Michael Pachla: Sabres loss to the Leafs should be looked at as an organizational defeat From the top on down Buffalo outclassed in last night's 4-3 loss at Toronto

First!

Good blog. Lots to digest here.

Time for the Pegulas to take a look in the mirror and maybe figure out where they need to go to right this ship.

When will it end!

Pegulas need to bring in high-end hockey and football people to run both organizations from the top, and keep their thoughts and emotions out of it. Without that, neither team will ever be successful. IMO

Excellent post Michael ................ I firmly believe we are making progress albeit not soon enough in light of what transpired last night......

PS: I want my goalie pissed by the way when he's pulled.

So since the tank is on, who should we target? Nolan or Nico? James Patrick will put in a good word with his nephew right?

Lol. Watching that game last night, would give any Sabres fan plenty.

No one buys an NHL or NFL team to not be involved in it..

Thats why its sometimes better that a single individual doesn't own it..

I have many friends at my parties


and willing to admit your team, coach, and gm is much better than ours

You are never as good as you look when you win, and never as bad as you look when you lose.

That was a 1-goal win by the Leafs last night and there were times in the game when Buffalo out-played them.

The gap between these teams is not nearly as big as it looks sometimes.

It does seem like some players aren't happy, and I think it goes beyond just "don't like to lose".

But they shouldn't be making certain decisions like they are... They are trying to be like Jerry Jones, but he actually has some knowledge. They are just fans with money.

Nice blog and insightful info on the organization, good read.

You guys are so much more pleasant since they removed Garf from the Sabres section. LOL

Coincidentally I haven't called any bloggers an @$$clown since then either...

I am very happy to be here

fill in the blanks

Keep allowing this type of crap to run your organization Pegula...and watch Jack walk right out that door.

jack had 2 guys on him every time he touched the puck. Teams arean't afraid of Foligno and to a lesser extent Reinhart. Reinhart is ok, does some things well to very well, but he is not good at winning one on one battles. Foligno does his thing but it should be done on the bottom 6. They need to find him a LW.

the sabres have fringe top 8 talent in the east


they have lottery aspirations and direction from the coach and gm
