Gleason: Offseason needs more thunder than season had

The Sabres became a lifeless team that failed to compete and lacked mental toughness. That's a felony in this town.

The offseason officially began at 6:28 p.m. Saturday, when the Sabres took a twirl in HSBC Arena and saluted fans who dragged themselves downtown knowing darned well the bang was hardly worth their buck. Nothing beats a warm-and-fuzzy goodbye in April, wouldn't you say?Sure enough, less than 15 minutes after Buffalo's easy, breezy 6-1 victory over Boston in the season finale, most of the players had slipped into the showers, slithered out the side door and made themselves scarce. Heaven forbid they would actually take responsibility for missing the playoffs in two straight years and five out of seven seasons

This is definitely true and some people can't accept it.

Re: Bucky holds nothing back

I gotta say i completely agree with that article, that sums up this awful season to a T
Changes need to be made they have had long enough
I hope RUff stays
but Darcy has sat to long on trades and free agency and made to many poor decions who we should sign and who we shouldnt]
THis was one of the most passionless teams i have watched in 20yrs or so of watching them

Too bad Quinn can't be fired.

I'm not a huge Quinn backer, but he does want to keep the team in Buffalo and that earns points in my book. Too bad he just won't keep his hands out of running the hockey side of the team and bring in a capable GM to put a championship team together.

I like Bucky suggesting Dunn as long as Dunn wears the headband while being the GM.

I've grown tired of that "excuse". If Bettman won't let Phoenix or Nashville lose a team, he sure as hell wouldn't let Buffalo lose theirs.

How can you support Quinn at all????

He is the one (or Galisano) that shot down the Drury extension. How the hell can you defend him?

Reiger built the team that was championship caliber. Quinn, as much as anybody, is responsible for tearing it apart.

I did love this article despite his "Take away these wins and the Sabres record is worse" part.

Dude you're on crack if you don't understand that Quinn is a key component of this team staying in Buffalo. I don't support him, but you backing Regier is laughable. I support the Sabres staying in Buffalo...I won't take that away from Quinn, even if he is a douchebag.

p.s. - I never defended him...especially not the Drury f**k up. Nice try at spinning what I said.

The reason I will defend Darcy (to a point) is that he did build the championship caliber team of 05/06 and 06/07. He also had a deal in place to keep one of the two key guys here for the long term.

And just keeping a team here is not good enough, if he keeps messing it up.

This I can agree with, but trying to say I defended Quinn was way off base.

Why not? Does he have a contract?

Re: Bucky holds nothing back

He owns part of the team.
