Or do you prefer Black Sunday? Either way it was a dark terrible horrible day in Buffalo Sabres history Sunday July 1st. The Buffalo Sabres 2 captains franchise players leaders etc left for richer lives in places like Philadelphia and New York City. The ownership fucked up the players lost faith in the organization and split for straight cash homey.
Lawrence Quinn and Darcy Regier aka Quinny/Darc jumped in the lions den at 2 pm and faced the media. Sure they deserve respect for answering the questions and taking blame, but they seemed incompetent and bumbling the whole time. They blamed Drury and said he wanted to play in NYC and not in Buffalo. Such instant classics as "this is a two legged horse" and "no we won't be as competitive without Briere and Drury".
There are no excuses, they said they couldn't resign Briere and knew that Jan 1. No offer was made to Drury last fall, and they did say they messed things up. Well it doesn't matter how we got here but we are here and the cupboards are bare. Chris Drury and Dan Briere are gone for good and this team no way will be in the Eastern Conference Finals. They are some $14 million under what they spent last year and it seems nearly impossible the team spends more than they did last year as they have stated they did.
Quinny and Darc need to be fired after this season if the team takes a major step back as predicted. If players like Roy, Vanek, and Cambell are signed long team, a player like Bertuzzi, or some one else is brought it and the team changes the mentality of just out skating the opponents maybe they won't bomb. The defense isn't good enough, yet I'm almost positive Quinny/Darc said the Sabres have one of the best d-corps in the league. Thats bullshit this team needs to increase its ability to hit and play defensive.
This shit show that just went down and how Briere and Drury left maybe haunt this organization for years to come. Not paying your key top flight players both players the same year and letting them walk looks like bush league cheapness. Talking about becoming the Pittsburgh Pirates of the NHL is insulting as well, they didn't bring it up but they kept talking about it too. The Buffalo Piratbres? holy shit this was a bad day in Buffalo sports history and all I know is vanek etc need long term deals by the end of the day Monday.
Shit list
Quinny
Darc
Briere
Drury
Rally tomorrow @ hsbc arena

" I was told by a friend that himself and a bunch of people were going to hold a "peaceful rally" against the sabres organization.. possibly to get quinn fired. You have to admit, they fucked up big time by letting drury and briere go without signing any big name players to replace them or bolster their blue line. I'm going, whose with us?

Look Baaaaafffalo (like Robie would say)Face the truth: You have an owner who is a Nut case who ran for Governor twice just to prop himself up with no chance of winning, Larry Quinn well we all knew what an Asshole he is!, Lindy Ruff well we will see his coaching abilities again without star players maybe he will go back to the Captain Carousel, Lastly have ya ever REALLY Looked around at BAAAfalo with an open mind?.. it's Dying and when you are making millions being a Star player you have to be pretty dedicated to the "City" which in sports today few are! Hey one last thing look at your media types too you got Assholes everywhere you look, Most are neverbeens like Showperdope and the rest of the Idiots on GR55..Good luck City Of Losers.Let's see ..is it 0 for how many now?
ReplyDeletefuck you pal what does propping ones self up by losing an election mean? who is robie? showperdope? for bashing the city you seem to pretend to know a lot about it reading and listening to everyone in the media knowing the sports teams entire histories and mentioning a "captain carousel" 2 years before the lockout when 4 different players were captain.. thanks for the thoughtful and interesting commenatary you douche bag.. perhaps you should also take a tour of downtown and see all the new construction F off
ReplyDeleteHey here's another point about Baaafalo Sports....Your biggest Signing on the Baaaaflo Bills was Morman...A Punter...hmmmm Sounds like the Offense just took another turn South huh? And let's see how many times Gaazzooo can over explain a play this year while Murph keeps saying to himself ..was Van really done or can we pleeeeease bring him back...Hey But at least you have something in common with the Flintstones. You have a Dinosaur for an Owner and Blue Collar City getting one loss after another..Bam Bam BamBamBam
ReplyDeleteperhaps you should check the job finder section of the buffalo news while you're at it since you obviously have nothing better to do. the one comment i will make is the Bills Stadium is owned by Erie County. Thus it must pay for upkeep and upgrades, ie mandatory security measures like the concrete barriers you reference. Also there is no debt what so ever associated with the stadium making it very lucrative and attractive to any owner..
ReplyDeleteps
piss off but keep coming back to read our lovely blog
pps
tell your friends
who is this guy ... chris drury? ... for someone that hates buffalo ... you sure do know a lot about it ... sports, city planning, political, media ... u've got it all covered ... if you know so much about changing it, why don't u come into the city and run for mayor or apply at wgr for the drive home from work hours ... that way you can spread all your valuable knowledge and insights with the entire city and bring it back to its status of old ... or you could get a real job.
