GASabresIUFAN Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) This is a crazy story. Apparently they fired Cassidy for reasons unknown, then asked him to coach over the weekend, then re-fired him. The rest of the coaches and players walked when the owners issued a BS press statement saying Cassidy resigned and then cut the budget for equipment, after game team meals and other expenses. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/7288467-Omaha-Lancers-players-walk-out-coaching-staff-resigns-en-masse-after-building-tensions-boil-over Edited November 22, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN 1 Quote
North Buffalo Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Wow what a cluster... sounds like the local owner has some financial issues but what too much of a jerk to fess up instead blaming everyone else and treating his players like cattle... this isn't going to end well. Quote

CHECK Expand Financial Issues, potentially, the Sabres specifically however are far more likely than the Pegulas personally too much of a jerk to fess up, already explained this one above. An owner will rarely if ever apologize for bad on-ice/field etc performance instead blaming everyone else, I agree but seeing as blame has to go somewhere it doesn't exactly mean much treating his players like cattle.. is not really true in Buffalo. Our players have a great locker room, and quite a lot of perks with the job. Most players leave fond of their treatment but angry/bitter about the results. I'll take Lehner's situation with a grain of salt seeing as they got rid of the staff members involved years ago and Eichel had already decided he wished to be traded and the Sabres did nothing against the CBA in regards to him. this isn't going to end well, for us we have no clue; hopefully we are turning things around at this time Quote

Of course they feel good about making their millions. But get these former Sabres in a room and listen to what they'd say about Terry the owner. He made their hockey lives miserable. He disrespected their profession by buying his way into and treating it as his plaything. Cattle? Cattle are given more respect than those players were. They'll tell all. He's an open joke. Quote

Expand Where is this info coming from? Nothing I read has painted the Pegulas as anything worse than either meddlers and/or well-intentioned incompetents.
