Fire Ted now, there's no reason to wait

[Skooby]

Ted knows he's the walking dead, so why should he not try and go nuclear & get to 28 before being canned ?? Ted coached the leagues worst team so there's no where to go for him, **** can him not before it's too late !! Tank or stank !!

[SpikedLemonade]

I hope Murray does that and then I would like Betman to step in and take the Sabres first pick away.

Someone has to protect the integrity of the game.

[Woodman]

Beat the Bruins after playing yesterday .... yup get rid of him lmfao.

[Skooby]

I hope Murray does that and then I would like Betman to step in and take the Sabres first pick away.

In your dreams, watch the Sabres tank and enjoy their new found future success.

[BuffaloRedleg]

I wish someone could explain why tanking is dishonorable.

It's a friggen game. A GAME. People go to work every day and do things they don't love, why are athletes exempt? Get over it. Oh Teddy Nolan etc your game is so sacred give me a break. The only reason these games exist is because of fans and we want to see a winning product. We finally have a GM who legit is willing to do what is necessary and the damn coach is going to blow it.

And spiked, you were all about the Bills tanking but somehow the Sabres is shameful? I mean I know you are just trolling but come on dude some of us have known you for a while. It's a silly tired act.

These sports have been deliberately changed to be "star-centered" so to pretend that stars aren't necessary and worth tanking for is just false. In the NFL you absolutely have to have a superb QB, and in the NHL/NBA you absolutely have to have top studs in your lineup. They convoluted the rules this way and create masturbatory commercials etc about these stars, so nobody should be surprised. There is zero incentive to not tank if your team isn't close to a spot.

[BuffaloRedleg]

Oh and you really cared about the integrity of the NFL.

You are a joke dude and one weak troll.

We've been watching you for years and it is a tired act.

You know was well as we do tanking can create great teams, it happens all the time.

Any idea about the "integrity" of the game is just absurd. I'm sick of hearing about "integrity" as a Bills and Sabres fan. I want to win, and you know you do with the Bills too.

Save it.

What?! I have never heard this before. Please tell us again how the Sabres are killing the integrity of the game.

[coastal]

Nolan has the entire team bought in and ready to kill the hopes and dreams of the Sabres ever getting a generational talent on this team again.

Buffalo is going to finish in 28th place and may very well draft 4th overall and have to psych itself up for Strome.

That's why it's time to cut the head off the snake.

[Novacane]

They should of fired him a couple months ago. They'd have 30th wrapped up!

[Downinfloflo]

[JATMtheJATM]

3 points back, no games in hand.

its one win. if there is a spot youd rather be in right now, id have to disagree.

[Downinfloflo]

Sabres remaining schedule, Lot's of bottom feeders left to play for the Sabres...And It's fantastic watching you FANS panic over winning..

17331

[coastal]

you just know it isnt happening.

Hanafin, Marner or Strome....

take your pick because McEichel isn't coming to Buffalo.

[SpikedLemonade]

"But...but...but...what choice did the Sabres have other than to tank? There is no other way to be successful in the NHL."

[don137]

One can't fire a coach because their goalies seem to always play great and they are at risk of not finishing last.

I have no problem trading guys in last year of contract in a rebuild but the guys on the ice need to play to win and so does the coach. It is wrong for an owner or GM to ask otherwise by firing the coach or asking them not to try.

Personally, I feel Arizona and Toronto are hurting the integrity of the league a lot more than Buffalo. Arizona traded away their top two players including Yandle who is in his prime and not on last year of contract in order to tank. To tank by trading away players in prime and not in last year of contract because they are good players is worse than what Buffalo is doing. Arizona can't even score goals and have 3 goals in last 5 games.

Toronto I feel is the worst of all because they are not even putting in any effort. Buffalo may not have talent but the players are at least trying to win. Can't say that about Toronto. I have never seen a professional team not try like the Leafs are doing.

[Skooby]

You do what's best for the organization, Nolan needs to get in line and get to losing now or get the ax.

[Downinfloflo]

After the trade deadline Nolan told Lindbach now is your chance to prove to everyone you can play, And now's your chance to make them eat crow.

He also told the guys this is your platform to show the rest of the NHL what you can do, You may not get signed here, But you may get a job somewhere.

Don't let this chance pass you by.

He's an evil man, And he must be stopped. :rain:

[coastal]

Nolan is going to end up becoming one of the most hated men in the history of Buffalo sports.

