Ted Nolan is out

[Jasmine]

BREAKING NEWS: Buffalo Sabres announce the firing of head coach Ted Nolan. Details on TSN.ca.

[Victor]

Ridiculous, didn't he do exactly what was expected of him? Good coach as well.

[Alfie11]

Seriously....

[Josh]

So stupid. It was obvious he was the fall guy from the beginning.

[Alfie11]

Nolan is a great coach. Were the Sabres expecting to do any better than they did? Every time a player looked decent on their roster, they traded him to keep tanking.

[Jasmine]

Yeah, I don't get that move. I thought it was obvious all along that everyone was on the same page in Buffalo. We tank and start fresh next season. Wonder if they already have someone in mind.

[Choi]

Couldn't agree more with what you guys are saying.
There doesn't seem to be much reasoning behind this.
Coaching was never the problem in Buffalo this season.
What was he suppossed to do with that roster?

[Matt the Aussie]

Unless they have someone better in mind already

Unless they have someone better in mind already

I'm sure they have someone else in mind, but is it necessarily someone better, or could it just be a "friend of the organization"?

[Victor]

Nolan's work even with this Buffalo team was good and he overachieved by a large margin with Latvia, especially at the Olympics. Hope he gets a shot at a good team for a change.

I think they are aiming for Luke Richardson

I think they are aiming for Luke Richardson

Just out of curiosity, what gives you that impression?

[Jasmine]

I'm going on a hunch.. ;)
