Listening to the excitement in Derek Plante’s voice, it was as if he had just scored off Ron Tugnutt’s glove all over again.
“The old team is coming back!” Plante said by phone. “It’s great.”
News traveled fast last week when the Sabres brought back Pat LaFontaine and Ted Nolan to run the organization and coach the team. Folks greeted the hirings with almost universal acceptance, and that was especially true for the alumni.
“It’s a good recipe to try to fix this thing,” former defenseman Garry Galley said. “This was the smartest, best move to make to settle everything down. It’s an opportunity to come together and get this thing turned around because that’s a great market. I loved my time there, so I’d like to see it get turned around and back to where it belongs.” http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/inside-the-nhl/inside-the-nhl-by-john-vogl-alumni-happy-to-see-sabres-moves-20131117
