Kelly the Dog Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 I could change my mind when more info comes out but to me, this looks poorly on LaFontaine. If he had a beef with Murray or Pegula and wanted to take a stand, fine. If he wanted Nolan to stay on as coach and would resign if that didn't happen, fine. But to do it after the trade and with 4-5 days before the deadline isn't the right time to take a stand on that, even if he wanted to say after he resigned next week that he wasn't directly involved in the trade discussions.

Sabresfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Wow. I want to know why before I pass judgement. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Yay team.... Well we all said we were gonna be surprised by a move this week, here we go :/ Quote
Peppy22 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Pat is gone, I already moved on... Seems like everyone is making a by far bigger story out of it then it should be. Quote
North Buffalo Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 If LF is gone and Teddy is gone so I am... hmm the Blues have the same colors... p.s. I am joining a men's league team called the iceholes. If this is true FU Sabres... Quote
nucci Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 True dat What?? If LF is gone and Teddy is gone so I am... hmm the Blues have the same colors... p.s. I am joining a men's league team called the iceholes. If this is true FU Sabres... ok, see ya Quote
Stoner Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 So the company line is that Pat was hired to lead the team through a transition period. Do they think we're idiots? Quote
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Matt Barnaby is talking BIG talk on twitter and I don't think he knows jack squat. he only made one tweet... Quote
Johnny DangerFace Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Not to mention this is now a pattern by PLF. Ill wait for details, but can't imagine a good enough reason PLF do this. There should be no conflict over Nolan or trades, Murray is our GM Quote
Kr632 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 What does this mean for patrick? He said he came here because of Lafontaine. And what is Lafontaines problem? Quote

Darryl Shannon's +/- Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Knowing zero details, I think the person who looks bad out of this is LaFontaine. This is now twice that he's up and run away from front office jobs before even settling in to get comfortable. I do think that Nolan is in big trouble though.... Quote
darksabre Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 he only made one tweet... He's been tweeting non stop for the past three hours. Quote
X. Benedict Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Patty leaves without buying out Leino. I'm not impressed. All kidding aside......So he thanks Terry and players but not his colleagues? “Terry Pegula hired me in November and my primary objective was to lead the Sabres organization through a time of transition,” said Pat LaFontaine. “I'm proud of what we've been able to accomplish in a short period of time and want to thank Terry and Kim Pegula for the opportunity and their support during my time with the Sabres. I also want to convey my best wishes to all of the players in the Sabres organization and to wish them the best of success in the future. Most importantly, I want to convey my heartfelt appreciation to the great fans of the Sabres for the way I have been treated here as a player and as an executive.” Edited March 1, 2014 by X.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 What does this mean for patrick? He said he came here because of Lafontaine. And what is Lafontaines problem? The Sabres said that Patrick is staying on in his position, but who knows for how long. Quote
K-9 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 If LF is gone and Teddy is gone so I am... hmm the Blues have the same colors... p.s. I am joining a men's league team called the iceholes. If this is true FU Sabres... Aren't they coached by Roman Maroni? Fargin' corksorkers! GO SABRES!!! Quote
rickshaw Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Patty came in, did what was asked of him and is going back to his less stressful nhl job. Clearly Patty is not suited for these executive roles cuz he's jumped ship twice now. The team has a gm that has some stones and will do what's best for the team. Lafontaine, great guy, hockey player. Terrible nhl team exec. Much ado about nothing IMO. Quote
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 I say we should wait for the facts to come out and reserve judgment Quote

Lafontaine, great guy, hockey player. Terrible nhl team exec. Much ado about nothing IMO. I agree with you on all of this, but I still would hope Ted Nolan would stay. I'm not sure if he is the best coach, but I'm also not sure he isn't, and I like the guy. In a perfect world, I want the Sabres to get younger and get top picks AND have a coach I like. Quote
North Buffalo Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 I say we should wait for the facts to come out and reserve judgment If Nolan as well as Patty are gone does this mean the Sabres are moving to Hamilton... I smell a conspiracy. Quote
X. Benedict Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Patty thanks Terry Pegula and Fans but not his colleagues as he leaves. I think Tim Murray just survived his first pissing contest with the guy that hired him. I'm smiling because I think Murray's our guy. Quote
