Fair question.

Some of my disdain for Murray certainly stems from and for the way I feel he tossed Teddy under the bus at I believe what was the Myers/Kane trade presser.

He took some blame for what was going on but not nearly enough.

In other words, I have a low tolerance threshold for people that push blame upon others, especially publicly because to me, that only makes them more the POS.

But hey, I am just one guy with just one opinion.

If Nolan wants to and is welcomed back next year with a better roster and is given an honest chance to coach an NHL team that is being run by a GM that is honestly trying to win, my disdain for Murray will certainly lessen.

Scotty Bowman would not have done much better this season with this roster.

I hope I answered your question.

Bowman years were not all that good. He made the playoffs all but 1 year and we were done after the 1st round. His years here were not some of his better ones.

But our goalies, as bad as they are, will not jump out of the way to make sure the shot goes in. They will not win a game, unless they have 30th sealed. No, we are not splitting anything. They will make sure we win both games. Count on it.

I certainly hope Teddy succeeds because as everyone knows I think the guy is A OK in my book.
I have sat down with the man quite a few times and I love his passion for coaching and the game.
But if he is given a legitimate shot to coach a real NHL roster with a GM really trying to win and in the end he fails, I will certainly accept that as well.

Good point Cab.
I was talking collectively though.
Career - NHL - 2141 games 1244 wins 573 losses 314 ties 10 otl 2812 pts.
I'll still go to the corner though in shame.

I'm in the realm of thinking that Teddy definitely deserves one season with our "complete" roster before we fire him or anything. Having to coach this team the last couple of years is definitely not fun. It would be interesting to see his performance with a truly solid roster.

I may not like his style, but if he gets us wins when we're supposed to get them, and isn't starting bums over kids for no reason, I have no issue with him.

Buffalo sports fans have PTSD. You can freak people out with just that.

Absolutely.

It was one of those "Oh no..." moments.

It may even take less now that I think about it.

"Buffalo has..."

That may be all it takes to start mass hysteria.

Did Whaley leave his phone after a Team Pegula meeting and Murray pick it up?

A legitimate Coyotes fan. I am sure there are a few others, but I have not seen them.

Even if we split with the Yotes, we will get 30th with ease. As bad as the Yotes are, sabres are much worse.

Have to give props for this post. I was expecting something else when I clicked, expecting something else when I saw their name but was very pleasantly surprised by them. A nice, non-pretentious sound that isn't sleazy and does the job.

Very good, sir.

Ever hear of Nightwish? They're a Finnish band and a hybrid of symphonic/folk metal, but they have some great Gaelic sounding songs such as this one http://youtu.be/GwES9M0isVM
