Mike Harrington Bashes the Pegulas
- Thread starter SabresSharks
- Start date
Maybe they should sell to an out of town person/group that knows more about professional hockey?
This good enough?
Anyone able to shop that to include Harrington's fat mug and change the title?

She was raised by a devoutly religious family. She attended a Christian college that the Pegula's have donated millions of dollars to. She doesn't swear, ever. Off color remarks have no place in her world. Botterill/Housley and Beane/McDermott are choirboys compared to the people they replaced.
Hiring Rex Ryan is a big counter point to that thesis, but you might be on to something.

If Rex is your first example I can only assume you've never met Tim Murray in person
I'm not a fan of the sheer ignorance/click-bait of Harrington. I'm sure that I agree with some points, (I'm not reading his bullshit), but the Pegulas have done so much for Buffalo, notwithstanding sports, I give them a badge of immunity for lonnnggg time.

Y'all have to much power
They spent literally billions of dollars of their own money and continue to improve the facilities for their players to help them stay healthy and get better at their sport.
They have saved sports in the city of Buffalo and continued to try to make the teams competitive. They are not gods for saving the teams but they easily could have said f*** it, not worth the time and money.
They continue to immerse themselves in the sports and yet, on a message board, people are Monday morning quarterbacking every decision they made.
So they need to do something with the Sabres staff, yes. Will I lump all the blame if they don't? No.

So much this ^^^ It's such a silly position that this board seems to have adopted. Most of the owners/ownership groups know dick about the sport of hockey, and few employ a team president role separate from the GM. Of the ones that do, most are simply figure heads with little or no power. But let's go back to the days of Larry Quinn, surely he had a vision that kept the franchise moving in one direction
So much for my dream of Boudreau, there's no way he makes it past the phone interview...

Well there's your problem right there. Never trust a leader who doesn't use profanity.
yep. That very Lindy Ruff line, when Lindy was making Housley-like lineup decisions, forcing square pegs into round holes

I was never a fan of Bada Bings.

I've been researching Quenneville. He seems like a wholesome family-oriented Pegula type of guy.
I'm not against Q, but on the Chicago Board their criticisms of him were very similar to Buffalo's of Phil.
If Kim ever meets Tortorella, the universe will implode.

Mike's columns make all of our posts look like works from greats of SI in the 1980's and 1990's. Amazingly, after over a thousand of columns, he hasn't found a writing style as much as he has developed a distinctive howl. I mean, my God, these Sabres columns write themselves from his perspective and yet he still can't put together a cohesive opinion.
I'd buy another 10 The Athletic subscriptions if Graham would take Mike under his wing and teach him 10th grade English. Then again, Tim's tweets on his articles are more entertaining than teaching the chimp to put verbs in sentences. Please pour Barney another on me, Mo...let's see if we can make him eat a spider.

I actually agree with most of what he wrote there. On the other hand, I think he pulled most of his ideas directly from this forum.
Fascinating.
I always thought that Lafontaine and Murray got into a power struggle after Murray was hired, and that Murray won. I viewed it as a fresh GM (Murray) was uncomfortable having a "hockey czar" around when that position is pretty rare for NHL franchises, and that he won the power struggle.
Your completely unsubstantiated comments about Kim Pegula have really changed my mind.
It's been reported. Just not in specific terms, because Lafontaine is unlikely to go on record to a journalist due to his NDA.Fascinating.

Firing Rex supports my thesis. Whaley was no saint either. Kim took over and cleaned house. She left a pile of bodies behind her. She cut Terry off at the knees, maybe a little higher.
If all this is true and I don't doubt that it is, how embarrassing for everyone involved. Especially TerryFiring Rex supports my thesis. Whaley was no saint either. Kim took over and cleaned house. She left a pile of bodies behind her. She cut Terry off at the knees, maybe a little higher.
