spndnchz Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Anyone else having issues with NHL video? Regardless of the team, if it's coming from the NHL video server, it's borked on my end. And that's over 4 different computers, and I have FIOS. Nevermind...if I turn the tracking back on, it works fine. Figures...NHL can't respect your privacy (pronounced "priv - eh - see"). Yeah. I need to turn ghostery off to watch anything. Quote
nfreeman Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Nolan should be all signed up by the end of the week. Good info. Thanks. And great news for the Sabres! Quote
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 This is also VERY good news for players like Ott and Moulson who seem to love the guy. I think it is good news for Murray who has to recruit some free agents this summer and sign our up and coming young talent. Players definitely about which coaches they like and don't like amongst themselves... Quote
... Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Anyone know what the average annual salary of a NHL coach is? Quote
Brawndo Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I like the way you think. We may not have much talent, but our boys certainly play hard for Ted. I cannot wait to see what Nolan does with some real talent on this team Edited March 10, 2014 by BRAWNDO Quote
spndnchz Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Anyone know what the average annual salary of a NHL coach is? I think Nolan is @800k. Highest ones are like 3 mill. So I guess in between somewhere. Quote
Jsixspd Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Great news - hope Ted stays around. The transformation in some of the players, Tyler Myers especially, is nothing sort of night and day. Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Yeah. I need to turn ghostery off to watch anything. So...you usually want to turn Ghostery on? And I'd let you watch whatever you want....except that Housewives stuff..... Quote
K-9 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 I'm looking at a Pens scenario. He'll get us close and then the new coach wins the cup. Erudite. GO SABRES!!! Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Great news - hope Ted stays around. The transformation in some of the players, Tyler Myers especially, is nothing sort of night and day. Stafford has been much better under Nolan too. Quote

I think BUF airport is shut down right now....maybe not for charters? Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 2h Ted Nolan's three-year contract extension with BUF in hands of lawyers. Contract language still being finalized. Not "done" quite yet. Quote

LastPommerFan Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 My guess is that Nolan knows Pegula doesn't care about the Money, so he wants employment assurances that go beyond dollars and cents. He wants a guarantee that he will be the head coach for the entire 3 year period. The Lawyers are trying to figure out how to write that. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 He wants a guarantee that he will be the head coach for the entire 3 year period. The Lawyers are trying to figure out how to write that. A contract that somehow prohibits the franchise from firing the coach? That would be a first, I think. Quote

Rasmus_ Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 I think he's getting players to play the way they need to. He's really helped Tyler Myers and to some degree lately Tyler Ennis. He's the perfect guy to have as our coach going forward in the interim. He's deserves the chance to watch this team grow. While the wins aren't there in leaps and bounds, we've got a much higher compete mentality since he's come back. Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I'm looking at a Pens scenario. He'll get us close and then the new coach wins the cup. I think that this is too close to the old bad Sabres thinking. I prefer this line of Thinking: The only thing that matters is the crest and the city. As long as those things are in tact, I don't care who is on the team or in the organization when we win the cup, just win the cup. I think Nolan is aware of all of this. I think his goal is to win it before they have a chance to hand the team to someone else. If you think he's pushing the players to play hard now, just wait until the team is competitive; I think you'll see him go to full crop. Edited March 18, 2014 by Neuvirths Glove Quote
G-Daddy Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Perhaps part of the delay is ability to hire his own assistants. Quote
LastPommerFan Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Perhaps part of the delay is ability to hire his own assistants. I hadn't though of that. Do you think they might be forcing him to hire Battista as an Associate Coach for PK and Goalies? Quote

MattPie Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 I hadn't though of that. Do you think they might be forcing him to hire Battista as an Associate Coach for PK and Goalies? Of course not. Battista will be the first-line center. Quote
Peter Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) A contract that somehow prohibits the franchise from firing the coach? That would be a first, I think. Your comment was my reaction as well. TN is getting the guys to play better than they did with Rolston (who had no business coaching in the NHL when he was hired). Nevertheless, let's stop pretending that Ted is Scotty Bowman. We could do worse and we can do better. If he signs an extension, I wish him all the best - yet, there should not be any guaranty in his contract that he remain as the head coach through the term of his contract. His history does not compel any such guaranty (in fact, the opposite). If he does not sign the extension, I am ok with that as well. Edited March 18, 2014 by Peter Quote
