‘Ruff was in his 13th season as Sabres coach when the Pegulas purchased the team in February 2011. The Sabres went 43-29-10 that season and made the playoffs, the last time the organization qualified for the postseason. The Sabres were 39-32-11 the following season and Ruff was fired after a 6-10-1 start to the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.’
