Oh great scum bag ties it

Yea. I knew the fork was needed the moment it was started 😂

Now to change the focus to the Bruins. GO ISLES GOOOOO!!!

Oh sooo delicious ….

GO HABS GOOOOO

Yea but but but some sports fans LIVE for the drama. Kinda like a daytime soap opera. Without the tension, drama, and negative thoughts of their favorite sports team, they are forced (subconsciously perhaps) to make stuff up as if that drama is what’s happening. Then react in a strong negative way about those fantasy “most likely happening” scenarios. Guiding Adams As the joke of a franchise turns Pegulas world All my terrible roster General disarray Days of self pity and quagmire The young and the injury prone The bold and the mismanaged Take your pick! Some fans follow these soaps all day everyday. Just look at some of the threads created 😂

Yea, I’d rather the Sabres be like Colorado. Not like Boston. I prefer Colorado style over Boston style.

Ehrhoff, Leino, Okposo, Staal Sorry I had to be “that guy”. It was driving me crazy 😂

Wooooo hoooo off of Bogosian 😂😂😂😂😂😂

C’mon Isles. Win the next one.

Shhhhhh 😬

Good. Keep the process moving. Let the chips fall where they may…

There’s fair criticism, and then there’s pure immature ignorant insults. I’m seeing both in this thread. Edits should be in order. Keyword … should.

Those 2-7 round draft pick threads I made I thought shed some light on the “hit rate” of teams in the 10 year span I listed. Sabres were middle of the pack. Not the worst, not the best … for most years.

Yea that’s heavy handed. Was that recent? I wonder if that policy will garner attention of the owners and Bettman.

I don’t want the Pegulas to sell the team… Going forward, I just want them to stay out of hockey decisions and just write checks. Unless some decision is massively wrong. So much so that it requires a firing of a GM. Other than that stay out of hockey decisions. I also find nothing wrong with them being briefed through phone calls or zoom meetings or in person meetings about the state of the organization and hockey team. And they are more than welcome to give their opinion… With the understanding that those opinions may not be adhered to or followed. Because they are leaving the decisions 100% up to hockey people. ”but but but don’t you think their opinions will influence the direction of the teams decisions”. it could, unless the GM 100% agrees with their opinion as well. just because they are in agreement doesn’t mean that the GM is following exactly what the owners want because they said so. key word … moving forward …

They consider STH as full season, and mini pack holders. IF they release the numbers, you and a few others won’t believe the numbers, so there’s that. Unless of course the numbers embarrass the owners. Then you’ll believe it. Amirite? I would bet there won’t be more than a 10-15% drop in STH’ers. I’ve been a STH since 2004, and I won’t cancel mine. And I know 12 out of 14 other STH’ers I know who aren’t either. So there’s that.

I watched most games … in the background of doing other busy work around the house. Prior years i wouldn’t do that. 35% makes sense.

What do you mean? Nice try. I was honestly trying to recall the interviews that have been reported. Nothing more. I agree if Sullivan gets the boot, KA should interview him.

So we know … Greg Carvel Bruce Boudreau Rick Tocchet Don Granato Any other confirmed interviews?

Nice job Isles. Good to see the Pens go away early. Is Mike Sullivan on the hot seat?

I’ve eaten many varieties and brands of Veggie burgers. IMO, Morningstar, Quorn, Gardein, Beyond, and Impossible are among the best brands. Dr. Praeger's, Boca, and Incogmeato are not very good IMO.

See, I took it as “analytics has its place and is very useful and can be influential, but it won’t rule my decision making”.
