Happy Pegula Day

At least that's what they are calling it on the internets. It's officially the day that Terry Pegula takes over the Buffalo Sabres, even if his first official act as team owner is too change the rug in the locker room. It's symbolic, because this team needs a makeover. And that started today. Fans are hoping that Terry Pegula is the man to finally bring a championship to Buffalo and not let us down. He said all the right things at his morning press conference leading off with an emotional recollection of watching Gilbert Perrault play and emphasized that the sole purpose of the franchise is too win a Stanley Cup. He added," Starting today, there will be no financial mandates on the Buffalo Sabres." Pegula said that money would be poured into scouting and player development and that "winning is not a goal, it is a belief."
