"Come back; I'll bite your bloody kneecaps...!!"

Darcy and Lindy are complete scams; they really are.

Quinn sold the Rigases on them. The NHL kept them in place when they owned the team. Galisano kept Quinn; so they were kept around as Golisano babysat the team.

Pegula buys the team, and keeps them around; because in his "due diligence", he's heard only "good" things about them. Did you really do any background on these two Terry? Honestly? I'm really beginning to believe Terry is a fraud; from his business, to and NHL owner...

His fortune is based upon the process of refining natural gas through the process of "Fracking." Fracturing parts of the natural shale formations underground to release the gas.

The method of "Fracking" to refine natural gas is not without it's environmental concerns. The method uses Flowback brine. This is saltier than seawater, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection requires it be treated before disposal. But treatment is expensive, and the state is considering tighter rules to deal with the increasing volume of water.

I have read articles that use less flattering terms to describe the process, but need to find those again, and I'll post. This process may well be environmentally hazardous, and some limits have already been set on it.

Honestly, when you expect Pegula to fire his GM and Coach mid season you're being extremely unreasonable. I'm not blaming Pegula until the offseason. It's very hard to change the face of the damn team mid season, and I doubt a new coach/GM will save this season whatsoever. Things take time, and Pegula not firing Lindy and Darcy mid season shouldn't make him seem like an asshole.

I would be happy with Lindy being fired, but midseason I think would be pointless unless there's a coach you might not be able to get in the offseason.

Exactly. It's not like Lindy is a bad coach. I expect him to be given some respect after 15 years in the organization. We know we're not winning anything this year. Why change anything midseason when it won't really help, and probably burn bridges between a guy who's been nothing but loyal to this organization?

If the NY legislature approves fracking, you'll all be drinking polluted water within 2 to 3 years.

midseason coaching changes have worked wonders for teams before with the Devils last year and the Blues this year.

the only way to stop fracking is to get on board with other conservation methods, specifically solar, geothermal, and high efficiency wood stoves.

are you sure they just didn't recopy an old interview from past seasons when the Sabres sucked? He says the same thing every year, and I think he's too patient for his own good. His "core" is not going to get any better, and have proven they are not Stanley Cup material. Now I'm curious if Pegula loses patience with Darcy at some point.

Amazing that people will go to their graves insisting Lindy and Darcy were such a good Coach and GM. A few good seasons years ago, somehow anointed them lifetime entitlement. Under that reasoning; we can't get Dominik Hasek, Mike Peca, and Chris Drury back here soon enough...

Darcy’s remarks remind me of the skit in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. When the Black Knight keeps getting is limbs lopped off, he simply keeps repeating, "It’s just a flesh wound..."

That's a little far-fetched, and you should probably drop it. We may have had Darcy and Lindy around for long enough to say something about them, but Pegula has barely owned this team for a year. I'm not passing judgment on him until I know he's just sitting on this team waiting rather than trying to get something done.

Yes, but what's that going to do? I don't think a new coach is going to make our guys better, make them try harder, and deal with injuries. The offseason is the place I will judge Pegula on.

I still watch the games, and subscribe to Center Ice, but I won't buy any Sabres merchandise, or see a game in Buffalo. I'd like to actually stop any of my dollars from going to him, but I'm too addicted to hockey and the Sabres.

If Lindy was fired midseason, all that would happen would be that James Patrick would replace him as interim head coach. That would be 10x worse.

Did it work well with the Habs? It goes both ways, but more often than not changing a coach midseason does virtually nothing.

This process may well be environmentally hazardous, and some limits have already been set on it. there are no fraudulent items with hydrofracking. it produces gas, and in the case of marcellus and utica shales, a lot of gas. typically, brine is not used anymore, it's water taken from sources adjacent to the projects, like a stream or river. the only problem that really shows up from the wastewater is when companies abandon regulations and just drain it during a rainstorm or something. the problem with the process is that the rock fracturing ("frac"ing) splits aquicludes (aquitard, some impermeable barrier, typically rock structures) and ground water (aquifers) move, drain, or have the gas/oil mixed in with it, depositing chemicals into clean water sources. in case you're wondering, i work with gas lines almost every day. i don't support fracking, but it's getting much better. most people think this is a new process when it has really been going for about 40 years. in ohio gas companies really fucked the water supply in a lot of places and the water can still be lit on fire from the faucet. it's come a long way and it's not going to go away. in most places, there are about 10-15 years of marcellus shale to frack and after that, there is an expected 40 years of utica. the only way to stop fracking is to get on board with other conservation methods, specifically solar, geothermal, and high efficiency wood stoves.

I don't mean to be a scare-monger, but I know that fracking is being portrayed as an economic development vs. conservation issue there and that the gas industry paints it like environmentalism gets in the way of making jobs. I just think that's such a pathetic way of looking at it. As if you can somehow separate the health of the water table from the health of the economy. That drives me mad.
