There are a lot of misogynists Sabres fans on this blog who have a problem with a woman Sabres president some are racist as well. Interesting, small-minded wieners.

Your comment is probably a reflection of your misogyny.

She is incompetent. He is incompetent. Sabres are incompetent.

She and HE both dodged any questions.

How soon before KA is loathed?

Stop with this. There hasn't been a single comment today that had anything to do with her gender or ethnicity. She has, so far, failed as the president of the Buffalo Sabres, and there is no denying it.

She has done ok with the Bills, an even bigger enterprise.

From the Periscope feed:

@Alf0461Why didn’t you hire Mike Grier as GM? They didn’t even interview a minority candidate

No, they lucked out in finding McDermott, and then Beane, who had a relationship with him. They have the personality and the ability to compel them to stay out of the way. The question is "how long will it last?" There are already rumblings that McDermott can't maintain the culture he is building under this ownership. I don't have much confidence.

none. they are just the money. are they cheap? why kevyn adams?
- wingz4life


But she runs the team. and has done a piss poor job at it.

They chose Kevyn Adams because he is cheap, and he is a yes man.

he literally said he looks forward to learning from the head coach.

That was the first thing Adams said.

if i am an opposing GM i am licking my chops

Does anyone think that GMJB was able to make any moves on his own? This press conference is a confirmation of an organization that does what the owners want done.

Except McDermott and Beane have both said hands off.

And reports are McDermott is concerned the PSE culture is going to ruin his, but facts and stuff.

Who gives a poop if he's a yes man. If he succeeds, he can be the world's greatest suckup.

There is absolutely nothing in their tenure as owners that doesn't suggest they lucked into the situation with the Bills, or that it will last.

Are you kidding me?

This whole thing is all about that Botterill was trying to build a team with no expense spared but the Pegula's wanted him to listen to the business side

You know the side that has had just as much screw ups as the on ice piece

You got the change from the GM you loved then grew to hate. This is a somewhat good day. Smile for once.

They are both so defensive about this hire. I think if you read between the lines:

Yes man and on the payroll for cheap.

Can't wait to see what his contract says.
