Ted Nolan heads to the ice for his first practice as #Sabres interim head coach. https://twitter.com/kwsnow/status/400674497197776896/photo/1
Hardest working team in hockey.
Also, since its the late 90's I'm gonna throw on a little Limp Bizkit, and watch my VHS of Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock
He's played in both positions, IIRC. We have a lack of quality Cs, so there's a chance he'll play center in the Olympics as well.Did Nolan play Girgensons on the wing or center for Latvia?
@BNHarrington
Ott says his cell phone has blown up with texts from NHL players telling him how good it will be to have Nolan.
You haven't done that since the 90's? WTF is wrong with you!?!
It's a chance to get back into the NHL with a town he is familiar with.
He took his shot.
@SabresProspects: Hardest Working Team in Hockey. "If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em up". First two games for Nolan? Toronto back-to-back. #Sabres
Should be fun this weekend.
06/07 Isles: 40-30-12. 92 pts. Lost in first round
07/08 Isles: 34-38-9. 79 points. 13th in the East
It’s been a long time since I saw Ted Nolan behind the Sabre bench… One memory I’ll never forget took place in Montreal when coach Nolan was chewing at the Habs.. Lyle Odelein (Habs player at the time) got so mad at Ted he shot the puck at him just missing his head….
I had the opportunity to speak with Lyle about that back in 2001 and he told me he did it because Nolan ticked him off but everyone likes Teddy… there were no hard feelings just the heat of battle…
Nolan would need team to play .661 hockey to make playoffs, 108-point pace, based on 91-point finish.Good luck with that. If he ever did it, I think he'd be coach of the year.
I think I'm more interested in what Nolan can get out of guys like Stafford and Myers more than I am the young guys. It'll be interesting to see if he can get them to buy into his philosophy, Stafford particularly.
I'd love to know what they were thinking when Pat announced the coaching change.

What to expect with Ted Nolan running the ship. If you work real hard, you'll love him.
If you don't work hard - you will be very soon!"
Well then...
