    BN Bucky : Pegulas in over their heads...

    The Pegulas now own two franchises going nowhere rather than just one. The Bills missed the playoffs for a 16th consecutive season with no end in sight. The Sabres entered Tuesday’s games in 26th place in the NHL. They were two points ahead of Anaheim, which had two games in hand and was one stop from the bottom.


    Well I happen to agree with him. But I believe the Pegulas are still the way to go and will learn and adapt over time. I'm not happy with the job they've done to date, but I'm happy the Pegulas own the teams and will lead to better days ahead even if I don't last long enough to see them some day.

    The Sabres hit rock bottom and are improving. Regarding the Sabres, he's FOS. Nothing expected this year but I don't wear his biased blinders. Murray was left with a major rebuild, due to Darcy.

    He's making the same initial mistakes with the Bills and the jury is out on how Ryan will recover.

      This act between these two are so tired. But it is on the bills for being such a terribly run organization that pretty much any negative article will always end up right. It's the same brass at the top. The pegulas have changed anything.


      As for the Sabres. He should try and watch the games. They were outclassed last year. This year they hold their own. They have played the Lightning well. The black hawks and the Kings. They beat a red hot Bruins team. But they are young. You can see the build. And you can see a few string of wins at this point they go from 26 into the thick of playoffs. No one was expecting a playoff appearance. They wanted improvement and a sign that it's getting better. It clearly is. Whether that shows up as a playoff appearance or cup win is to be seen. To call the experiment off now is the sign of complete baffoonery

        I think my money is still on the Pegula's doing it right though they are having a struggle.

          This is why Pegula is talking to Polian. He knows he's an engineer, not a football guy.

            Well I think he's a football guy who is an engineer not an engineer trying to be a football guy, but I can go along with this

                Agreed, it's extremely old and tired with the Sabres stuff.

                The Eichel-O'Reilly-Risto-Reinhart core is looking great. The only deadweight on those teams are the veterans (Moulson contract looks terrible right now, Gionta at least expires soon). The sabres are headed in the right direction, have been playing well with Lehner out all year.

                      Ryan and Roman don't have he skill set to be NFL coaches. I don't have as much a problem with Roman as OC, since a real coach could reel him in. But Ryan is a ****ing tool with no Head Coach skills.
                      The Pegulas are paying this guy elite money to lead a team and he down graded the performance on the field. I guess its this that and whatever. Whatever horse**** spews out of his mouth at the moment. Things like that. Blah blah blah. **** you Rex.

                          That's what we had with Ralph and it got us maybe 12 good seasons peppered amongst 50+ years of mediocrity.

                          I watched the 30 for 30 on the Super Bowls today. It reminded me how knowledgeable and loyal our fan base is but it often comes at a price: blind loyalty to the point where mediocrity is accepted. The passion, the commitment, the tailgates are great, but when does it get rewarded with winning?

                          We need to lose the mentality that simply having a team is enough

                            LOL. Some of you should just stay lost in the football forum, because you're even more lost trying to talk hockey. The FACT is that the Sabres have a new coach, a new GM, some shiny new players and are one point out of last place. One point. They played the Capitals on Monday, got 31 SOG and couldn't score to save their lives. They are terrible. No matter how you want to spin it.

                            If it wasn't for the nightmare AKA as the Maple Leafs the Sabres would be cellar dwellars for the 3rd season in a row. That is a terrible owner. The Pegulas are a joke. As much as an a-hole as Gleason is, he is correct here.

                              the only thing you could tag the pegulas with is that they went Lafontaine who left him high and dry within weeks and tim murray was somewhat accidental. he's trying the same thing with the bills. bring in old names to get people excited. and even polian's comments seem off. Hopefully polian's continuous spurning of the bills makes him look to a new guy who is willing to fix the whole thing. to me, it seems like the pegulas will let whaley and ryan figure this out for one more year. Too many contracts to call it off now. and when we hit 17 years, they'll gut the whole thing and people will given them the patience of building a long term winner properly. it just sucks that we are 3-5 years away from anything remotely competitive.
