    Which is fine, though I kinda wish you'd chill on the whole autism angle. The problem isn't Murray, but rather pegula. I get the feeling that they felt pressure to make a change, and did so and felt great relief, before then going "now what?"

    Are you saying Murray isn't a good hockey mind?

    That's the thing, he is. I think he had a clear path, but this past season was a massive bump in the road.

    I know alot of fans are not happy about him getting the boot. Bylsma, sure. Murray? Alot of anger out there

    What is wrong with some of you ? Clear path ?? Clear path downward.

    Murray was operating at two pay grades above his skill set.

    He's a metrics guy, talent evaluator and class A sh1t taller. At best, he's a Dir of Scouting.

    What turn around time do you expect with the new GM? Obviously, someone's going to come in with their own philosophy so some tear down will be needed. Do you think the rebuild just got extended?

    No I think it just got sped up... depending on what Pegs does next.

    Murray was incompetent.

    We've argued enough about this. If there's this big of a disconnect between fans, it's probably somewhere in the middle. Time to move on and see what happens now with an open mind.

    Competent people rarely get fired due to non-performance.

    What would be nice is for the new guy to create viable 3rd and 4th lines. Because the ones the have now are just horrible.

    And then there's the defense thing.

    And then Murray's insistence the Lehner is a real #1 goaltender.

    Hey man, lehner is inconsistent at times, but I think lehner has been real solid for the sabres. I'm not saying its not an area to upgrade if you can, but it's certainly not an immediate concern

    Your eyes may have seen something, but your brain doesn't understand what it's seeing. That's OK though

    Ditto, you being in your 20's really shows through. Stay young and fresh.
