Just to clarify, I was referring to Ted Black.
:lol:
-
Hammond's run is incredibly lucky. It won't last. He was a .900 AHL goalie for a reason
It's hard to see PAtrick Lalime, Steve Penney or so many other flashes in the pan there, isn't it?
-
I don't know why it is so hard to think that Murray thought the team was going to to be better, then did his best to sell off pieces when it was clear that they weren't. Teams do that every year.
-
I absolutely think Murray already knows who the next coach is going to be and knows that he will except. When describing what he is looking for, it's the one time in the entire press conference where he looks relaxed and, dare I say, happy?
Good take.
Murray was as twitchy as I've seen him yesterday and what you describe was noticeable.
-
Interesting listening to Sylvester trying to tear Nolan down as unable to get with his GM's program.
We're overthinking this. Man, Murray's moves last offseason were brilliant mind-######.
We are overthinking this.
Nolan didn't click with Murray or his program.
It's pretty simple.
-
Also, sounds like at least some of the players threw Teddy under the bus.
Hasn't been enough talk about this IMO.
Murray stressed that all players said Teddy was a good man, but some obviously raised flags with their statements. What were they?
Did Tim go in with some pointed questions about specific areas of concern?
Did the players grudgingly give honest answers or did they come in with an agenda?
Were the kids whining? Did Teddy quietly lose the support of the vets?
Did Murray hear what he wanted to hear?
Murray pretty clearly gives a lot of respect on Gionta. What did he have to say?
-
Pretty sure Murray has little interest in building a relationship with his new coach.
He's looking to hire someone who he already has a relationship with.
I am getting the distinct impression that Murray has pretty loose lips away from the cameras.
With Myers and now Nolan, we're starting to see that smoke can equal fire where he is concerned.
There's a past with Babcock and Richardson.
It's odd Babcock has yet to sign with Detroit.
It's eye-browing raising that a young up-and-comer like Richardson didn't jump at the Ottawa job.
I will be very surprised if it's not one or the other.
-
See eleven's narrative; Murray built a team that he thought would be better, but not enough to not be in the lottery. When it was clear the team wasn't even going to meet those meager expectations, he did what any GM would do and went full bore for 30th.
That's been my narrative all season.
Murray inherited Nolan, but gave him a shot to prove himself.
They didn't click personally, the team didn't perform as well as Murray expected them to and (most importantly) the kids didn't grow the way he needed them to.
Teds a good man, and I could see why some are disappointed he lost his job.
But this is one of the least surprising firings I can recall.
-
You're a cold man.
ZFG

I would be very, very surprised if Marcus Foligno is on the fourth line next year.
Kid grew a ton this year and the organization loves him.
-
So, after watching that, my question is:
How many of those stupid Ted Nolan coaching decisions this year were Teddy playing Angotti?
And if that is the case, how can we, in good conscience, fire him?
-
- Nolan gets fired
So does Cassidy in Rochester
Sabres win lottery, take McDavid
Girgorenko traded
Murray moves up in the draft to take a defenceman
Team takes on a big contract from a cap-strapped team
One promising young goalie acquired via trade
Neuvirth re-signed to a modest contract
One mid-roster veteran free agent skater signed
Hudson Fasching signed, plays with the Amerks
A handful of youngish AHLers signed (D'Amigo/Varone types) in bid to rebuild the farm
Babcock signs the biggest contract ever by an NHL coach
Kaleta is told to look for another NHL job, and that if he doesn't get one he has a job with the organization.
Benoit, Meszaros, Strachan, Lindback, Hackett, Dalpe, Sundher, Liewen, Gauthier-Leduc and Samuels-Thomas not offered contracts in low-roster purge
Ellis re-signed with the intent of playing him in Rochester
Reinhart makes the team -
Wonder when we will get the Nolan announcement.
I'm guessing Monday or Tuesday.
-
Pavelec has an entire career of below average play. He's had an alright year, but I don't trust him at all.
That's where I am too.
Pulling for those guys though.
-
Pretty sure it's 21, not 22. According to NHL.com they're in 10th which => pick 21 pre-playoff juggling.
It's 21 and will improve one spot for every team below them that makes the final four.
It could also drop to 27 if the Islanders and the Blues make the final four and 29 if the Islanders and the Blues play in the finals.
There are also some in-between scenarios where the Blues go out early and the Isles make the final four.
-
I will be very surprised if there is not a new top-four defenceman with a big contract playing in Buffalo next year, either a salary dump or a UFA signing.
-
This fan based is so bruised.
-
Any team that completely drops interest because of a weak 3 game stretch is incompetent.
Any team that doesn't pay careful attention to how somebody plays during the most important games is incompetent.
It hurts his value. It doesn't erase it.
-
Eichel is going second no matter who is picking, no matter if he delays turning pro or not.
-
At least we got RJ, right?
Amen
-
Hackett and Lindback UFAs.
And I would be shocked if the coaches are back.
-
Strachan and Mess won't be back. Be very surprised if Dalpe and Varone play again beyond an emergency call-up.
-
Might be the last time we are going to see Kaleta or Ellis.
-
Blargh...
This one turned into a snoozefest.
Columbus just came from 3-1 down to tie the Islanders for anyone who cares about our second pick.
About 8 minutes left.
The Reasons to Hate Tim Murray Thread

Question: is there anyone professing hate for Murray who didn't want Nolan to stay on?
