You're agenda appears to be to convince us that Tim Murray is not fit to be our GM. That he is intellectually out of his depth, especially when it comes to dealing with the press and speaking spontaneously. That he made a grievous tactical error by not immediately gushing forth with high praise for Eichel and how happy we are to get him. And that you can tell far more about Tim Murray through his unprepared remarks rather than vice-versa. I'm sure I'll be able to additionally frame your agenda as you continue to spout on, but I think that's enough of a big picture overview of what your agenda seems to be. GO SABRES!!!

This is inspired. I predict it will end up as somebody's signature. For some reason, I kept thinking of Jimmy in 'Seinfeld.' Now you're just being coy. Or is that koi? GO SABRES!!!

And I'm glad you recognize that. It's unfortunate that you can't also see that Murray said some good things last night as well. I don't need to "have at it." You're doing a good enough job of that on your own here. It's obvious that you have an agenda. When one focuses on only one aspect of that press conference, it's the only conclusion I can draw. GO SABRES!!!

That would be the hypocrite's box. Unless, of course, you're ok with having something you've said at a given point in your life serve to be what defines you from that point on. Nothing Murray can do or say moving forward can satisfy you at any point in the future. He had one chance to convince you and he blew it last night. I imagine you won't be conflicted at all if and when he turns us into contenders. He'll still be that babbling idiot from last night, no matter how many cups he may lead us to. GO SABRES!!! I'd put more weight in your remarks if they were more off the cuff rather than scripted, X. It's like everything you say comes out of a can. GO SABRES!!!

There's still plenty of room in the box for you to add more stupid things Murray says that you can forever hold him to. Because, you know, his entire career in hockey can be confined to stupid comments made in a 10 minute presser. GO SABRES!!!

Hated to see the Jets lose that heartbreaker last night. It was a microcosm of my frustration with Myers over the years as he got abused on that goal last night. He has got to be stronger than that. I think the home crowd will urge the Jets to tie this series before it goes back to SoCal.

Got milk? GO SABRES!!!

So Murray is boxed in and tied to his remarks last night no matter what he says about how great it will be to draft Eichel moving forward. Got it. How about we put you in the same box moving forward? GO SABRES!!!

It's not about the media tricking people. It's about choosing to frame the narrative out of context. You shouldn't expect Murray to be more than what he is. We would all prefer he say the perfect things at the right time all the time. When he spends the next couple months heaping more praise on Eichel as the draft approaches and the media continue to contrast those comments with those from last night, will you appreciate the contrast or seek to hold what he said in the heat of an emotionally charged moment as the one and only true indication of his feelings? The media have already made up their minds. Have you? GO SABRES!!!

Am I to believe Murray was being disingenuous in his effusive praise of Eichel in that presser? As usual, the media are framing a narrative out of context. I'm not surprised some have chosen to agree. Being disappointed in not landing McDavid does not mean being unhappy about getting Eichel. Not even close. GO SABRES!!!

Nice take here. Thanks for trying to track down this quote. I think it was an embellishment of his presser comments. This will be a distant memory when Eichel is taking the opening face off of the season next October. He's at least our best C since Patty and my hunch is he'll end up being the best since Bert by the time it's over. GO SABRES!!!

Well now, you really do have some respect for the process. I'm impressed with your dogged determination not to keep making an ass of yourself. Well done. I'm even less worried about the comment now that I've seen the context of the remark. GO SABRES!!!

Tells who? And again, there is no context at all. None. Regardless of your seemingly agenda driven need to link it to the lottery results. I'm done with you until you can provide relevant information. In the meantime, we all get you are disappointed for the fans in the meantime. GO SABRES!!!

At this point, there's nothing to suggest that Murray made this remark at all. GO SABRES!!!

I've heard others make that comparison. I think it's a combination of his long skating strides, which make him deceptively fast (he's at full speed in two strides) and his longer hockey stick which conjures up images of Lemieux. GO SABRES!!!

Well, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean "I'm disappointed for the fans" when he said weeks ago that he can't stop looking at McDavid when he watches him play. I can see how it makes perfect sense for you to just throw random quotes out there and insist they all mean the same thing. You know, for someone making so much fun of Murray's infatuation with McDavid, you sure seem like a jilted prom date since learning we won't be drafting him. GO SABRES!!!

Thanks, Liger. I'b be interested to know if it's in there. The first time I listened, I didn't hear that. Murray seemed annoyed at the process, but had glowing remarks about Eichel. GO SABRES!!!

He said that weeks ago. WHAT'S THE CONTEXT THOUGH, INDEED!!! GO SABRES!!!

That comment could be about anything which is why context is important. Until I know what the context is, it's just your incessant need to keep projecting your personal disappointment about having to settle for Eichel. And most fans with a clue would be more disappointed about not having pizza logs until October than about drafting Jack Eichel. GO SABRES!!!

So then you don't know the context of Murray's remark regarding the fans being disappointed. Perhaps you could have just admitted that instead of projecting your own profound sense of disappointment at not winning the lottery. GO SABRES!!!

Gee thanks, bud. Like that's obvious from a captured screen shot of a tweet. Some of us just aren't as "in the twitter know" like you. Very impressive. So did Murray say he's sorry for our fans because we didn't win the lottery or not? GO SABRES!!!

The time stamp is two and a half hours before the lottery. What's the context? GO SABRES!!!

YoloinOhio, from Off the Wall at TwoBillsDrive was kind enough to post this over there: Gotta love Aaron Williams. GO SABRES!!!

But another generational talent did end up in the East. His name is Jack Eichel. GO SABRES!!!

And just what is the talent difference between the two? GO SABRES!!!
