J0e Th0rnton Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well likely they will as he has about as much value now as Keenan. Keenan is likely at the funny farm. I want Lindy backStrangely, last I heard Keenan was successfully coaching a KHL team. In fact, I think they won it all over there lol. Keenan is a good "Bridge" coach. Everyone hates his guts after a year, but he gets people's arses in line for the year he is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blocker Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I don't pretend to know why Nolan was canned. But, we do know that Nolan was hired by LaFontaine and not Murray. It's also a fact that Nolan is well-liked by Buffalo fans, most of who appreciate the job he did with the players available. For what it's worth, there's also the animosity between Pat LaFontaine and Pegula. And, no matter who Buffalo gets in the draft, it's very unlikely they'll contend next year. So, there's no sound tactical or strategic reason for replacing him. Unless Murray has some magic up his sleeve, this appears to be another stupid move by another stupid GM.

WordsOfWisdom Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Ted Nolan is the least respected coach in NHL history.... by his own management/ownership! The guy wins the Jack Adams award and gets blackballed from the league for a decade. Then he gets the glorious job of steering the Sabres while management runs them into the abyss. I think he should come to Toronto! He'll feel right at home in Leaf-land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordsOfWisdom Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 LOL. And what a story if he takes them to the playoffs and to a deep run in their first year under him. I tell you he would be a good choice for the Leafs. He would have guys like Kessel working. I feel for Ted. He deserves far better. He would strangle Phil Kessel.

WordsOfWisdom Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 No doubt. I wonder if Kessel will still be there after draft day? He could be part of a huge trade? I have no doubt the Leafs are going to move Kessel this summer (just to get rid of him), but I also know that it's going to be one of those moves where Toronto loses the trade. It'll be a trade where they have to eat 50% of his contract and in return they acquire a stiff from some other team. So when all is said and done, the Leafs will have traded away Seguin and Hamilton for nothing, getting burned twice by Kessel. (And Kessel will score 40 goals on his new team, and will get a hat trick the first time he comes back to play the Leafs.) That's how trades work out in Toronto.

ruxpin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 laughing out loud heartily!I would like to see him in Pittsburgh! I so hope he goes to Pittsburgh. Although I'd feel badly for some of my Penguins' fan friends on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If Babcock is not staying in Detroit, and if he doesn't mind working for Shanny (possibly a weird circumstance for him given the role-reversal), then he's going to Toronto. No way he ends up in Buttf###lo. Wow. This post would have made me look brilliant if it weren't for the fact I also said the complete opposite in multiple posts.

ruxpin Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 he would be better than Disco Dan! I don't see how he was at fault there in Buffalo!i We were talking about Kessel. I suspect he'd actually be okay on a team where he was the 4th or 5th deep. Or at least not supposed to be "the" guy. But I also wouldn't want to be the team that takes that risk. Are you talking about Nolan? He wasn't at fault in Buffalo. I'll never understand that firing. I'd take him if I'm Pittsburgh. I wouldn't have hated him coming to Philly either (except for the Buffalo stench). I think he's gotten screwed twice...unless there's more behind the scenes than we know.
