The first ownership philosophy emerged from stability — keep Lindy and Darcy and throw money at the problem. The first change was accompanied by tanking. The second change brought a quick re-build. The third change — who TF knows what that was all about? One final stab at Steel City magic? The fourth great extinction is at hand. Homegrown leadership but also back to the future: the owner has said he thinks the team is a contender now, so presumably he's ready to throw money around again. Terry simply has no clue what he's doing. Down in OP, maybe, very possibly. After all, he's described himself a football guy. But not downtown. When the person you're wooing to be the new GM tells you he's not qualified, it should have been a major clue to order dessert and get the hell out of there. Instead, Terry offered him an even bigger and more complicated role. Truly unbelievable.

It is simple. I have to pay homage to SwampD. I don't know how many times we did the post on/post off drill. He finally became a master baiter extraordinaire. My boy! But, yeah, this thread is an affront to humanity.

The decision on the extent of the tank was a single decision. (That decision, according to Darcy anyway, was made by Terry.)
-
Well, yeah, but there's an even bigger blunder above that.

A good way of looking at this is whether you'd give your mother's dose to Jack Eichel. Well...

By definition, you are. Every vaccine that goes to a young, healthy pro athlete is one that doesn't go to someone judged by a particular state to need the vaccine more. We are not close to having vaccinated all of the people who are, for once, at the front of the line. I do not agree that the NHL is a vital part of the economy.

This is clunky, but what if we go old school (pre-OT) and say the Sabres are 2-4-4 (W-L-T) with a 2-2 record in a post-tie exhibition worth one point? 2-4-4. No bueno.

Testing positive three days after exposure is within the range of the incubation period (2-14 days). But the average is five days.

Serious question. If I have close contact with someone who tests positive for Covid, I have to quarantine for 14 days. How are the Sabres playing a game tomorrow? And how would they have played tonight, presumably, if it hadn't snowed 10 feet in NYC? -

Thanks, Irwin. -
Still believes in plus minus. You coach the team, Lindy!
-
Love ya, but you just proved my point from three years ago.

I mean, if he's going to be the new GM at the end of this season or the end of next season (if still available), why wait? Or make him the prez to groom KA and let him bring in his own coach.

That's a shift that could result in a retirement and a coach getting fired. -

This is the Sabre-est game ever. In fact, after the second, I was thinking that period could be put into a time capsule to represent the entire history of the franchise. -

So you wanna be an NHL goalie? Helmet off and skates flash before your eyes.
