I think Gleason is right

I’m pretty sure Gleason is doing a better job speaking for the fans than Golisano, Quinn, Regier, or Ruff right now….at least about this issue. Watching this team play is either exciting, or very unpleasant. There is no in between and no way of knowing if they will “show up”. Their excuses for not making the playoffs two years in a row are a bit disturbing. Time will tell if the Sabres “stand pat” right now or not, but if they do, then this offseason will be a failure and I think Gleason will turn out to be right.

I can’t stand Bucky but I can’t necessarily argue with him either. I would just like him to say something else besides beating the same drum that he has for the past two years.

True

But I would also like him to have another drum to beat….what else is he supposed to say?

I think Lindy is stuck between a rock and a hard place. I tend to doubt he’ll do anything but beat the corporate drum to the media, so it’s tough to see where he really stands.

Though Bucky is right, accountability doesn’t seem like the highest priority top down through the entire organization, which is beyond a shame. I think this season goes a long way in determining fates. But then again, Golisano is probably too cheap to pay contracts after firing a guy.

Thanks for the links as well fellas.

Did Darcy and Lindy sign their contracts in 2006 or 2007? I know they were three year contracts and hence should be expiring soon. Could we be on the verge of a lame duck season?
