Finally It’s Yesterday! Sabres Announce Ralph Krueger Is relieved of His Coaching Duties

[ExWNYer]

It only took a freaking 12 game losing streak. I guess losing to the only foe you could actually beat this season in NJ was the final straw.

I think Washington was the final straw. It took a hot second to get Pegulas' approval. 

Is the ***** defensive coach still here? That guy needs to go too, Steve Smith.

Must have been tough rousing him from his 10 year sleep...

This is the most exciting news about the Sabres since the last time we made a personnel change!

I dont care how bad this season looks, all i care about was to see this dumb moron get fired. 

God,

 

Today is a good day.

I wouldn’t put the new guy behind the bench yet.   He won’t stand a chance with the current goaltenders.   Wait till either Ullmark returns or summer 

and Hire BB

I'd have liked to see them use this time to get started on implementing a new system 

[WildCard]

Halfway there. Now fire Adams.

.....  and there was much rejoicing.

Sad but had to happen. Gallant or Boudreau.  Need a veteran coach.

That's why I did it. Also that guy is hilarious in the video.

Doesn't mean that much to me honestly if we are just bridging to a new first-timer who the Pegulas feel confident commanding

I'm even happier than I was on Drew Stafford Day.

[WildCard]

How many ex coaches/FO people are the Sabres still paying now?

[bob_sauve28]

I wonder how Skinner reacted to the news 

[LGR4GM]

Ralph's last game strategy according to witnesses.

Who knows.  Put a pressure release valve was opened and at an honest evaluation can begin. Whether they are capable of doing that evaluation is another question.

Hopefully Gallant is on a plane. Other teams had an immediate replacement. I don’t want Don Granato.

[Brawndo]

Steve Smith fired as well

If Granato has good ideas on how to fix the way we play I wonder why he didn't speak up before? Or maybe he doesn't have them? Will that allow for a thorough evaluation? 

I don't really want to get all negative here, I do obviously agree Krueger needed to go. To me it's just about what comes next
