Well, that was something, huh?
Ted Black and Darcy Regier met with the media for a heated, squirm-inducing press conference to finish off the 2013 Sabres’ season.
We rarely recommend sitting through an hour or so of this type of thing but we’ll certainly make an exception this time.
HEAR PRESS CONFERENCE IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Twitter was fast and furious as the event transpired. Now that we’ve had a little time to process it, here’s some of the reaction.
Good programming decision.
Every radio station in the world should have pre-empted Jim Rome today for that #sabres press conference.Amazing stuff.

Sabres earn sympathy.
Amazing. This should have been a shameful moment for management and TBN’s lack of professionalism hands them the fans support. Well done. — The Outlander (@MattyRenn) April 29, 2013
Better Days?
Only way the #sabres presser could have gone worse for the team is if they had started blaring “Better Days” at the end.

Go Bills!
April 2013: The month Bills fans became more optimistic than Sabres fans.

Poetry!
Sabres press conference in haiku… Darcy’s teams may lose / But look at all our draft picks! / Suffering ahead — Brian Donley (@Beer_Baby) April 29, 2013
So you’re telling me there’s a chance.
Do you buy mega millions lotto tickets? Your chance of winning is .0000007%. The #Sabres have a 3.5% chance of winning the lotto tonight. — Adam (@SharpndPensel) April 29, 2013
Now look what you’ve done.
I have sooooo many Sabres shirts and hoodies. I don’t even think I came close to wearing half of them this season — Chelsea (@chelydash36) April 29, 2013
This is what’s known as timeliness.
All these beautiful teams in the league and guys wanna mess with the #sabres SMH…

In conclusion…
And, that’s why the @buffalosabres didn’t hold a season-ending presser last year. #sabres

What the hell is wrong with Jerry Sullivan and Mike Harrington?? The one question I heard from Sullivan was snarky at best and at its worse condisending (sic). I don’t think Ted Black should have apologized to the media present. The unprofessionalism of the two sportswriters was out there for all to see. Both of them have a bias against the Coaching Staff and upper management since Ted Nolan was fired, and Lindy Ruff was hired . Where was Bucky Gleason?? The times I have heard him talk to Sabres Players and management at least he was respectful
Larry Felser was a consumate Ssports writer, and while he could be confrontational at times people respected him for being fair. I wonder what he would say about the dreadful display put on by Mr Harrington and Mr Sullivan??
Jerry Sullivan should get the chip off his shoulder. Totally disrespectful on his part today. Ask tough questions, but don’t think you are the “Great Wizard” of Buffalo. We as fans can make up our own minds without your sarcastic remarks. Have listened to him for many years and just have to turn the radio down when he gets on his soapbox
TBN needs to [BN]formed: if you don’t get the answers, you’re not asking the right questions.
Someday this game of tag-you’re-shit between BN and the Sabres will end. Of course, the Sabres can just wait for the Internet to kill print.
Whatever.
GO BILLS, AMIRITE
