Similarly, they are the main reason the Sabres are dysfunctional bottom feeders. Makes you realize the importance of Beane and McDermott. 1 1 Quote

Not like many people would care, the NHL finals has less average TV views than the INDY 500. I think a lot of people would care, and I'm grateful to Golisano and the Pegulas for keeping the Sabres in Buffalo. 2 Quote

Grateful 13 years ago? Sure. Now…you have ruined this franchise, and I see no signs that you have got better as an owner, or the team is ready to become a yearly playoff team. Quote

If they do become a yearly playoff team, what do you think the odds are that people will be pissed if they don’t win the Stanley Cup. That seems to be how that goes. .

Maybe I’m holding on to old memories, but we were very close to relocation before Golisano stepped in. As long as the team is here they can improve and become a winner. But if they ever relocate, then that is it. We will not get another team ever due to the population size of the area. 1 Quote

This has taken on a life of it's own. "Proof" that Terry is cheap. Never mind all the players the Sabres tried to get to come here and said no. Also even with ^ Terry has a lifelong indulgence from me because if not for him, we'd be talking about how the Toronto Bon Jovis were gonna do Sunday. 1 Quote

Lionel Hutz Posted October 14 Posted October 14 (edited) Funny how people forget Pegula threatened to move the Bills to Texas if they couldn't get NY tax dollars to fund a new stadium. https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2021-08-02-bills-owners-threatens-to-move-team-to-texas-in-shocking-announcement/ Edited October 14 by Lionel Hutz Quote

You might recall Jim Balsillie of BlackBerry fame sniffing around the Sabres 15 years ago, wanting to move them to either Hamilton. Kitchener or London, ON. But Gary Bettman blocked him. But we all know the vultures were circling the Bills when Ralph passed. 2 hours ago, Lionel Hutz said: Funny how people forget Pegula threatened to move the Bills to Texas if they couldn't NY tax dollars to fund a new stadium. https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2021-08-02-bills-owners-threatens-to-move-team-to-texas-in-shocking-announcement/ Was that Pegula or Jerry Jones company Legends?

But we all know the vultures were circling the Bills when Ralph passed. Balsillie made at least 3 attempts to buy other NHL teams besides the Sabres but was rebuffed. They didn't want him as an owner. Quote
