sens


possibly both

Interesting
I don’t see that happening

If we can upgrade Hutton & get a decent 2C,
I think we could fight for 3rd

MTL isn’t good, & Price isn’t what he used to be
FLA has to cut Cap, so they’ll take a step back
The Leafs are a huge mess too, with no fix in sight

All we really need are for a couple really talented kids to contribute

Or for the PK & PP to get straightened out

Or for secondary scoring to be more consistent,
ex: Skinner

So much went wrong for us this past year
Ralph’s first

Even with the Pegulas being a mess,
there’s still a roadmap to us improving
And none of it is crazy to see happening

That is not what he told Pegula,

Well what was said, I was told he's pissed off, and things need to change, but he hadn't put in a trade request.

Saw that

Makes no sense for the burden of proof to be on me when i remember the terms,
and he has repeatedly said he doesn’t
Plus... he’s the one who’s gonna lose the bet

And the avatar is the standard bet

And why would 2 ppl who don’t like each other agree to a beer when neither of us would have any interest in meeting up with the other?


Interesting how he left when i challenged him for a reason either of us would want to meet up for a beer too

It’s obvious what the bet was

He’s just being a sore loser

My memory > his admitting he doesn’t remember

And i added more above too
There’s nothing on his side that makes any sense

I heard he said fix this or trade me

I am sick of this sh!t



end of quote

- homiedclown


That seems fair ....... if I’m jack. I’m sick of being on bad teams

But the way the pegulas want to “fix” this is completely wrong. Firing everyone the way the pegulas did was horrible

Could I ask what makes the standard bet an avatar?

I'm one example, are there other past examples?
Of lost wagers ?

If you were to send this to arbitration:
I would recommend a mutually fair wager. If I remember right, you worked with me.

Maybe he says "fitz is smart in regards to lehner " or vice versa. Does the bet require 1 more year?

- Buff36

Sure he's pissed off, do you blame him ? He wants out if this doesn't change and Pegula and his wife can't fix this because they won't admit to what really needs to be done. Eichel dealt with Krueger and Housley more then he did Botterill. What happened today may have calmed Eichel down a little but this is still more changes and no structure which was one of the things that Eichel brought up on more then one time speaking with management.

The avatar is the standard bc that what most ppl bet
And with ppl living in different cities,
it makes a hell of a lot more sense then meeting up for a beer
Especially when he takes a trip back here
He’s really gonna wanna take time away from ppl he doesn’t get to see much to get a beer with me?
No way

And why would i make a bet for a beer with someone i have ZERO interest in spending time with?

It just doesn’t make any sense

No I don't blame him, he has every right to be pissed, basically what I was told by my body, was just wondering if you heard something different or maybe something new. You seem to have a pretty good source, just wanted to hear your take.

Hopefully one of Kevyn's first calls was to Jack, giv him a blueprint of his ideas. Cause the Pegulas were lost during the conference call.

Good fitz

All good points, I'm not sure if a beer or avatar or something else was wagered.

We need proof.

Also what makes the avatar the standard?

Could you sight a few examples
