  1. Imo, he is an autistic personality. I enjoyed his eccentricity in a vacuum, but you can't make complex prudential judgments without awareness of the human element.
  2. No one has been good, but I like Botterill because he stood up to Terry. Of course, that's why he was let go.
  3. Infinite parallel universes, and you keep coming back to the one where the Sabres have no hope.
  4. Just an immense lack of wisdom in the positions of authority. It starts with the owner.
  5. Did it involve licking toads in a dark cave?
  6. I would use one as a trade chip. I don't see them trading both. I guess I would keep Power, even though he annoys the hell out of me.
  7. I'm not sure this is allowed, but I commend the effort. There is talent on the team, and just fixating on the doom spiral isn't any better than KA hoping against hope that the young core will magically mature into a well-constructed roster. I'm not spending hours contemplating what I have no control over, but my rough sense is they thought they were going to drive play with puck moving defense, with Dahlin, Power, and Byram being the strength of the team. This now appears a risible hope, and if there was another GM in place, I'd expect at least one of Power or Byram to be part of a package to bring in a strong, defense first top 4 D. Do that, and bring in a steady, competent goalie, and you might at least plausibly entertain a better future.
  8. Those Winnipeg fellas are touchy, because they live in a big city, but it's in Canada and no one cares.
  9. I never realized till lately how passive aggressive Pollyanna was. Or perhaps this is dystopian irony and Orwellian satire. Either way, it's the perfect mood music for the late Sabres charge to .500.
  10. That's really a brutal and rather appalling piece of rhetoric. Everyone is very sorry about what happened to Kim. I doubt anyone here lacks compassion for Terry Pegula the human being. That doesn't absolve him of responsibility for the state of the Sabres, and fourteen years of abject failure. If it was too much for him to bear, he could sell or let capable hockey folk make decisions.
  11. Stubborn and dumb is the formula for perpetual failure.
  12. If the Sabres were good, plenty would come to the games. It's easy to make a political gesture when it costs you nothing.
  13. Nice gesture. Really? Everyone knows he's a powerpuff.
