Behind The Bench: Krueger fired after 12 straight losses

Buffalo Toronto Public Media | By Nick Lippa
Published March 18, 2021 at 5:52 AM EDT

The Buffalo Sabres can't buy a win. The team has gone 0-10-2 over its past 12 games. The NHL season is about half way through, but the Sabres are already out of the playoff hunt. Unsurprisingly, Head Coach Ralph Krueger was relieved of his duties Wednesday morning. Buffalo Hockey Beat reporter Bill Hoppe discusses how the Sabres got to this point, who will coach the team moving forward and what to expect from the team as they enter a brutal upcoming schedule.
