Let me know your thoughts on this hire for the Sabres
I like the hire. Lindy is a Sabres legend.
Ruff is the right hire for this group at this time. He is šÆ the right guy for the job.
Don't know if Lindy is the right pick, but the Sabres definetly needed an experienced coach, so CHECK.
Low hanging fruit in my opinion.
Great move, the organization moves forward with a step back to the future.
Ruff is just okay, but heāll keep some season ticket holders from leaving, and he fits the Sabresā timeline. Buffalo possibly wants to turn the keys over to an assistant (Appert?) in a few years, and Berube, Gallant, etcā¦ probably wouldnāt sign on for that.
You make a good point that GMKA still has some work to do this offseason.
kinda neat seeing Lindy back in Buffalo. I'm sure he will help that team get it together
Should have gone with the Chief.
I'm in Buffalo…happy to have Lindy back.
Why why. After Ruff gets fired, hire Ted Nolan
He's 65 .30 years ago he was a coach. Fire Adam š„ s
Ruff don't like younger players. Ask NJ players about Ruff. For GM Doug McClain, Old Columbus blue š Jack GM
It's a great public relations move, now we wait to see if it will pay off on the ice. I do hope it works for Buffalo though.
All these hockey experts here in this threadšššššš. Let's just see where the Sabres are in December. šŖ
I think itās for him to come back and Win 1 for Buffalo , Not just the fans but for Buffalo itself, , , ya I use to watch him when he was on the ice , and as a coach for us , ā¤ļø
I bet Ruff will get owen no power to check someone
Lindy was one among the coaches I was interested in, so I am Happy with the selection. He has some unfinished business to take care of here. šš
I am not surprised. It was either him, Gallant or Berube. Ruff is a good choice for the Sabres.
The team has been a mess since he left.
I say give him another shot, especially with this team!
For owner Terry Pegula, who, seemingly, has no good connections in pro hockey circles, this is nothing but a safe, "feel good" hire. The Sabre's are run like they're in a cocoon, safe from any outsiders who might have some answers. Pegula might be the worst owner in Buffalo's history, and there are a couple of doozies in that club!
I think he is absolutely the right guy at the right time. Lindy is Buffalo Royalty. He is a hard nose coach that is strong on culture and discipline, but heās also a coach that evolves around the team that the GM puts together. Iām hopeful for great things next year.
Great Video, as usual, Mike. I think that this is a good first step for The Buffalo Sabres. I agree with you in the other video, that, it is a strange move for them, especially since, as you said, there are a lot of, as you also pointed out, things that are similar to The New Jersey Devils. Therefore, even though it's a good selection, I think that they'll have to make some acquisitions, especially, key players, that can put the puck in the net with more of a consistent basis. Let me know what you think
