Who is your connection?

Well it sounds strange but here goes, my uncle's very good friend is on the staff. He's behind the bench for all the games and has been. I won't say who and only a couple on this blog know who it is.

We need to hire guys with experience across the board this time, hockey guy, GM and Coach. We need to show the NHL that we can move forward in a positive direction so in the future players will want to sign here. They need to do a complete turn around and prove they are legit.

Who said "all these teams". We're talking about 1. And I have already said that this was even backed up by the telecast. They repeatedly said that once they took the lead their defense smothered Chicago and played great defensive hockey. That's it. Nashville outclassed them in 4 games.

It's an incorrect narrative that teams in the playoffs "sit back" with a one goal lead in the playoffs
Including Nashville

Under 10min left in the 3rd, ok
Not at 35min like u suggested
No way
Didn't happen
I watched every one of those games

The Preds still forechecked, still carried the puck into the zone when they could, still tried to score to make it 2-0 and so on

Also,
"Playing great defensive hockey" doesn't mean sitting back & letting the Hawks pepper Rinne with shots

It means taking away time & space, which they did regardless of the score

Who thinks one reason Murray may not have wanted Bylsma gone was to protect his uncles job, the assistant coach?Bylsma didn't have to hire his uncle but he did so Murray was being loyal to him for that favor.

It was many things but there was something that set Pegula off but I haven't found out yet. He's gotta make this next hire (s) count.

Agree
Getting a Team President or VP of hockey or whatever we'd call him should definitely be the first step

Could've had something to do with it
But I doubt that's what all this was about
Still a lot we don't know

Not totally that's why i said one reason. It's something no one else has touched upon. Nepotism is huge, ask Donald Trump

The Sabres need a Lou Lamoriello type person in there

It's certainly a fair point
But all the other things 89 listed seem like they'd bear more weight

Yes as of now it is, my uncle's friend is a real good guy and if you have watched any Sabres games and I told you his name, you would know who he is as would any Sabres fan.

What points were those? I think the biggest point was by Bucky Gleason when he tweeted that sources told him Pegula was not happy with TM's lack of plans for the future.
