@MattBarnaby3636 It’s bad business to remind us it’s just a business. Tuch was the guy who wanted to be here- the Anti-Eichel. Sabres fans dreamed the movie in their heads. Hometown kid. Dream come true. Heart and soul. You saying we’re stupid to believe it’s more than just business?
@Matt_Bove “Hometown kid” was a great marketing campaign. The sequel was shorter: make the playoffs once, then head for the exit. Legacy over. Alex who?
@BUFSportsTalk@alextuch89 Alex Tuch was a good Sabre. That’s it. Not Perreault. Not Mogilny. Not LaFontaine. Not Drury. Not Brière. Not Pominville. Yet fans treated him like a great because he was the hometown kid. Then the team finally makes the playoffs…and he leaves over money. Another mercenary.
@SabresBuzz@alextuch89 Alex Tuch spent years talking about what it meant to be a Sabre. The minute the Sabres finally became a playoff team and expectations replaced excuses, he was halfway out the door. Turns out he loved Buffalo most when there was no pressure to win.
I ordered two books from Barnes & Noble @BNBuzz on 6/15. It’s been a week. Same books on Amazon? Tomorrow. There’s no way Barnes & Noble can survive.
