Pimlach Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 I was really wanting to watch Sabres hockey. It didn’t take long to get disgusted. My wife won’t watch them. She said “it’s not just the losing, they are boring and there is no one to cheer for”. 3 Quote

However, if Lou was willing to go to the Isles he probably would've been willing to join the Sabres. Quote

SABRES 0311 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 How do you start and end the third with a man advantage, down by two, and not get one shot? That’s actually impressive they didn’t even get one on accident. 1 Quote

I went back to Spectrum only because they offered a lower rate (for a year). Quote

That’s actually impressive they didn’t even get one on accident. Expand The worst part is they played like they didn’t even know it. No one went out there with any intent to just put something on net in the hopes that anything can happen. As coach, wouldn’t’ you be harping about it on the bench? Wouldn’t you just send someone to the net, drawing a defenseman with him, while another player puts I shot on goal. Anything can happen. Quote

That 70 bucks a month could be used more wisely Expand I did the same exact thing… I had the boxes and I was paying quite a bit of money to spectrum every month. Finally I cut the cord and bought a couple Roko devices. And signed up for fuboTV. I had fuboTV for three months, and then spectrum got in touch with me again and gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Unfortunately you have to actually leave spectrum… Be away from them for three months… And then they contact you with a very good offer to try to get you back. Or if they don’t… You call them after 90 days of being away from them. Now that I’m used to watching TV through the Roku device, i’ll be going back-and-forth between spectrum and fuboTV depending on what the monthly rate is. My Spectum “deal” ends in September. 1 Quote

Also, what about Bylsma? Expand It’s Pegula. He has a reputation around the league particularly with the experienced hockey people. Todd McClennan told TP in His interview, you have knack around the league for rapidly firing people Brian Burke was in Buffalo for a Leafs-Sabres Game and asked Botterill to grab a bite to eat before the game, Botts couldn’t because he had to have a sit down dinner with the Owners before every home game. Burke said that’s too much closeness with the owners. Their reputation proceeds them in some circles. Other Owners and the League Office have a tremendous amount of respect for them. Others do not 1 3 Quote
