I'm not gonna lie, I didn't expect them to do anywhere near this well in the tournament when I saw the initial roster. I think they've done pretty well all things considered.

I think.. The Score reported last night that the Leafs were making a last ditch effort at Babcock. I copied the tweet on here last night, but the beers got the best of me. Sounds to me as if the laffs are going to lose this battle.

I just can't imagine him choosing Toronto over Buffalo if dollars and cents are the same, which I'm sure Pegula would match any offer Toronto makes.

I'm going round 2 tonight with what's left of a case of Genny Red Eyes. Last night was a draw.

Of course, it's not ALL about money, but I'm sure it helps. Has to be a fit. There's speculation all over the internet based on MSM reading between lines, but Babcock himself hasn't said a word about what he wants to a single reporter or insider. It's been assumed he wants a winner or soon to be winner. No matter where he ends up, I'd love to hear his presser, see what he reveals. As it stands, the only teams he can go to is Toronto, Buffalo and Detroit. I wouldn't really be interested in hearing his presser in Detroit, and based on the fact the he's been allowed to speak with other teams, it seems unlikely to me that he returns to Detroit. Eklund somehow didn't have this line of logic, but that guy gets things wrong 99.9% of the time. Even his E4's are wrong most of the time. Anyways. Seeing as Toronto and Buffalo were the only teams who filed, it can be assumed that any of the teams who have spoken with him got an idea if he'd be interested. As it stands, it's been reported that he only visited Toronto and Buffalo. And those are the only two teams who filed, which means there's a chance, probably a really good chance, he goes to one of the two teams. Next, another assumption is made, using the Sportsnet report that the Leafs were making a 'last ditch effort' to convince Babcock to sign with them makes me believe they are more likely than not out of the hunt. This leaves me to believe, based on the information that has been revealed to us, that Buffalo is the most likely landing spot for Babcock.

1. Buffalo
2. Toronto
3. Detroit

I still say Luke Richardson
- SABRES 89

What is so special about this Luke Richardson guy?
What can he offer the Sabres that any other coach can not do?
I don't want just any other bum to become the next head coach of the Sabres.

If Murray is a control freak, it is

I am convinced Babcock is coming here

You see, he can have ego, attitude, or whatever.
As long as he can help us win our 1st CUP, I don't care about anything else.

only one coach won a cup with multiple teams in the history of modern NHL



I honestly doubt Detroit matches 6 mil per, as they really havn't won sh@t over the last 5 years, even though I blame that more on the GM
