26CornerBlitz Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 A reminder of the next chance to watch Eichel this morning: @BuffaloSabres Tomorrow's #IIHFWorlds quarterfinals: USA-SUI, 9:15am ET (@NBCSN) CAN-BEL, 10:15am ET (TSN) SWE-RUS, 1:15pm ET FIN-CZE, 2:15pm ET
26CornerBlitz Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Quiet game for Eichel today in the 3-1 USA win over SUI.
K-9 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Quiet game for Eichel today in the 3-1 USA win over SUI. Quiet and flat, which the entire team was, pretty much. JE had a tough day at the dot, especially. That said, he committed no errors, either. Every player and team has games like today, though, so I was expecting it. Plus, the Swiss team just seeks to play that grinding style as it is. I'm really looking forward to seeing how he responds in the next game. He and his line mates had been having their way for most of the tourney up to today.

He also might be a bit fatigued from the hectic schedule. We'll see if he has a bounce back vs. Russia in the semifinals on Saturday. The Russian team has Ovechkin now. On another subject, John Vogl put together a five part series on the Sabres' players and prospects with a position by position breakdown: @BuffNewsVogl Our five-part series on every player in the Sabres' organization is all together in one place. Here is the place. http://sabres.buffalonews.com/2015/05/14/recap-sabres-five-part-depth-chart-photo-galleries-together-in-one-place/
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 @rdcloutier So Elliotte Friedman just pretty much said Todd McLellan is the #Oilers new head coach, to be announced after the #IIHFWorlds boom, nailed it
26CornerBlitz Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 Exclusive: Babcock discusses coaching future (24:31) TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger sits down for an exclusive interview with this summer’s hottest coaching free agent Mike Babcock and Red Wings GM Ken Holland to discuss Babcock's hockey future.
Fadingpain Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 McClellan to Edmonton does seem like a done deal. Babcock's future is far from known at this time however. And yes, he's the best coach in the NHL right now almost certainly. It would be HUGE if he ends up in Buffalo.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 @BuffaloSabres Tyler Ennis, @HockeyCanada face Czech Republic tomorrow 9:15am ET; USA vs. Russia at 1:15pm. Both games on @LiveExtra http://goo.gl/vJA17r
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Exclusive: Babcock discusses coaching future (24:31) Ken is doing all he can not to cry, but tears will roll once he comes the Queen City.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Has he visited with other teams? Maybe he has while overseas at the World Championships, but AFAIK the only owner/GM meeting he's had in another NHL city has been in Buffalo with Sabres. Almost Eichel and Team USA time: http://stream.nbcsports.com/liveextra/
Beerball Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 It would be HUGE if he ends up in Buffalo. How would it compare to Scotty Bowman?
K-9 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 How would it compare to Scotty Bowman? It compares in the sense that Bowman and Babcock were/are considered the best coaches in the game. But that's where it ends. Bowman was coming off 5 cup wins, including four in a row with Montreal when we got him, after all.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Sportsnet.ca: Maple Leafs, Sabres in pursuit of Mike Babcock It’s a three-team race to secure the services of Mike Babcock.According to Damien Cox and Elliotte Friedman in Saturday’s edition of “Headlines” on Hockey Night in Canada, only the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs have formally filed for permission to speak with Babcock regarding his head coaching future.
