Guys I'm really rattled someone bring me closure

Ok so this is about Pegula offering the highest contract to Babcock. Think you misunderstood.

I guess I did misunderstand. Though it appears the Leafs actually offered more. I get your point though. I just don't see a problem with it if it doesn't negatively effect us.

Ask Ted Nolan if you don't believe me.

I just got off the phone with him. He says you're wrong.

I'll be more pissed if we hire richerdson than losing out on Babcock

 

[FearTheBeard]

I don't get the Bylsma hate. Id love to have him

 

[wshahbaz]

BTW, last night everyone said the Leafs were out

Buff could be back in tonight. Not that anyone even wants that. Just hire someone to sit in for these next 2 years like the last coach please

Players and coaches know they can use Buffalo to get more money. If you think about it we can still be used in the future. Players and coaches need to want to come here.

Not pissed but I'm with you. I don't see why people want a development coach in the NHL? The NHL is not a place to develop, that's for the AHL. The NHL is a place for coaches with a plan to win.

he turns getting out-coached into an artform

 

[Clock]

At least he's effectively neutralized in TO. Hopefully he wasn't lying / exaggerating about not wanting to go to a contender and Toronto goes for a re-tooling again.

So why can't that someone be Richardson????

 

[Beerz]

No biggie.

Onwards and upwards.

Just logged on for the first time since this morning. Very disappointing news, but we shall overcome.

I am curious how Buffalo spins this when they do hire a coach.

Any coach interviewing there will know beyond a doubt that they weren't their #1 choice.

Babcock will be available again in three years when the leafs still suck and the sabres are ready to win.

Its the people who have no idea what they are talking about and think the Olympics mean anything. People honestly have no idea how bad Shero and Fleury were.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

No biggie.

Onwards and upwards.

Onwards forsure,
Downwards as well.

Babcock is elite

That is a non issue. Any coach looking for a job knows its business.

 

[Chad Thundercock]

This honestly isn't sour grapes, if Babcock is really demanding to be paid 3x more than every coach, then I think it's for the best he's not here. Throughout sports, people who sign solely for the $$$ usually goes poorly.

Now just don't sign someone who 'fits Buffalo' like Bylsma.

 

[Zman5778]

Onwards forsure,
Downwards as well.

We've finished last in the NHL the last 2 seasons.

How much further down can we get????

 

[OkimLom]

Oh well, time to move on. No use in dwelling over losing him.

 

[Grinder44]

Meh. Wasn't sold on all the Babcock hype. He's a very good coach, but you had to kind of suspect things would end this way... after all, we are Buffalo sports fans!

 

[FearTheBeard]

Pittsburgh didn't exactly thrive without him

They're not replacing Babcock. They're replacing Nolan. Upward.

 

[Afino]

In the NHL you need elite to win. It's no different for coaching.
