No way new voices are needed and new attitudes as well, let the housecleaning begin.

"Agreed but let's give Myers, Ennis, Foligno, Hodgson a chance before a house cleaning. I think you will see them become different players, maybe better."


I am sad to say this was conventional wisdom once upon a time.

Per Bobby Mac

The way this was framed, McLellan didn't pass his interview. So be it. The search... continues!

"Todd McLellan is no longer a consideration to be the head coach in BUF. The Sabres identified McLellan as a candidate and had some dialogue this week but an offer/deal never formalized/finalized. The expectation is McLellan may be the next head coach in LA."

Almost seems like Buffalo was Todd's first choice. As it should have been, based on personnel.

I suppose if two minutes is a lot of time. All ya gotta do is recall what year/month he was fired and search Garth's archive.

But yes, for the next hour, I have a lot of time.

McLellan was certainly a candidate in BUF but one of a number of candidates BUF had after firing Phil Housley. The Sabres are continuing their search process.

It's a good sign that Botterill, check that, Kim Pegula, is taking their time to identify exactly the traits they are looking for in their next guy.

We're all here for entertainment, right. There's some gold nuggets in there worth mining out.

Also, I wanted to drive the point home. Don't forget how we felt when Lindy was fired.

Well, now at least the media can hone in on the other two mystery candidates instead of focusing on TM.

I heard from my uncle's housekeeper's tax attorney that Kim Pegula is pushing for Hayley Wickenheiser

Lance Lysowski has a source that tells him they're [still] targeting an experienced coach.

Doesn't say anything about retread or AHL. But it appears they're not hunting the other side of the pond or assistant and/or amateur league coaches.

Keefe, Donatelli, perhaps another AHL head coach..

Granted, Gronborg does technically have head coaching experience. I'd be pretty damn surprised at this point, though.
