Leino Speaks About His Sabres Experience

[Brawndo]

My Buffalo time was pretty bad overall. I was disappointed for the players and the organization and I think they are going to be like that. It’s hard to play in the NHL if you don’t have a good team. Obviously, that was kind of a tough time but sometimes life goes hard and you have to bounce back."

What really happened in Buffalo? I mean, in Philadelphia it seemed like you career was on an upswing, you play fantastic hockey and then you sign in Buffalo and things don’t quite work out…

"There’s a huge difference between teams. NHL is hard, you have to have chemistry, a good line, you have to have a good team to win, a good coach and GM and everything in place. Like we were just talking about those great organizations, Philly, Detroit, they were that, Buffalo is not that. They, well, during my time they fired two coaches, GM had to go, they just have 2-3 players that used to be there when I got there. They are going to struggle for the next couple of years. It seems like everything went wrong, I mean, I was injured all the time and then, obviously, I had a lot of pressure with the money and I think the last year, they were just trying to get through it and buy me out after the season anyway. I could sense that, I knew it was coming. It’s hard to play when everything goes against you every day and you don’t kind of know what the situation is so I’m just glad that’s over with."

"Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood."

[X. Benedict]

Lieno was placed on earth to accomplish one thing. Now that he has done that one thing, he can play hockey in Croatia.

[darksabre]

Shut up Ville.

[Stoner]

First Ehrhoff and now Leino. Terry owns everything except those decisions.

What's the problem with Ehrhoff? The guy didn't want to stick around for a rebuild at his age. Can't blame him. It's not like he didn't play well here.

 

Until someone shows me a connection between Pegula and Leino, I'm not buying that he had anything to do with it..

[pi2000]

everything he said isn't untrue

[Johnny DangerFace]

I have no problem with the Hoff's comments. This guy is just a useless goof

[Wyldnwoody44]

This organization is a train wreck.... Right now..... But these guys make millions to do something we'd prolly all love to do.... I went to school for a decade + to go to a job I don't really like, and I whine less about it than many athletes. These guys need to realize the position they are in and how lucky they really are

I'm pretty sure, though, that if you worked at a hospital where there was feces and blood all over the floor with a 100% mortality rate for anyone who came in, and then you went to one that was clean and hopeful where people were actually saved, you'd complain about the former as well, even if they were still paying you a boatload of money.

Does the feces hospital have pizza logs?

It's a circumstantial case, yes. But I take it you do accept the idea that it was Terry who pushed for Ehrhoff? Doesn't seem like it would be a huge leap to think the same way about the Leino signing. Did it seem like Regier's M.O., or was someone else holding the brush?

 

I know I could get a conviction if Judge Smell's backload of cases ever eased. Hey, with the recent spate of Kim Pegula photos, maybe that has already happened. heyooo.

[TheMatrix31]

Eat my taint, Ville. Maybe the team wouldn't have been such a disaster had your worthless ass performed even in the ###### slightest.

 

Guy whines about not being able to perform because of the environment here yet nobody else wanted his ###### ass so he went and signed with some piddly ass Russian league team. Yeah, Russia is a ###### BEACON of stability.

 

God, what a detestable piece of ###### that guy is. Never wanted him to begin with.

No. Not every comment made with passion is "Did he ###### your wife or something?" "Dude, you need to get laid." "Did he run over your cat?"

 

Just pissed that this jabroni stole all that money, didn't do a damn thing to live up to it, and then blames it on the team as if it's their fault, even though he can't even get another job in the NHL.

 

I ###### hate when people on the internet reply with stupid ass, trite ###### like that.

Ok, I hear you. One time, Spndnchz, replied to me "you mad bro?" and it made me very very upset. she just needed to get laid, I figger

Lol I'm in the business of baby delivery, every hospital's maternity ward has feces and blood all over the floor. I know what you mean and I see where you're coming from, but I don't feel bad for the guy in the least bit. It'd be like me botching a procedure then turning around and blaming the 2nd year resident

 

And yes pizza logs account for 3% of the hospital profits ;)

If he had half a brain he would have just kept his mouth shut but I don't think he's any sort of genius

Just pissed that this jabroni stole all that money.

 

And still stealing a fabulous fortune. Per Cap Geek;

 

• 2014-15: $1,722,222
  
• 2015-16: $2,222,222
  
• 2016-17: $2,222,222
  
• 2017-18: $1,222,222
  
• 2018-19: $1,222,222
  
• 2019-20: $1,222,222
  

That's right. He's one of the highest paid people in the world, paid to sit on his ass and do absolutely NOTHING, and write memoirs about his "bad experience" at the Sabres.

 

And astonishingly, his pay goes UP next year to 2.2 million. Incredible.

Yeah, I was justy sayin'. While I do understand what where he is coming from, and it is pretty telling about the Sabres organization what he and Erhrhrhrhrhroff said,… STFU Ville. Good teams are made up good players who play good [sic]. You weren't good.
