  1. Agreed. But you wouldn’t think so reading TBD. Half of them hated the extension because …. Reasons. Besides, it’s always about the terms and conditions (I.e., the ‘fine print’).
  2. But if you don’t have a super fast processor how will you possibly keep up with all the Sabres’ moves at the trade deadline? /s. Obviously.
  3. True Lies. Jamie Lee Curtis? Yowzaa!
  4. I would think every opposing team in that stretch see the Sabres on their schedule and say 'There's an easy game. We will win that one'.
  5. That was my recollection as well. And, my goodness, did he ever loose that team by the end of his tenure.
  6. Can't really know what the agent meant by 'lack of involvement'. Lots of room for interpretation and nuance there. But there's no question TP can handcuff the team by his decisions and actions regardless of how they are described. Totally agree. I think things like setting an internal cap or not allowing retention is within the purview of the owner. It's semantics but I don't consider that meddling. If KA goes to TP and says we are going to sign player X for 7x$7M and TP nixes it, then that's meddling. TP should be setting the parameters by which the organization will operate then let his people do their jobs. Basically your last sentence if those are the parameters. And to be clear, I feel these examples, if true, are signs of short-sighted decision making by the owner and do not agree with them. Relatedly, if such parameters are being placed upon KA then TP needs to come out and say so. A leader of an organization should not sit quietly while putting a key subordinate in a position to take the slings and arrows ("I've been given all the resources I need") for those decisions. Maybe that was implied in the infamous EEE speech?
  7. I found it interesting that the agent cites TP for a 'lack of involvement', which is completely opposite of the opinion of most on this board (myself included). Bigger picture is that the agents' poor opinion/perception of the Sabres organization is a huge problem. But I'm sure they will feel better if their clients sign here on an overpay.
  8. Byrum with a front row seat to two power play goals against.
  9. Did Marty start the Bald for Bucks thing then quit halfway through?
  10. You can’t do 40 minutes in Alamo Mode, right? RIGHT???
  11. And Zucker too. No reason KA can’t make that happen.
