That Aud Smell Posted May 5, 2021 Report Posted May 5, 2021 Man. I am genuinely perplexed that so many posters here hate Drury. I mean. The guy's not particularly likable - that I will admit. But there's some revisionist history going on here as well. He was an absolute beacon of a bright light during one of the franchise's best stretches of play and success. Plus, he got Campbell to turn off that fu*king radio in the locker room and also got everyone eating plain pasta and chicken dishes before games. 1 1 Quote

Expand Yep. Myth making. Publicists and spin doctors should be required to study Drury’s Sabres stint as a textbook example of how to market athletes. Quote
Cal Naughton Jr Posted May 5, 2021 Report Posted May 5, 2021 He made us lose Briere and forced us to match Edmonton’s ridiculous offer to Vanek. And also, ***** Edmonton Quote
thewookie1 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Posted May 5, 2021 I loved Drury, was angered by how he left following the reports of how he sort of strung us along. (I blame both Drury and Golisano/Quinn for Briere's departure) I honestly hate him now due to the fact he won't interact with anything alumni related with the team. When congratulating Miller, celebrating the 50th anniversary, etc. Drury is never involved. If we had offered him 2.5mil and said **** off otherwise, I might understand bitterness but it makes zero sense why he doesn't seem to even acknowledge Buffalo whatsoever. He literally played his 2 best seasons here and besides a Cup win as a rookie, his longest playoff runs. I will always fondly remember his time as a Sabres captain but I will despise him until he stops being an ***. Quote

Hating others instead of making yourself enviable (and thus the subject of their hate). Drury was a great Sabre. We could use several of him now. They didn't value him enough to retain him, that's on them not him. Now Taylor Hall, you can go on hating him all you want 😉 Expand I'm not getting deep with sports lol he's not on our team, he was and left and hurt us, and now he's a direct competitor.
