The Next Coach of the Buffalo Sabres

Get to know Randy Carlyle.

I would actually listen to this idea.  He has a Stanley Cup to his resume and although the leafs were horrible I think that's a product of their roster.  Look how far that tank job went after he was fired.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Run away, run far far away!

 

The players quitting on the interim coach does not mean what Carlyle did was good. If you like getting out-shot by 15 every night, Carlyle would be a great hire. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

To add to the Carlyle point, he had a .600 winning percentage with the Ducks plus a cup.  He also had a .554 winning percentage with the leafs.  That second stat is pretty impressive with that roster.

They moved on so quickly, it only took them an entire day to stop whining lividly about not getting Babdick.

 

Sounds to me like someone mischaracterized Murray/Pegula's reaction...perhaps a reaction in the moment, but, if Murray is being honest (which I have no reason to doubt), they go right back to business.

You don't think that was mainly the fact that you had Tyler Bozak as your number 1 centre through the entire coaching tender??

Good interview with Murray on WGR.  I guess that puts some things in their places...unless you don't believe him.  :w00t:

He sounds believable. But of course an organization in the Sabres' position would have every reason to play nice. The truth is almost certainly somewhere in the middle.

Or the PR guys told him not to repeat the lottery pseudo-controversy.

Probably as simple as the insiders heard the initial reaction second-hand and weren't far wrong, but the public isn't going to get confirmation.

Carlyle's coaching and system are in the wrong time in NHL history. The Ducks possession numbers increased significantly when he left, and the Leafs did too even if the players ended up quitting. I honestly don't know if I'd watch games if Carlyle were named coach, that's how bad I think he is. May as well have kept Nolan.

Fair points.  Doing some additional research and it appears Corsi numbers were horrendous.  Moving on.

I want to see a Stanley Cup winning coach working for the Sabres this fall.  My needs are simple - I don't want to waste years on an experiment with an AHL coach, or someone without a winning track record, hoping they'll succeed.    

We need a proven producer on the team.
