Why though. You have a team struggling to make the playoffs so you bring back a guy who struggled to get to the playoffs?

Last tenure, he took the Sabres to the Cup finals.

Besides, I always believed its still the players (and thus, the GM who gets them) and not coach that determines playoff success. We had one of the all time great coaches, Scotty Bowman, who won cups with other teams, but never did with the Sabres.

That was 1999. No wonder I couldn't remember it. Well, good luck, even though I think the Sabres could have benefited by going with a younger coach.