ReplyDeleteOk Baaaafalo Sports & Dick tickler You hit the nail right on the Head (both Of You)! I need to find something else to do because obviously you 2 Knuckleheads are egggxactly what is wrong in Baaaafalo. You piss & moan & blame others & then wait for someone to correct your problems in your Beloved Dying City. If you spent half the time making a plan on REALLY RALLYING FANS instead of responding to my comments maybe ..just maybe You might be able to solve Baaaaafalo's problems by really getting involved to make a Change. But you are Delusioned Sports Fans who are paralyzed with fear that if you really stand up to these Dickheads something Bad will Happen...they might Leave...oooohhhh no Mr. Billll....Take a look at Cleveland ..they Won..take a look at Atlanta..they Won...You have some foolish Idea that these owners Give a Fuck about You. Since I am not there I can only point out the obvious & inspire you To Get OFF YOUR DEAD ASSES.Hey Sorts Dude,As long as you cop that Stupid Attitude about Having to Pay..Then Pay You shall... But just remember one thing when the Money is all gone So will the Team. You think Ralph REALLY gives a shit about YOU...He struck that sweetheart Deal by holding the City Hostage with threat Pay or Else. My comments were made out of pure frustration of Fact & anger because I no longer live there anymore and to watch the ineptitude of the current Fan base accepting the Status Quo. These are painful but True statements with the hope that if you have a website to reach fans to revolt You will surely do so. Instead as always, Baaaafalions sit back & say "Geee what weeee gaanna do Now"! Start questioning the Media ..not me..Start asking Fan base to protest not peacefully but Loudly & directly in the face of your Team Owners....not Me. See I am the easy target...& You My 2 Lazy Commrads are taking the easy way out responding to me thinking in some retarded way YOU Are SAVING BAAAAAFALO. Think About it...You Know it is True!! Stand Up ..Act Up... Take Fans to Gallllissoooonnno's House, Paychecks Headquarters In RottenChester.. Go to Your County Legislators Doorsteps & tell them ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! With the Media You might Even WIN! But as long as you sit here & argue with me YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU HAVE COMING TO YOU !!! A Losing Hockey Team with Poor Coaching & The Doormat NFL !!! So Shut up about me & start Doing Something About It...If You let the Arrogance of the Ownership In Baaaafalo & Your own Hometown Pride cloud Your Vision You will be destined to Stay The City Of Losers....Silence is the Same as Compliance ..Now like it or Not ..I don't care ..My point in all of this...was & still & Always is..toooo..WAKE THE FUCK UP BUFFALO
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the 1960's where you can just go Malcolm X on someone and only get a slap on the wrist. It's not that easy to walk into Byron Browns office and say "Hey listen, were mad ... do something about it." You think he cares about the Sabres or Bills? And Tommy G is only worried about getting the pominvilles on the shelf for next year ... not what some bloggers think. Ed Kilgore called and said he dont care either. Thats why we blog ... so we can vent. Not so we can set up WWIII over a few players leaving or a ribbon ticker being put up. Parking lot prices are going up at the Ralph ... so we will move our party somewhere else, but as sports fans were not going to to watching and supporting ... were going to blog and chat about it over wings and blue.
ReplyDeleteWikiki...nope never been there..but thanks for asking... Rub one out ..hey no thanks I got a beauuuuuuutiful Wife so I don't need to pay for it like a season ticket holder like you.I'll bet You got your own booth!! Negative ...No see Mr. Simpilton there you go again trying to use Your Dead Gray matter between your Ears.I'm not starting a revolution...I was laying the seeds like Johnny Appleseed but you are just pissing all over the garden & killing anything before it can grow.You are a Lazy Sack of Shit who couldn't take an idea and make the best of it as I said earlier. Jobless Fuck Huh...I've probably lost more money in a month than You will ever earn in a lifetime..So Dick ...What is it that you want me to start for You ( since apparently I haven't given you enough ideas to act upon on your own) that you can then ride on my coat tails & say Yeah Baby I did it..I was there....You Jackoff...Listen Stupid I thought this was a blog worth writing on to help inspire some Fucking Passion in that Dying Fucking Dead Blue Collar Chicken Wing Lazy Ass Capital of the US of A but I was Mistaken...Because I can talk to Assholes like you standing in the line for a soup kitchen!! & by the way get better answers from them too.... So good luck Dick Tickles Himself...Cya Oh yeah ...Ryan Miller... He's Next to leave....Good Night Baaafalo...& dick tickler try going back to school maybe you can get a REAL Job
