... me too.

 

This isn't the mafia ... "family" could / should be fired.

Even in the mafia, family may knock-off one another.... allegedly, from what I hear, and movies... yea movies

What about the twinkie?

 

Reminded me of this joke:

A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake. The barber says to her, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your Twinkie." She says, "Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too."

What is the sense of arguing, they sold the season tickets, fans come because they bought the tickets, therefore they purchase refreshments. This summer we will have a big berating session, geyt a couple of mediocre players and start again. Nothing, I repeat nothing will happen till they get a GM who can make trades and help form a team. Then a coach who explains to the players that he is not their mother and they will do what he says or they are gone. Then sign no contract longer than 2 years unless it has a clause in it to cover poor play. Then rebuild the team period, everybody is expendable, if they don't want to play. We don't need guys going for a skate then go read their financial reports. NOTE! One nice thing about listening to the game on radio, you hear how these guys constantly shoot wide, doubt if they could hit the net if it was 10 feet wide. Right now they should have at least 2 hours practice a day, puck shooting, oh sorry, forgot that cuts into their financial news time.

You do realize that no one would sign with them if they were only giving out short term deals and that incentive based deals like that aren't allowed, right? But hey, facts be damned.

... a very disfunctional family at that.... as for sticking up for each other... the only one doing that these days seems to be Pegula.. UGH!!

 

Disfunctional families are fun to watch. Come on, who doesn't chuckle at the Simpsons or Family Guy? This Sabres family is just...... meh.

found this gem in another thread that was bumped from a year ago or so.

 

I'm getting the opposite vibe. He said they never lost an employee at East Resources? Did Terry have a problem firing people? All one big family. Family men don't throw the kids to the curb when they announce they're gay.

 

Terry channeled Larry Quinn and mentioned the injury to Miller two years ago costing the Sabres a playoff spot. Blamed the injury to Vanek for losing the series against the B's. Bragged about finishing ahead of the Pens in the regular season last year.

 

Come on, this is weak. If LQ had said it, he'd be roasted alive. And was roasted here regularly. Some of you have forgotten why you were so excited about Pegula coming in.

 

It's almost like the Perreault Moment was designed to take the fan base out at the knees. I loved it, but it's not going to color my opinion on the future.

 

Sounds like this scenario could play out. Sabres miss the playoffs this season, make it next, win a round, then miss the next season, as is the MO of Lindy and Darcy. So Darcy's contract is up, but Terry talks about injuries, the negative vibe in Buffalo he still hasn't been able to change, maybe a bad call in a big game, and hey we finished second in the conference that playoff year. And supports Darcy. Oh yeah, Lindy has another year left on his contract, so... nobody's going anywhere.

 

It really is a nightmare for a lot of fans. It's a form of torture, actually. Drip, drip, drip. Lindy and Darcy, Year 26.

Thanks for the memory's and yes I do miss PA. He had a keen eye for details and was an able debater some might say a .......

 

 

...come out, come out where ever you are PA, we know you must be lurking. You deserve a mea culpa from a lot of folks here and I offer mine even though you don't need it from me. ;)

I'm gonna laugh when it turns out chz is really an old hairy dude in his attic.

 

Ink and I called that one from the outset.

 

I think we were wrong though. But it was a good way to try and keep the creep factor down.

Someone (PA I think) used to post the most disgusting picture of who he thought chz really was when she first started posting. It this half naked 600+ lb guy sitting at a computer, the most disgusting image I've ever seen on this board (well, other than every post made by Eleven). It was a running joke for a while.

Ok, now I regret mentioning it. I'm also about to regret mentioning that I don't think that's the one. There was some fat old guy at a computer.

 

Stop it. Stop it now.

Whoa! I wonder if he takes any solace nailing it spot on or is miserable like the rest of us. I'm going with miserable, he's a true fan. I miss him.
