Mr. WEO Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 "Sabres owner Pegula tells AP: It's time to start winning" He's selling the team? 3

Good people who want to win and to make the people of Buffalo proud, but absolutely clueless. I mean it's nice for an owner, 10 years into his ownership, to at least acknowledge it's time to start winning....but he could also acknowledge they were a winning team before he bought them. 2 1

I'm no hockey fan, but losing 16/57 means they won 72% of their last 57 games. Is that bad? 3

Mr. WEO Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 If Pegula didn't also own the Bills, Sabres fans would be roundly ripping his ownership at this point. It's been a disaster. 3
gjv001 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 If the Pegulas didn't own the Sabres would the team not move to a more lucrative market?

Beast Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 ScottLaw seeing that the Bills are heading in the right direction jumps on the Sabres suck bandwagon. Who would have thought? 1 5
MJS Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) To me I don't really care if owners have a clue about football or hockey. Their job is to provide money. They need to surround themselves with people who DO know what they are doing and can advise in all hockey/football related decisions. I think you hear a lot of dumb stuff come out of the mouth of owners from lots of sports. Their job isn't to know the sport, it's to write the checks. PS: I'm pretty sure there is nothing he could say to impress Sabres fans. Nothing he could say would distract from the failures on the ice. Edited June 30, 2019 by MJS 2 2

Another Fan Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 I think the guy means well but really its been underwhelming so far 2
SoCal Deek Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 If it’s time to start winning now what time was it last decade?
PromoTheRobot Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 If winning it all is the yardstick of success then there are 31 failures every season. Unless you live in New England, how does anyone deal with the yearly letdowns? I wonder if Milwaukee Bucks fans, or Pittsburgh Pirate fans, or fans of any team that has had limited success act the way we do? 1

You'll never give up on "The Bills Could Move At Any Time" conspiracy, will you? I'm on record as saying they were not going to be moved. So your post above is, as usual, informed by sentiment, not fact.

Comparing one of the best teams in the NBA with one of the worst NFL teams over a decade......it really doesn't make the point you're struggling to make. All fan bases "behave" in a similar way when their team chronically stinks. How can this escape you? You're an inveterate fan basher. That's your thing.
