It goes back to the Brandon era

They've been trying for years to buy it, the city won't sell and the Pegulas are pissed. They hate the arena and the city won't upgrade or sell. It's spite

so you're on king cuomo's side?
- Michael Pachla

no, but when one wants to ask the governor for a billion dollars for a new football stadium, this is the worst thing to do to get a yes

Two sides to every story with the truth in the middle, eh?

I’d like to hear the other side AND see them resolve this to allow the memorial.

i'm not saying that piece is bullsh!t, but there's waaaay too much inflamatory, one-sided b.s. floating around these days and it's causing people to overreact waaaay before everything is fully presented...look no further than to what has gone on here the past x-amount of years when controversial subjects pop up and make their way into the narrative

Then the Pegula company said, “We’re going to have to charge you a lot of money for this,”


this is the kicker

I had no idea I'd ever become a Larry Quinn fan, but I have based on this article below.

I could not agree more with him on all of the below.

https://theathletic.com/2...ource=user-shared-article

And the answer, according to Quinn, is yes: Why not try to make it even more entertaining? Because for every 6-5 thriller between Edmonton and Winnipeg, you get the sort of 2-0, low-event games played between the Sabres and the New York Islanders earlier this week. Quinn watched his former team play that game — back on Tuesday night — and didn’t much like what he saw.

We’ve (the NFL) got to make this more exciting for the fan’ — and they did, and the rest is history.

Quinn suggested the NHL had taken some steps to improve the overall viewer experience, but he cautioned that the league too often gets bogged down on the notion that it needs to preserve the “integrity” of the game.

No one ever became a fan of hockey watching one guy hold up somebody else in the neutral zone.

When that was not satisfactory, the governor’s office and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office agreed to provide all on-site labor for the event – using National Guard soldiers and sheriff’s deputies.

And the Pegula company rejected that.

Adam Henrique (ANA) on waivers. Wow

Oh please! No, let’s not get down one of those rabbit holes. Agreed, now back to trading jack, figuring out how to get okposo allergic to hockey equipment and female doging about Ralph’s horrid synergistic coaching.

I am not shocked


archives will prove I am not shocked

We need a center back Lafreniere Won't help us

Saying no to a generational talent?? Why that makes no sense at all

The Sabres lack of success has drained me from watching other teams.

Is Henrique really doing that bad?

Curious who the “company” is... who’s speaking on behalf of the company at this point?

Maybe we should promote Ralph to that position. Might be a better use of $4 mill annually to have Ralph be the director of synergy. This sounds like a synergistic opportunity. There clearly needs to be more synergy at the upper levels of PSE. The city of Rochester and pse are not in synergy. Please, Ralph, use your talents to fix the synergy.

- jcragcrumple

it doesn't affect me in any way...three soldiers lost their lives in a training mission in rochester...those soldiers deserve respect for their service to our country...i'm not sure why there needs to be a memorial in the first place...

was there a memorial service for the army soldiers and marines killed in separate training missions this past august? (serious question, as i do not know)

He's got 3 goals and 1 assist through 16 games. Not great.

He's not a generational talent lol

Who's going to play center?
