Boudreau out in Minnesota

[matter2003]

Always seems he gets good results short term but fails long term as a coach...

His specialty is turn arounds so that probably precludes him coming here

Boudreau, Gallant, Laviolette, Babcock is an interesting pool to choose from for teams getting ready to fire coaches.

Which one shows up in Minnesota next week?  Who has ties to Guerin?  ?

We are definitely not firing our coach. I can see our GM being fired and the new GM agreeing to keep RK on as head coach.

I don't think anyone is sincerely advocating to bring Boudreau in.

In your mind that may be true. In reality, someone is sincerely advocating bringing Brucey in.

Wouldn't surprise me...there are still people that want Nolan back.

This is not surprising.  Although it's not his fault, but the team has been average at best the several years

Boudreau is a good coach, I believe.  Hasn’t had a great deal of success in the playoffs, but I can’t see how that would affect Buffalo at all.

[Indabuff]

Don't let him out of the building!

Damn, disregard...I thought this was the Danny Gare thread...

Well, considering Minnesota is 7-3-1 in their last 11, it is a safe bet 1 of them will be announced as the next head coach tomorrow morning.

I'd go w/ Gallant, but that SOB Lavialette would be a good choice as well.

The Sabres have hired every coach that's been fired?

No, but we've been right that they should have hired every coach that's been fired.?

Why would an organization that has missed the playoffs for nearly a decade want to hire a coach who has a lengthy track record of constantly making the playoffs in multiple organizations?
