So, yeah, lockout. I find myself particularly unmoved by either side of the equation this time around. I can never understand how the negotiations move so slowly, always start later than seems logical, involve only a few actual meetings, and seem to treat an actual deadline as something of a suggestion. Both can say [...]

Well, the press conference is over, tears have falled, but no axes – yet. Darcy Regier has free reign to improve the team with ‘no financial mandates’ in place. This is his trial run. Can he improve the team? Will he part with players he drafted to do it? Draft picks? There are no [...] I guess if the Sabres are going to lose 3 straight, the best time to lose them is when other teams are losing too and you can stay 4 points back of the playoffs. Buffalo wasted a dominant performance by Miller, who did his best to bail the team out but he can’t score [...] It was an interesting experience the other night, during the Penguins game. With the fanbase giddy from the outgoing ownership presser, another discovery was made – Terry Pegula’s daughters were on Twitter. My first reaction was ‘cool’. I didn’t think much would come of it, but then they (especially Jessie) began to engage with [...] On a day where almost every other team played (minus one game cancelled due to the ‘storm’), several Sabres related stories dominated our discussions yesterday. First, Terry Pegula really is buying the Sabres. And yes, even Larry Quinn is no longer denying it. Tom Luongo and Katebits of The Willful Caboose both say thanks [...] Yes, I think it’s time to look at who has value to ‘sell’, after that effort this weekend. There is still time to recover, but it’s growing short. 49 games left, but only 30 points in the standings in the first 33. It took 88 to make 8th last year in the East, but [...] Interesting, really, that the whole Pegula business drops when the team has it’s longest layoff (barring holiday/all-star type breaks). This story would’ve dominated the sports media here completely, were it not for the death of Jim Kelley. There are a TON of tributes to him from writers all over North America, with perhaps one [...] It looks that way according to Ken Campbell at The Hockey News. How quick did THAT story develop? Rumors (deflected) yesterday, to letter of intent today. The price of $150 million is quite jump from the $92 million Billionaire Tom Golisano paid for the team. BTG has never denied the possibility of a sale, [...] |
