The Pegula's were seen as "saviors" of the Buffalo sports scene because they purchased the Sabres and kept them there. Since a hot start and a new arena, the Sabres have been awful.
The reason why they were chosen as owners over Donald Trump, Jon Bon Jovi, et al, is that they promised to keep the Bills in Buffalo, with the possibility of massive renovations or a new stadium, whereas the other potential owners wouldn't make that promise.
They have no idea as to how to run a sports franchise, so no, this isn't shocking.
