They were everything. The Bills were great fun too but the NFL wasn’t the industry worth billions back then. The NHL fanbase has eroded with years and years of losing. Feels like there’s no way out. But i would think at some point soon Terry explores selling the team to someone who will keep it here. So what Ownership after Knoxes were good for The Sabres???? Despite that the Sabres had Plenty of Winning. Pegula's problem is NHL and the Lottery. He wanted to get better and people TOLD him to TANK He LOST THE LOTTERY and the other two he won, picked Defense which in General is a MISTAKE. You win by scoring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You also don't give away your 2nd Overall pick who had GOOD STATS and signed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe this actually goes back to losing Drury and Briere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 23 hours ago, JohnC said: He doesn't need to read this particular blog to recognize that anyone involved with the NHL, media, hockey community and fan base have little regard for him and the franchise he presides over. He may be clueless but those who follow hockey recognize his incompetence. You don't have to be an analytical maven to recognize that a generation of failure is not a performance that should be highly regarded. There are plenty of reasons why this fanbase is substantially diminished. All of them relate to his bumbling stewardship as an owner. Who is the person who hired a person no one in the league would have even considered for the GM position? This same person has gotten Bills from the Dredges of 17 years no Playoffs! Amerks are a better Team with his Ownership. Bandits he has Championships and didn't mettle. His daughter is Top 5 in Woman's Tennis. Don't say they just got lucky who they hired!!!!! He got rid of Whaley and told him to trade away 8th pick (Mahomes) because he wanted new GM to have OPTIONS. He started hiring McDermott which means he knew what the Panthers had! McDermott wanted Beane which Pegula didn't have a EGO and said YES! That was a dangerous thing to do but he LISTENED! Also he got stuck getting Eichel, wanted McDavid. 90% of Sabres fans wanted Eichel gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wanted O'Reilly gone. Indifferent about Reinhart. Fans wanted BOTH GM's gone before Adams. Fans wanted to TANK too with FULL WGR550 support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Problem with Pegula is he was listening to the FAN BASE. I think Sabres FAN BASE is way different than the Bills fan base. Not even CLOSE to being as LOYAL. I am a fan of both but had 12 seasons of Bills season tickets. The most I went to Sabres games is maybe 10 a year. Not even close the fan base and how loud the Bills fans are to Sabres fans. Most people were yelling at me to SHUT UP at Sabres games. At Bills games they were pumping me up to get LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't keep getting rid of what you draft or Trade for and those players become SUCCESSFUL somewhere else. Sabres fans are laughed at other places and scared of Bills Mafia when they Move in to others Stadiums. Has the Sabres Fans ever Donated to other Teams players funds. NEVER heard of this happening! One needs to look at themselves as a Fan. I am a Bills fan first and Pegula has full support from me to Own whatever he wants in Buffalo. Changed Buffalo for the BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 18,000 seat Stadium and poor TV coverage tells me 18,000 people who want Pegula to sell should just SHIP those fans to Toronto. 2 1 2 Quote
