Brawndo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 We have a charming, competitive, thoughtful, well-respected icon running the hockey department — who knows people and whose name will open any door. We have an edgy, aggressive, workaholic general manager whose claim to fame is his comprehensive knowledge of players and his ability to evaluate their worth. And we have a legendary advisor who is laid-back, thoughtful, has seen it all, and won it all. I'm not sure if I could have asked for a better team to lead the franchise. Perfect Statement Quote
Two or less Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Man, LaFontaine has really transformed our hockey department into arguably the best in hockey. Craig Patrick is a huge addition. Quote
darksabre Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Andrew Peters: "Are you still mad at me for fighting your goalie?" :lol: Now that's the kind of question that needs asking. Take notes Jerry, et. al. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Alright Callahan and Kane! New Braintrust working on it right now Kane would fit as the free agent piece to put you over the top!! Quote
Derrico Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 @WGR550 #Sabres GM Tim Murray on his financial philosophy "If you're a good team you have to spend to the cap." Shot at Melnyk? Quote
spndnchz Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 "Leadership Group" I like that one. Could never say that with Darcy's team. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Man, LaFontaine has really transformed our hockey department into arguably the best in hockey. Craig Patrick is a huge addition. This and an owner willing to spend millions on the team, the future is certainly bright!! Quote
Iron Crotch Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 I need to say/type this one more time... "F Darcy!" :P Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Shot at Melnyk? I think he's too classy for that and Uncle Terry is still there. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Mike Harrington @BNHarrington11m After main presser, LaFontaine says #Sabres definitely interested in keeping Miller if he wants to stay. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 This is the best day in Sabreland since their first draft pick ever. Quote
Assquatch Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 I sure hope we still win trade deadlines :rolleyes: Quote
Eleven Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 I actually think the Craig Patrick part of this is bigger news than Murray's coronation. Quote
nucci Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 This is the best day in Sabreland since their first draft pick ever. Many said the same thing when Pegula was hired. Let's let these guys fix this team first. This and an owner willing to spend millions on the team, the future is certainly bright!! This was also said when Pegula was hired. Quote
Peter Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Tim Murray seems like a great hire. I also like the fact that he seems like a no nonsense guy who will not put up with the BS from the Buffalo News guys. He has been groomed for this day his entire life. As an aside, except for Paul Hamilton, Tim Graham, and John W, most of the guys who cover the Bills and Sabres are horrible. To think how far the quality of the Buffalo News has gone down since guys like Jim Kelley and Vic Carucci. Bucky, Sully, and Bucky/Sully protégé Harrington are horrible. I also absolutely love the Craig Patrick hire. Great addition to the Sabres. Miracle in Buffalo. Edited January 9, 2014 by Peter Quote
Assquatch Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 This was also said when Pegula was hired. And is still true. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 That's what hiring Pat LaFontaine buys you. Craig ###### Patrick. Yes. WGR 550 @WGR5505m Patrick on why he signed on with the #Sabres : "It's all about Pat (LaFontaine) for me." Yes!!! Boom. Pat LaFontaine is like f*cking Moses. MOSES LaFONTAINE. Quote
papazoid Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 one scenario is better than the other.... Pat Lafontaine, Craig Patrick & Tim Murray or Darcy Regier ?? happy dance !! Quote
nucci Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 And is still true. and we are arguably the worst team in hockey a few short years later. Quote
Taro T Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 I actually think the Craig Patrick part of this is bigger news than Murray's coronation. Agreed. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Today is a good day. Damn good day. Quote
nucci Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 I actually think the Craig Patrick part of this is bigger news than Murray's coronation. Agree. Successful, proven FO guy Quote
Iron Crotch Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 I bet "Frackmaster-T" is happy Quote
Assquatch Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 and we are arguably the worst team in hockey a few short years later. Then the owner must suck. All benefits from ownership change should be immediate. There can't be any long term benefits from the locker room to the weight room to bringing quality hockey people onboard and flexibility with contracts. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 There is one in every crowd. The one that insists on tossing a big turd into the punch bowl. Quote
