Ghost of Dwight Drane

Vanek and Miller just keep openly taking shots at Darcy. They pretty much are sealing the deal.

Thanks Physics....that's pretty funny.....

Lord help them....for they know not what they do.......

Well if Darcy convinced Pegula...."We can do better over the summer.....", he gets to hang on til then...then attempt to make moves in July.....and gets another year to "prove himself". To quote Donna Summer...."I Will Survive"

Can't find news on Big Ben....only hoax talk.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to make a "Kotalik" type trade and Send Stafford and a 3rd round pick somewhere for a "prospect", then buy out Leino this year...freeing up another $8 million? I'm scared for us all........all we have is each other now......and that's scary too! :wub:

Wait....the Rangers got rid of one of the top scorers of the 21st century and added scoreless grit? How could they ever win?....... :o ;)

Could Miller have been agreed to then Miller nixed it in his NTC?

Listening to Regier and McPhee negotiate a trade is probably as exciting as watching turtles courting each other for mating......

It would be ironic if we finally got Darcy to rid us of the core.....and WWIII starts days after.

Drew to North Korea for 200 cases of Kimchi Ramen

Thanks for one last Tyler Myers/ Jordan Leopold defensive zone action shot........

The only thing that wouldn't cause a riot is Ott and Pominville for Bobby Ryan.......there needs to be a grittyish type front line player coming back.

:w00t: Dude.....awesome!

Hey...it's like 6 AM Christmas Morning for hockey fans. We all want the same thing. We all just have different ideas on how to go about getting it.

Thanks for following up. Howard Simon is like the nicest guy going, and he calmly presented a great case....yet Black went snarky on him. And here we are today......

I'm not taking the bait.......can't get banned on trade deadline day!

http://audio.wgr550.com/a/50681670/1-12-ted-black-part-1.htm?q=ted+black+negativity+bubble At 9:43 and 14:33 But I suggest listening from 7:50 to the end. Howard Simon does a great job trying to paint the picture of what fans and media who are critical are thinking.....yet Ted Black is defiant and even snarky at times at dismissing critics. There are some grand statements in this one.....you may not want to be drinking anything while listening as it may project through your nasal cavity.......and you may want to drink heavily afterwards when you see where we are today.

I think Pegula lets Darcy know what he wants.....and Darcy tries to get it for him if it makes "some sense". I threw up LaCavalier and Ryan a few weeks ago because what I have seen and heard. You can hear Darcy's tone change saying they need more top players here.....Ted Black is finally verbally waiving the white flag a bit and is keeping an eye out on things. It's almost like Darcy is the interior decorator of a new house, and Pegula is the owner. You pretty much do what the owner wants even though you may not think it will look like you envisioned.....but you can still nudge the owner to certain decisions that fit the owner's plan in his head. I will try to find it on the audio vault at GR He certainly said critical fans are "In a Negativity Bubble" 100% certain.

Yeah....that's the thing. Even as a fan I appreciate how Pegula wants to treat people well, and even in the case of the fans he and the crew have tried some nice things. With all of the King's men on the payroll though.....guys who may like to say, "Holy cow, these players and management haven't gotten it done for years now....we need to make a drastic change in direction."......they hold back because if Pegula WANTS to believe things will be ok, you are risking upsetting the fun ride for yourself. there has been plenty of tacet headshaking I am sure, and the idea Bucky has relayed is probably going on. Guys who have seen it for 3 years and can't believe Regier still has Pegula charmed are just getting to the point of WTF? It would be nice to have a shot at winning a Cup someday....heck, even a playoff series.

How about last year when we were told contantly that this year would be better because "When your top players are all having their statistically worst seasons.....that's an anomoly and it can't happen again." Well, their top players for the most part have been healthy and the team is even worse.

The video has been up for a week..."Bucky + Sully Show"...... Pegula is convinced the media has it in for Regier and wants him gone. They talk about it for 5 minutes. When the editorial meeting came out during season 1 of Pegula's 3 seasons in charge....he took a very perplexing stance towards the media, and in using them as an excuse for the Sabres poor play. I've never heard anything like it personally. I think I should ask Terry how to make the horsies feel better when the toteboard reads 40-1 because the public doesn't think they will win. I know when a colt is charging down the lane in 12th place.....and he gets to the 1/8 pole.....and sees that 40-1 on the board.......he just packs it in. Then we have to call in the shrink for days after........ Here's the moral of Bucky's story if I may try to fill in the blanks...... Pegula wants to believe in Darcy and his vision, yet the results don't come anywhere close to a success. Fans and media have been chirping for years that Darcy isn't capable of winning anything. Pegula now has to deflect and deny reality.....so the only thing left is "Those awful media members"...... Remember.....last year Ted Black said on GR....."The fans that want to complain......they just live in a negativity bubble". Well Ted....where are we now? I think there are leaks coming from the organization from a few people that can't believe how Darcy can snakecharm Pegula and probably are a little nervous about the long term track of the team. In all honesty though, Pegula and his family treat everyone like gold, so it's hard to slap a guy across the face with a fish to wake him up professionally when he treats you so well personally.

Here's the $3 Billion question.......does Terry Pegula think a 2nd round pick in 2015 is worth as much as a 2nd round pick in 2013?......and can Darcy convince him with a straight face that he just landed 2 "2nd round picks" for him? If he does......we are F'd. I assume he doesn't.

Well....you shouldn't hate anyone.....but you can be disgusted when you spend an average of $80 to see 60 minutes of these fellas that were built by a GM who has made over $20 million the past 16 years and 5 going forward...... Don't hate! Identify....challenge.....change!
