The aggravating part looking back ....

Muckler just kept starting his guy fuhr, despite how obviously better hasek was.

Fuhr was fat, old and shot
Hasek was showing signs of greatness

The Edmonton bond with muckler , Charlie huddy, craig Simpson and craig muni.

Terrible management

While all of this is true, Hasek still sided with Muckler when all of that crap went down between him and Ted Nolan years later.

Sorry, misread your post.
- Boss34


It happens. The important thing is we all know Paul Hamilton has serious credibility issues with the team for whom he is beat reporter. Next thing you know he'll make up a story about Josh Allen hating Jack Eichel just to pile on.

I'd have no problem with the Pegulas hiring a younger, more honest reporter rather than hanging onto this creepy old man with integrity issues.

For the record, P Ham is employed by GR (Audacy) and not the Pegulas.

The saga of Viktor Antipin and his lack of an English tutor was my favorite

Is there an implication P Ham somehow blackballed Hank from media credentials? That's news to me if so.

No, was joking. Pretending his crappy reporting is why the Sabres cut down on passes.

He went on the radio for a solid week or more hammering the Pegulas for not getting Antipin an English tutor and saying that's why Antipin failed. It was his favorite bit for a while.

Come locker clean out day (i believe), Antipin thanks the Sabres for the opportunity and for getting him an English tutor.

You're assuming that it wasn't true. He did retract a story that he told, but I took it as he was told to retract it and not necessarily because it wasn't true.

Yes, it was one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever heard

Claimed Josh Allen told the Pegula’s and his people that he’d never work with Eichel again after doing a commercial

Literally the next segment goes back on the air and said he was given false info and that it wasn’t true

Within 10 minutes of it happening. Someone heard it and was really upset.

I would have to imagine both organizations have people listening often to catch stuff like that. It seems inevitable when you sell your broadcast rights that you want to protect your image. Didn't the Sabres have an issue with WGR posting "Dwayne's Rant" back in 2020 before Covid?

I listened to the Pen Oilers game on the NHL app. They have free audio of every game live. I don't know how anyone can watch bad football teams play. Great NFL games are amazing, but when you count the number of flags in every game now, it's really tough to watch bad teams for me.

I'm already targeting the Bruins game 12 November for division, maybe conference, lead.
