My God Kevyn isn’t even functioning at this point. Please step in NHL and do something here.

Can Gary Bettman step in and tell Terry, “We are assigning Ken Holland to run the team and make all hockey related decisions. This mess has to be cleaned up.”

Imagine travelling back in time and telling everyone that this guy will turn this franchise into the laughingstock of all sports and will not make the playoffs once under his guidance. How does Terry look in the mirror? ”No Mr. Black, not Hockey Heaven, it becomes Hockey Hell”

0 for 14 as owner. The one thing Pegula hasn’t done in this awful period is hire a vet NHL guy to lead the franchise. It’s the one thing he has left to try. He has proven he has no idea how to identify and build a strong front office. Let a seasoned NHL guy give it a go.

You can’t know who will be part of the solution until you have the right people in place above the team. 1) Terry needs to F the Hell off. He needs to realize he has no clue what he’s doing and FINALLY realize he needs vet NHL people in here to guide the ship and make the decision. A Ken Holland type at the top. And they don’t need Terry’s input everyday. Back off and let them cook. 2) Let him hire a competent vet GM, someone respected that can attract quality assistant GMs. Then hire a quality coach who is respected and can attract quality assistant coaches. 3) Let them figure out a vision and path forward. Once that is completed then you can start deciding who among this group can be part of the solution. 4) All of this is only possible if Terry opens up the purse strings to allow it to happen.

I feel an angry Adams PC coming. He is practicing his angry face in the mirror. “I’m pissed off! I’m angry! Our fearless leader flew in and gave an amazing speech and our players didn’t respond. The onus is in that room. We are not firing or trading anyone and it has nothing to do with Terry not wanting to spend any money. Absolutely not!!!”

Pegula moves him up to the front office soon I feel.

Hear me out: a Sabres Patreon where you pay and get to listen in on the daily calls between Adams and Pegula. You can hear Adams gravelling and sucking up to Oegula and telling him all his ideas are great. I picture a Mr Burns-Smithers type relationship.😜

Can they send Benson to the WJCs tonight. Just get him away from this. Send Kulich down to Rochester. Save the children😛

I wish they had a cam fixed in the box on Adams the whole game so we could see his reaction to this game.

I’m at the point where I just want to see them keep losing so something will happen. Unfortunately this is like the 5th time we have been here in the past 8 years.

Just checked the score. Great to see Terry’s leadership and message got through to the team.

I think Schaefer might be the best of the crop. See how he is at the WJC but at the Prospects Challenge he was hands down the best player, dominating in all 3 zones. Now Hagens didn’t play in that Challenge so WJC will be interesting to watch. I would take him and trade Power and Byram for offensive help.

Word is after Pegula’s speech Tage stood up and said “This could have been an email Terry” and just walked out. 😜

What could possibly go wrong? 🤣 I look forward to the extensive search Forton does before deciding on Appert.

Karmanos or his buddy Forton or Ventura. Someone already under contract so it won’t cost Terry a penny. As seen with the assistant coaches, they are not spending any more money on new people. Remember they have to retain their lifestyle!

Translation: Pegula “I’m not spending anymore money. None. I’m not firing anyone to bring on new salaries. I’m not trading anyone and bringing in more salary. The solution has to be in this room because it’s not coming from outside this room at all.”

Someone wrote that Terry flew to Montreal to inform them that he was no longer paying for ice time so all practices are cancelled. I laughed😁
