over here? Adams stated several times that the rest/watch and wait period of about 12 weeks from time of injury will be up in late May/early June. It seems like the Sabres will either be proven right by then or Eichel will have a much bigger argument for surgery. They're kicking the can down the road, so to speak.

I haven't seen anything definitive on Jack's neck situation. My impression of the hit on Long Island was that something pre-existing contributed to it. Just the way his neck got kind of stuck against the glass... I'm spitballing. It would be nice to know. If it's a one-off, that's one thing. But if Jack has some kind of chronic issue...

Dayum.

I give the Sabres a fair amount of credit for posting the video of the presser and publishing an article like this. It's good service for the fans. (And, more than likely, the team knows that in 2021, there's no hiding or whitewashing it.)

At least one of you is running for Sabres Fan President or something. Talk about flip flop. -
Clockwise, I take it. But what happens when a fan goes south of the equator?

I don't think Ted Black is relevant here. Or, if he is, what about Kim as current team president? Is it working? LaFontaine's tale isn't all that instructive either. It didn't work for the Pegulas because LaFontaine discovered he wasn't a POHO in any sense of the title. That's on Terry et al, not Pat.

I want to read it backwards.
