deluca67 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 It's almost like history repeating it's self. Back in '78 Chuck Knox joined the Bills and then in '79 Bowman joined the Sabres. This season Rex Ryan joined the Bills and now Mike Babcock is about to join the Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm chuckling at the idea that Murray would let Babcock slip away. Babcock can pretty much ask for whatever he wants, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruppstahl Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm chuckling at the idea that Murray would let Babcock slip away. Babcock can pretty much ask for whatever he wants, no? I would hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm chuckling at the idea that Murray would let Babcock slip away. Babcock can pretty much ask for whatever he wants, no? Probably, but I can see TP getting put off if Babcock is unreasonable. (But Babcock doesn't seem like he would be unreasonable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Let's please have this be like history IMPROVING itself. Are you suggesting that the Knox/Bowman years were less than stellar around here!? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not quite sure where Kypreos is going here: So what does Babcock do with his new amazing long term #Sabres offer, accept? He wouldn't try and shop it back to #Redwings would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't try and shop it back to #Redwings would he? I'm always intrigued by who these anonymous sources are and why they talk. What's your take on the source being someone close to Babcock — in other words, are negotiations going on informally through the media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I vote for "CRO-MO" which of course is short for "Cro-Magnon Man." Babcock has a certain je ne sais quoi about him that shouts out "Upper Paleolithic" if you ask me. :unsure: Unfrozen Caveman Hockey Coach?.

Babcock probably said I want to give the Wings a chance to match. Then there is this @pham1717: It's better than that https://t.co/4fpfRvHJPK Please be right Hamilton Edited May 19, 2015 by BRAWNDO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
