The problem is, I think this revitalization is happening off the back of a billionaire owner of our sports teams and a lot of it is depending on their and his success to keep supporting all of this development. I could be completely wrong, but I just do not see anything but a farce when I go to Buffalo right now.

Bunch of scumbag hipsters and Buff State students cutting their hair stupid and working at the art galleries for free or minimum wage and hustling at the bars and restaurants.

It's riding off of our old and already in-place architecture and art galleries. I don't like the gaudy coffee shops and bistros popping up everywhere and the hideous new buildings getting erected all over the place.

They should have started with the expansion of the bike-routes and linking the parks, filling in the kensington and fixing up the East side and public schools of the city, as well as dredging the scajaqueda creek and trying to fill the HSBC tower. They need to update the metro and subway system and fix the streets.

But nope. We have a bunch of new steak-houses and Harbor Center's overbearing phallus underneath that wretched skyway that's still there.

This city dug it's own grave when it decided it was a good idea to run a highway system through and circling the city.

Nah I'm pretty sure he's an idiot. Why else is the O'Reilly line getting the most ice time and is creating by far the least amount of scoring chances of any of the 4 lines. Why else is Kulikov And bogosian on the ice with 20 secs left. Btw, eichel also only had 10:00 of total icetime through the second period and sat on the bench in the third watching girgs and O'Reilly getting the first two shifts. wienerhead Dan won't win this battle

I do remember lots of Penguins fans were alarming us about this moron.
We all failed to see it, but now, he is showing us what an pathetic coach he is.
The only reason he won the cup with Pittsburgh that year is that he had super stars on that team ready to win it. Over time, his inept ways came to fruition, and were shown the door.

I think *just* blaming Bylsma is very lazy analysis.

Does he not get any credit for the good?

Both our goalies have a +.920 sv%

Kane is having a career year

Eichel is a PPG player.

The shelf life of an NHL coach is quite short and Bylsma will be gone before too
long. Then the next guy comes in and not much if anything changes. Then a year or so later HIS feet are held to the fire. Bottom line is ................ our roster is nowhere near complete and at this point we are simply not good enough .... yet !!

who else are you going to blame for this team, time after time, playing not-interested on the ice?!
I REALLY believe that players are trying to get this guy fired, and for a valid reason!
They are already tire of his nonsensical system, and , i think the players will win this battle.

I blame them all. Players, coaches, GM, everyone except Eichel and Terry. I can't bring myself to criticize them yet

I think for the first time in quite a while we have constructed a very good core of players and now it's simply a matter of addressing specific weaknesses.

Unlike previously recent years when we needed a complete makeover.... we're not that far off.

my guess

hawks
rangers
pens
flyers
habs


of course that list was given in late june or july 1st before the flyers were out of it

- homiedclown




Idk about Philly
They were seen as a playoff bubble team,
Not a true contender
I agree on the first 3, and maybe the Habs
I'd guess the Caps as the 5th
That's all assuming he'd wanna stay close to home

Sabres would have stayed around until a buyer showed up.

The Bills would be in LA where they belong.

And you're talking to someone who's gay for the Bills.

The best thing for this city, the city of Buffalo, would have been to get rid of this retarded sports culture that killed it's actual culture about 50 years ago.

Buffalo has culture?

Interesting...
But it better be Sergachev + +
I like him, but he's still just a prospect at this point
And we passed on him to take Nylander,
So I doubt that Murray "loves" him

Not sure how "in the know" he is but Joe Yerdon says there's a 0% chance Bylsma gets fired. He writes for Buffalo on NHL.com I think

It seems like Buffalo as a whole is just trying to lie to itself and the world that it isn't a poopty city, when it comes to sports and culture. Putting up monuments to it's own below average phallus size
