I believe he still owns a house here if I'm not mistaken
Thank you Hockey Gods!!!!!!! 😁
Adams had a chance to hit a home run…. swung at the first pitch and hit a dribbler back to the pitcher. What was the hiring process? Did he interview ANY other candidates? Gallant? Berube? Sounds like no. That's just bad business.
Lindy is a Sabre and knows the market . There will be accountability. These youngsters need a no-nonsense, veteran coach.
Lindy will help KA find the right grit/energy guys as he knows the entire league. And when he's done coaching he can elevate to Pres of Hockey Ops.
The question…
Goal…
Or…
No Goal…
Love this move by Adams. This is not just about good vibes from the good times. Lindy is the real deal. I don't believe in curses or the jinx. It's not doomed because 'No goal'. It's a new group, new organization, with a solid coach that can get us over the hump consistently. He's going to have to push these players outside of their comfort zone. In the end of the Granato era, there was way too much talk and emphasis on feelings. These boys need to prepare like they want to go all the way to the cup finals.
Think out of celebration you need to pull back that laptop cover and see how much longer the crack is
Wayne! I know that your first choice was Joel Quenneville, as he was also my first choice as well, but also keep in mind that Quenneville has not been reinstated to coach again by the NHL for that sexual abuse scandal that involved his assistant coaches while still head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks… Although Quenneville himself did not participate in any way, he nevertheless was involved in the cover up… When news broke about the abuse scandal cover up, Quenneville was banned from coaching by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman shortly following his resignation as Florida Panthers head coach… At any rate, I kind of suspected that Adams was going to bring Lindy back knowing that assistant coaches Matt Ellis, Mike Bales and Marty Wilford were retained after Granato was fired knowing full well that Lindy has prior history with Matt Ellis, Mike Bales and Marty Wilford… Therefore, it will seem most likely that Lindy would be the only choice for head coach who would end up retaining Ellis, Bales and Wilford as assistant coaches… Needless to say, now that it's all said and done, I really do feel that Lindy Ruff is the right person to bring the Sabres back to prosperity who truly cares about the Buffalo Sabres organization, his players and the Western, New York Community…. In my honest opinion, Lindy should have never been fired by the Sabres (Darcy Reiger) in 2013 to begin with… Welcome home, Lindy!
I was hoping it would be Berube
The dude still lives here… that should tell you something
The Sabres just sold a bunch of season tickets.. ( I don’t know that but we finally will be relevant again!)
Lindy can show the team an identity
Very Happy. Right coach at the right time for us.
I never thought they should have let this guy go… but that was in the Murray ERA and shortly there after where we had literally clowns running the outfit and did everything in their power to tank..
If Adams does a proper job of retooling the bottom 6 this will help the team fall into a new identity. Could be a high flying, hard working, and hard to play against team.
Looking forward to hopefully going to my first NHL game next season to see Lindy whip this team into shape!
Who Do you think his assistant coaches are gonna be?
I think he should go get James Patrick from the WHL.
Full circle. Sabres last coach to make the playoffs, going to be the one to bring us back. Lets go Ruff!
This team can't stay away from ex Sabres…. Botteril, Lafontaine, Ruff twice, Nolan twice. I don't dislike Ruff I just don't think he's Stanley Cup material and if our only goal is playoffs then what are we doing here?
To me this is like bringing back Marv Levy to coach the Bills. We can’t even attract a coach that actually won a Stanley Cup
I thought he was dead.
LIKE TO SEE TED NOLAN HIRED AS ONE OF HIS ASSISTANTS AND MABE INSTEAD OF BEING A DOORMAT FRANCHISE AND ACTUALLY COMPETE FOR A CUP.
i think this is a great move, hes been a winner everywhere hes gone, only reason devils kinda stunk last year was defensive injuries, and the AWFUL goaltending. his hockey tactics are amazing, and i think lindy can help this team make the next step. so much talent oozing, i know lindy can bring the best out of them.
All I can say is I’m exited or October and I’m glad we start off against the devils bc Lindy’s gonna want some revenge and Ik he’s gonna have them ready to start the year
Just got home and despite all the playoff hockey the first thing I wanted to see was roams response to lindy
I can't imagine what tuch is feeling like! Growing up watching ruff and the goatheads, and now he's going to live it.
Was probably my 3rd or 4th choice, but I think he makes us instantly better, so I'll take it.
Huge upgrade…
FFS…. Why? That road leads NOWHERE.
I am so beyond excited for the next season! Lets Fricken GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anything less than playoffs next season will be a disaster. Add some vets during summer
I hope peca comes in to be an assistant for lindy
Thoughts on who the assistant coaches could be? McKee?? That would be an interesting move.
