PromoTheRobot Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 LOL look slike Darcy existed with Shackles A good number of folks, including a certain newspaper columnist, were quite sure Darcy was incompetent. PTR
cmjoyce113 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 How negative can Sully be? How do you think he will spin this one? "Well since the Miami Heat spent all the money and didn't win the title the Sabres won't either..." No one is ruining my day at this point. I have some serious man love for Pegula
BuffaloSoldier2010 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Where do we build the statue? And can we start now or do we have to wait a few years?

I have some serious man love for Pegula Sully's job being Buffalo's party pooper will get harder, at least with the Sabres. Though the guy is creative. While on WGR yesterday he actually found a way to spin the Robyn Regehr trade like it was something bad. PTR

bunomatic Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Imagine how excited all the sabres players are with the happenings in the last week. Training camp, europe and the start of the regular schedule will be like a powder keg of possibilities with this franchise.

Chuck Norris Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Darcy is seen in a whole new light now. The man is a genius when given the resources
Taro T Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Darcy is seen in a whole new light now. The man is a genius when given the resources Let's wait and see how the new parts mesh w/ the old ones before we annoint him the 2000's version of Sam Pollock. But those who deemed him to be a short bus rider do seem to be a bit mistaken.

But those who deemed him to be a short bus rider do seem to be a bit mistaken. Your first sentence overrides your second sentence. Short bus status won't be determined until about All Star break time, maybe later than that. Just sayin'....
Taro T Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Your first sentence overrides your second sentence. Short bus status won't be determined until about All Star break time, maybe later than that. Just sayin'.... You really have that much animosity toward him that you won't even agree that he SEEMS to not be a short bus rider at the present time? Just askin' .... And I fully agree that his grades won't be in at the end of the weekend. Though that could be considered the 1st set of exams. I'd say mid-terms will be in after the trade deadline and in about 370 days we can give him a reasonable grade. (Considering he has ~14 years under previous management, I'd say that long under the new boss will be long enough to give him a reasonably accurate grade.)
PromoTheRobot Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 I seem to recall several threads about judging Regier come July 1. So what's the excuse now? PTR
Weave Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 You really have that much animosity toward him that you won't even agree that he SEEMS to not be a short bus rider at the present time? Just askin' .... I don't have any animosity towards the man. He's never done anything to me personally. I am witholding ALL judgement until I see what the team on the ice does. So far he's done what appear to be great things early with Rigas before the floor dropped out, seemed to catch a rules break, then *somebody* screwed the pooch player presonnel-wise. At this point my feeling is, "will the real Darcy Regier please stand up". He might be a short bus rider buoyed by a Daddy Warbucks. He might very well be the best GM in hockey to never have a bigtime budget to work with. He's most likely somewhere in between. I'm not deciding which until we have a sizeable number of games to judge from, that's all.

spndnchz Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Owner who spends money. Check. GM who makes the deals. Check It's up to you now Lindy.
... Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Owner who spends money. Check. GM who makes the deals. Check It's up to you now Lindy. No sh#t. I'm sure as the day wore on today, a lot of people were thinking the same thing. Lindy has the D now, there are no excuses there. They need to get the PP solid, and Lindy needs to "get through" to the guys who are supposed to be scoring. He has two and half months to get it right. :o
PromoTheRobot Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 I think the last two days shows that GMs are only what their bosses let them be. No GM can make deals without the okay from "the old man." Are all the other low-budget NHL clubs that way only because they have a stupid incompetent GM? PTR
