Do you think anything will embarrass Pegula at this point? Anything that will make him to really get serious about building a winning franchise? 

No. 

Anyone makes fun of him for the Sabres...or anytime he watches a game he doesn't like....he can simply turn his head and look toward Orchard Park and feel good about the Bills and listen to national media saying how good they are.

I'm not saying he doesn't give any attention to the Sabres, he does, but I think if he didn't have the Bills, or they weren't good, there might be more action to change things with the Sabres.

He has money for both.  The man is worth $12billion, there is no reason he needs to treat the Sabres like a poverty franchise

So is he a relentless meddler or an uncaring/absentee owner.  I'm having trouble following the narrative on the board.

Looks like Berube is teaching Toronto about defense and structure.

Uncaring for sure

There was absolutely ZERO I said about him being an absentee owner, if you got that from my post, its an agenda you have because that is NOT what I think at all.

I thought I explained it well.  

He meddles, he wants to...but when the heat from the failures becomes too much, he just feels better by 'thinking of' (not doing anything, but kinda looking at) the othe franchise.

Fans do that too. If you like the Bills and Sabres equally, you can wish and hope and go to message boards and propose moves and trades for the Sabers all day long. But at the end of the day, if Sunday comes and the Bills win, most people just take that in.

Yet, he does.

Please explain what has he done to give them any attention? Go to Montreal to give them a pep talk?

Yep. Show up at practice pretty often.  Talk to Adams on a daily basis (or at least he was earlier in the year). We saw in videos he was present in the room during the draft....he is there alot. He gives his input a lot. This was covered deeply in many threads over the last month.

It's an excellent question, and honestly a good one for a poll. I personally don't think it's that binary. I think maybe his input, when given as de facto POHO, is not good/informed/constructive/respected (some combination of all).

Here's something you don't see every day:

He's a meddler who is on the cheap in my books.   if he opened up the purse strings and let hockey people make the decisions, I'd he happy

[Doohicksie]

This powerplay unit is hard to watch.  No zone entry.

Oh ***** you Tanev

[Stads]

We lost that period by only one goal. That seems like progress 

[Huckleberry]

Just listening to this, but well this team needs more believe in themselves.