What's ironic about that is his career could be viewed by some as being akin to your typical WNY... a victim of circumstances bigger than them, and when he tried to stand up for himself multiple times throughout his career, the man kept him down.

how many WNYers would love to show the man up?

Teddy is about to do exactly that.

for as much as I want McEichel, I am rooting for Ted. I think he's a great coach.

[Skooby]

Ted needs to go, give him a ticket out of town now.

[JATMtheJATM]

Ted needs to go, give him a ticket out of town now.

Goodness. It's one game. Calm yourselves.

[Skooby]

Goodness. It's one game. Calm yourselves.

This season is a lynchpin to our future success, we can't fail to get one of 2 generational players available.

[JATMtheJATM]

If they do, they do. It's one win, Sabres still have 3 Points on both teams. It's a little nervewracking, sure. But the sky isn't falling.

Besides, worst case, they get Hanifan or Strome. Those are fine pieces to build around.

[SpikedLemonade]

Can always tank for one more season.

After seeing Kane change Chicago's fortunes, it's pretty hard to think differently.

[Downinfloflo]

Do the Sabres have a hard time getting franchise players to sign with them or something??

Is that why you have to finish last to finally get one as you say?

[JATMtheJATM]

Kanes not a generational player. Hes a star, and a franchise player, but not generational. The Sabres can still get a hell of a player outside mceichel.

But all this is all premature panic over 1 game. Still got 3 Points on Arizona and 4 on Edmonton.

It won't hurt and may help, it seems an easy way to get ahead. If we finish last again for a second year in a row, would it be out of the norm ???

[Downinfloflo]

I know a lot of you guys fall in love with draft picks, But um, Edmonton is fighting you for last place in the NHL.

And Edmonton has been drafting in the top 5 if not 1st overall for close to 5 years now.

The NHL is full of 4th line players who were drafted high in the 1st round, But never panned out to be more then a 4th line/3rd pair roll player at best.

But by no means, Does drafting a guy high in the 1st mean he's going to be a good NHL player.

A questions for the draft pick lovers...Tyler Myers was drafted 12th over all in 2008, Who was drafted 11th and who was drafted 13th??



Here are the numbers for the last decade..........Less than 50% of all players drafted ever play in the NHL!!!

Building your team through the draft, Is not the way to go, This is not the NFL!!



2005 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 111 Percent of players to play in NHL: 48.3%

2006 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 89 Percent of players to play in NHL: 41.8%

2007 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 93 Percent of players to play in NHL: 44.1%

2008 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 105 Percent of players to play in NHL: 49.8%

2009 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 104 Percent of players to play in NHL: 49.5%

2010 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 83 Percent of players to play in NHL: 39.5%

2011 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 80 Percent of players to play in NHL: 37.9%

2012 NHL Draft: Total drafted players to play in NHL: 38 Percent of players to play in NHL: 18%

I don't buy that conspiracy crap. Until it's official, I'm going to believe anything can happen. And the Sabres are still last, with A small cushion. I'm nervous, but lets not panic. not yet.

The first 2 drafted will start and perform quite well, just keep your panties dry until then.

Thanks for the statistical analysis Flo Flo but Sabres fans don't give a **** who was picked 13th overall in 2008.. How about letting us know Steve Stamkos went 1st overall in 2008 and Drew Doughty went 2nd overall..

This current NHL season the top 6 PPG players 4 of them went 1st overall and 2 of them went 2nd overall.. Another 1st overall pick is 12th overall in PPG..

1st or 2nd overall that's what its all about.. And 2015 is the year to get that top pick Sabres fans on this site this morning can take all your hard work and wipe there asses with it

I think these *****s are jealous that we're probably going to a star, they just can't take it. I also will never support another team unless it benefits the Sabres, IE I'm an Edmonton / AZ fan right now hungry for victories / points.

We need a better class of troll.

Reality scares the **** out of you guys...

[SpikedLemonade]

They didn't want him playing this year in this "environment".

You know that legitimate, everyone else has done it, what could they do, "rebuilding" environment.

In other words, they did not want him to breathe the same tank stink as the rest of the team.

They will just throw some air freshener in there this off-season and the Sabres will be play-off contenders next year.

Took less then 4 minutes to post that.

The only thing you know about Hockey, Is that they play it on ice, After that, You're lost!!

You feel so inferior deep down inside about your sports teams, You can't think strait, And that's a real problem, You have a hard time with thinking to begin with.

I could picture you yelling at your wife and children and kicking your dog every time the Sabres win.

That puts a smile on my face.
