It's a hypothetical.

Fact is, this is the worst and most embarrassing stretch of hockey in the history of the Sabres franchise. That and Kim's "Marie Antoinette" moment where she actually listed "maintain family lifestyle" as a PSE goal is worthy of all the peonic derision thrown their way.

Nice reed,

However in MHO, Truculence is over rated in today's NHL Game. You need to put the puck in the back of the net and you do that we talent.

And Truculence you have to coach as a team game, its a buy in from top to bottom to do whatever it takes to win. Whether that is Eichel or Skinner finishing every check or Getting punched in the face, Team toughness has to be a complete buy in, an Identity.

the bruins don't have a done of heavies, but they all finish their checks and are all will to get punched in the face at any time for any reason. That is what makes teams like that hard to play against.

The Sabres do have zero of that but bringing in a few guys will not change that culture.

Do you care? You've done nothing but trollololol since you started posting. Why does it bother you if people have qualms with a poorly run entertainment entity that they've put at the very least some emotional investment into. I, for one, couldn't care less that they want a return on their investment. They should. They should also never say it publicly. It was 100% Marie Antoinette thing to say.

NFL owners don't own football teams because they love football. they own them because they make 275 million dollars a year.

Every business owner wants a great ROI.

You don't put it on a power point where you say it out loud to your employees and they all said the same thing, that meeting killed every bit of morale in that building that day.

Indeed. And it's a fine thing. I like football. I like that there are rich people willing to pay upfront costs, and I'm cool with them making it back and then some. win/win all the way around.

It was right next to the Blue shirt article, but the Tage Thompson report card article seems to have taken that spot.

It's a microcosm of how truly tone deaf they are. their management style is 'swing at this piñata with a straw in the pitch black and it's somewhere in this arena.

He found it once with Sean McDermott. Hasn't found it since.

Can't believe they'd be dumb enough to reference a HB post.

All credit to the Cragster, but this website is anti-propaganda for the Buffalo Sabres.

Where pierogis aren't quesadillas
- Michael Pachla


You're right.

Pierogis aren't quesadillas, they're polish ravioli.

Sauerkraut is awful stuff, not meant for human consumption.

Also, pierogis shouldn't even be considered in the top5 of polish foods. Sernik takes up 1-4 and we need room for that sausage stew dish.

honestly though, would it even be fair to bring tacos into this discussion?

This is like Cheektowaga residents pooling their money to buy a business and the queen of England is like nah dis mine

Let me ask you this: if the Sabres had one at least one Cup between 2011 and this season, would it be ok if he had a yacht?
- RichardRoma

Well that's the whole problem now isn't it? Winning cures everything.

They didn't just not win - The Pegulas took one of the most historically successful teams (They had only missed the playoffs something like 10 or 11 times out of 40 seasons and had a team win% of close to 60%) and drove it completely into the ground to the point where EXPANSION TEAMS have more prestige than us.

They took an all-time respectable franchise and obliterated it's image and product.

(frank) their yacht - I hope it capsizes.

Every recipe ever loses me at cilantro.

My grandmother would fight you with a wooden spoon over this and you'd lose. She's 10x tougher than I am though, so we're going to let this slide. Watch it though DD.
