In addition to Don Granato (who I thought was excellent in his end-of-season media availability), my sense is their circle includes Bruce Boudreau, Greg Carvel of NCAA champion UMass, Penn State’s Guy Gadowsky, Providence’s Nate Leaman and Tocchet, among others. From 31 Thoughts. CAWLIDGE HAWKEEY!!!! Dear God just shoot me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His beloved Penn State is the ultimate place to look for a hockey hire...outside of the HatborCenter that is. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Cross Tocchet off the list. The Sabres are the only team He did not have a second interview with. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the sort of person to turn my back on this team and move forward, I would have done it decades ago! Probably some time in the 1980s. LOL. I feel like we are stuck with the team and we can't do anything about it. I'm not sure there is a single "final nail in the coffin" event or decision that would make me forget the Sabres exist for a few years. I kind of wish there was, to be honest.

Wouldn’t cross him off the list - he might just not be interviewing again this week with us. Doesn’t mean he can’t next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think they should interview Luke Richardson. He has an AHL Championship win and is currently on the Canadiens bench as an assistant to Ducharme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblings are they are having a 3rd interview with a guy named Jerry Pegula. Looks a lot like Terry but with a ZZ Top beard. If hired, he might have his wife on the bench with him.😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 So far? Sticking with Granato. All these others don't see them as better unless maybe BB just because of more NHL experience. Still Granato has experience and I liked the response the team had to his coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODO Hockey Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) If anyone can do it it will be Rikard. He has the tools to coach on NHL level, he has been living in the us for 20 years and has the experiance required to succeed with elite players. But most likely this wont happen, this org is to keen to hire trash, aslong as they are mediatrained. Edit: I also believe that Rikard is the one that can make Jack take the leap to become the captain he should've been already.

All he needs now is an eyepatch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
