It's going to be lindy. Huge meme potential. But also hilarious if he ends the drought having been the last guy to make it. Lifts the curse of "lindy ain't goin nowhere"

isnt this a defining quote for this current build? idk, hes a former HC so fans scoff at it, but if he werent a former sabres coach and was on their radar, wed say thats a decent move? its an experienced coach, thats what a serious team would try to hire instead of promoting from within.

I just wonder if they'd go big if someone becomes available (Sullivan, brindamour...would they try quenneville?)

The way Kevyn was talking today it made me think it'll be Rod. Just he sounded like he was so sure he knows what the team needs, etc. suggested a personal connection to the idea.

I think if the hurricanes were out right now id buy that.

Its hard for me to think theyre going to wait until Rod makes a decision. That may take until june, and then if he says no, youre kinda screwed.

Lindy has a connection. He sounded like he wanted someone immediately, that cant be Rod.

I missed sullivan. I ignored quennville. that is a very easy no for all the reasons that matter.

Id take sullivan here, how confident are you they let him go? This run theyve been on without Guentzel....doesnt it make it more likely he stays? Players clearly responded positively to whatever hes doing.

He also mentioned that the search would be thorough and he would have all the resources he needs. I'm not anticipating an immediate hire.

He is the dumbest person in Buffalo sports. Take the opposite by default

This doesnt really hint at any one coach specifically though. I mean he has a plan and thats great, but if waiting for Rod to be eliminated and then make a decision on CAR is the absence of a plan. its twiddling your thumbs for a non guaranteed opportunity to even meet with him.

theres zero chance this wouldnt leak. and the last time adams tried this with brind amour the canes lost their mind. if it happened again dundon and co. would TP keybank center

RBA is a good coach, but a terrible fit for this group of players. they play totally counter to what he runs in carolina.
