Well, they did. And the numbers bear that out. I'm out for the night
- sbroads24



The number you use bear it out bc u leave out everything other than when it was tied...

Just like how the announcers said the "Sharks played prevent defense" in the 3rd and that's why the Oilers tied it

Shots were 8-7 Oilers

Announcers instigate & add to this incorrect narrative all the time
They use the same BS lingo over & over

if you're ever out my way on a tuesday, I have a neighborhood bar that taps a fresh keg at 3:00pm.

Sounds better than what we had. Just keep Gerbe away from uniform decisions!

"Well besides Pegula already pissed about the Bills, trades, non trades, players that were signed, a few things Murray told Pegula when he got hired that he would do but he never did. Our record this year being worse then last year, losing the last few games didn't help either....."

His post was on page 37

Basically, seems to me that Pegula was upset at the sh!tshow that was going on behind the scenes, as well as missing the playoffs

Well yeah, what owner would be happy falling short 17 points of the playoffs? Yeah, there seems to be quite a bit to this mess.

For sure the bad season was upsetting...
I think all the behind the scenes stuff weighed heavy
And then Murray not having answers for Pegula clinched it

Another thought that may have contributed...

Did Pegula want Kane gone?
Maybe he was p!ssed that GMTM didn't trade him

1. no moves giving up on the season early

2. getting nothing for kulikov and franson at deadline

3. micromanage by murray last 6 weeks

4. coaches failing system in rochester and buffalo

5. taking a step back in the standings

6. players hate for coach

7. murray refusing to fire coach

8. murray said prety much "wait and see" on Wed


these all led to the firings of both clowns thursday

All makes sense

U think not trading Kane factored in?
I believe there was a rumor earlier in the year that T Pegs wanted Kane out
Don't know if there was truth to that or not though

That's (frank)ed up if your owner is hiring the coach instead of the GM.
- Matthews_Auston


He wanted a name guy. This is all speculation, but given Murray's public attitude towards Bylsma it kind of fits. He never complimented him. If he said anything nice, it was the staff as a whole. He never gave Bylsma his backing, it was always "he's my coach today."

It's Pegula's team, he can do whatever he wants with it.
