Stoner Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Pegula's intro song tomorrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11fT8CwI3Zk That lean, mean, mean green... What time is the press conference?
Stoner Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Seriously... doesn't it make sense that some kind of announcement could really energize the team and fan base going into the second half? You'd think this would enter into a decision to announce this sooner rather than later.
gregkash Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Well it's monday. Where's my announcement? lol.
Patty16 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Mendola's sources maybe not as reliable? I havent seen anything, even a hint, that something is brewing today or even this week.
Stoner Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 My Monday morning question is what do these news organizations, and I use that term lightly, owe us in terms of explanation/apology when their big scoops fall through? Do they even care or are they just trying to jump on a big story and get some publicity? Beyond reporting the "buzz" that the Sabres are being sold, apparently true, I can't think of one substantive detail about this story that has turned out to be true. Now... please... let there be an announcement of a presser in the next hour!
PromoTheRobot Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Here's a thought: Does Pegula sit down with Darcy and tell him to make some deadline deals like his job depends in it...because it does? PTR
Stoner Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Here's a thought: Does Pegula sit down with Darcy and tell him to make some deadline deals like his job depends in it...because it does? PTR Great question. I am just not able to process the possibility that come next October, Darcy is still the GM. Same for Lindy. Why not tell him he's coaching for his job? Pegula will have 13 years as a body of work to look at. Forget six weeks.

Now... please... let there be an announcement of a presser in the next hour! If their scoops fall through, media sources lose credibility, which is really all they have. OTOH, have any reported substantive details turned out to be false? I think the lid on this has been tight enough so that nothing has been confirmed or refuted.

Pegula will have 13 years as a body of work to look at. Forget six weeks. I think both DR and LR understand that they are going to need to demonstrate to the new owner that they are worth keeping. Hopefully this means DR will pull the trigger on a couple of deals.

Now... please... let there be an announcement of a presser in the next hour! Maybe it's just me, but I just couldn't care any less about this story. With the emergence of Weber and Stafford, with the absence of Roy and Connolly :D , and with the new faces like Ennis and Adam, I've been much more interested in the changes of this team on the ice lately than I am in the changes off of it.
Stoner Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 OTOH, have any reported substantive details turned out to be false? I think the lid on this has been tight enough so that nothing has been confirmed or refuted. Ken Campbell had the deal closing before the end of the year. Bucky had Pegula in NYC meeting Bettman. Had to retract that to explain he was there to see a concert. (Still could have met Bettman I guess.) Nick Mendola had the deal "imminent." Imminent isn't measured in days. There was reporting that Pegula would attend the board of governors meeting. Unless they snuck him in (and denied it), he didn't Various reports of letters of intent shot down. (Quinn could be lying... nah.)
gregkash Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Why is there never fire when i really enjoy the smoke?
spndnchz Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Anyone have the internet down so well they can delve into SP's head and see when the pressers is?
ROC Sabres Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Anyone have the internet down so well they can delve into SP's head and see when the pressers is? I tried a few days ago. Got a 404: Brain Not Found
wjag Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 I tried a few days ago. Got a 404: Brain Not Found Reminds me of the very first error message I ever saw as a young pup going to RIT for Computer Science. This was back in the days of the VAX machine. We used to get a ubiquitious error meesage that said, "A603 Load Module does not exist". Can't remember much from those days any more, but I sure remember, A603... Always reminded me of a comment that would come from the Martian on Bugs Bunny.
X. Benedict Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 so the team isn't sold today, huh. Obviously the AI hasn't allowed it. :)
Stoner Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Anyone else think this thread can reach 1,000 posts before the sale is announced?
Two or less Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Anyone else think this thread can reach 1,000 posts before the sale is announced? Yes, for sure.
CallawaySabres Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Anyone else think this thread can reach 1,000 posts before the sale is announced? Bar Bill in EA has the best wings on the planet and there is no other establishment that can even come close!
SDS Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Please be courteous to your fellow posters/readers and stay on topic. I have split the OS discussion to a new thread.
wonderbread Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 For sure? Really? I know it can. You'll get it up to 1000 on your own. I hope it happens soon. This franchise needs an overhaul.
ROC Sabres Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Please be courteous to your fellow posters/readers and stay on topic. I have split the OS discussion to a new thread. Sorry about kinda spawning that. It kinda just happened. I still think we hear something before the puck drop tomorrow though.
gregkash Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 god i hope so. Is it possible, and I have no "sources that can't be named" for this, that the recent run of success these last few games may be holding it back. Cuz while fans are gonna view this as an awesome change, Players and coaches and GMs may get uneasy and it's possible they don't wanna throw anything off during a winning streak. Just a thought, doubt it's true.

Cuz while fans are gonna view this as an awesome change, Players and coaches and GMs may get uneasy and it's possible they don't wanna throw anything off during a winning streak. Just a thought, doubt it's true. No way. This is a multi-million dollar deal. This is Pegula's dream (hopefully) to own the team and this is a huge financial gain by TG. There is no way a 5-0-1 record or whatever by a 10th place team is going to slow the process. On that note, not sure what is slowing it....
