  4. Should Ted Nolan Coach Buffalo Next Year?

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    You expect to land Babcock????  I wouldn't bet the farm on that one.   I would love to have him here I just don't see it happening....

     

    IF they don't land Babcock then give ole Teddy another shot.  I don't want them to bring in a completely unproven coach like Richardson.  Let him stew a bit in the AHL to see how well he can coach. 

    This one's tricky. Young(ish), first-time GM and Stanley Cup winner and hot commodity Mike Babcock? I bet Murray would rather have his boy Richardson. It gets tricky if TPegs wants Babcock and lays down the law. Yummy.

    Yep.

     

    Although it's less "sweating" and more like embracing the grim realization that we're heading for the worst ending to a season in Buffalo history. (Yes, worse than the Super Bowl losses.  Worse than Homerun Throw-forward.  Worse than Brett Hull.  Worse than Darius Kasparitis.  Worse than Jay McKee's staph infection.)

    Tannahill with the youngest combover in human history, only 17 or 18! And look at Sanderson. And Lorentz.

    OK, these photos (apparently) are from later on. Because I got to Danny Seguin at the link below and was like WTF is going on here!

    Release starving badgers.

     

    Seriously, with ratings and attendance strong and the league flush with cash from that big Canadian broadcasting deal, what would the impetus be for such dramatic change? This is a traditional sport with traditional fans who are going to watch no matter what. I hate to say it, but the changes after the lockout are now starting to look like gimmickry intended to make sure fans came back.

    I really think it is. It's gotta be. 

    It could be his dad, yes. If you told me this was a home game for Niagara Falls, I would be more inclined to believe it (pulling double duty). But there doesn't seem to be a big ruckus when the Flyers score to make it 5-4. Another mystery is why Rick said that goal made it 5-4 Flyers, when he had earlier said it was 5-3 Kitchener.

    Rick was 23, 24. :)

    Is RJ doing the PA calls as well off mic? It sure sounded like he was announcing the penalties in the arena. 

    His voice isn't as musical yet. As he matures his voice gets a little deeper and smoother and the lilt he uses becomes more sing-song. 

    I think that's what I love about RJ, especially mature RJ. His calls are like music. The rise and fall, the stops and starts, you can almost see the notes on the page in your head. 

    On a second listen, it's totally Rick doing the PA calls in addition to the play by play. That's awesome. 

    Boy, I dunno! It's close. I'd vote no.

    What a find. So interesting. A student of mass communication could do a great paper on this. Was he Rick yet? Listen to the language. How did it evolve? I like the goal call at the end. The quip is the deadpan Jeanneret we came to know and love. I just love this. God bless the Internet. Thank you, Al Gore! (I'm still hoping to find Rick's call of the Bisons' Calder Cup championship. It might be the closest we come to the real thing.)

    You don't increase the rink size, you do what they did 100 years ago: you reduce the number of skaters.

    The people who don't want that don't really want flow.

    Two questions. Would the PA be in favor of that? I think I've heard that would be a sticking point. Also, wouldn't the Ken Hitchcocks and Lou L.'s in the league just find new ways of defending it?

    I think I do. I'm coming around to the idea that this organization has to preserve at least a little of its dignity. They can't come off as total dirtballs. Besides, they may not be in position to be much better next season — see Murray's quote about hoping to be better while still being in the lottery — and it might just fit Murray's overall plan to have Nolan coach a second season. Finish the job of changing the culture and raising the kids.

  23. BREAKING: Sabres recall Listeria-tainted hummus

    in The Aud Club

    Now THIS is tanking! Perhaps this is the nuclear option IKP was hinting at? The hummus, recalled from Roch, will be strategically placed on the buffet table at the Sabres' pregame meal in Columbus. But is this cutting it too close? How long will it take for the players to start dropping?

    Wait, what's that? (gorby holds one hand to ear) I'm being told from the control room that SABRA recalled the hummus. SABRA. @fakegorbyportwinestain regrets the error.
