If that was the case, why not introduce Ruff at the same presser where he fired Donny? $110 per day, just like a substitute teacher at Buffalo Public Schools.

No, but you can bag skate it until it complies.

What's idiotic is dwelling on the outliers. Ignore them. We all hope the team does well under Ruff. There are a few that are his fan boiz I guess but people in general are more concerned with wins and losses regardless of who gets the credit/blame.

Between two stalls.... where he interviews Lindy Ruff 😛

Say three Hail Marys and stop hitting your sister.

It is all you will hear because it's all you want to listen to.

Don't expect Lindy to be doing that on beta blockers...

What will you wear to his funeral?

Ol' Mattie got in too many fights. Can't think straight 😛

He could if it was a promotion. Associate Head Coach > Assistant Coach. But I don't think he's going anywhere.

I don't want my coach to be merely fair. I want him to be outstanding. (yes I know that's not the way you meant it)

Luckily we have a great goalie and an other one in the wings, eh?

I think I will come around to this. I just have to get past the feeling that Adams "settled for" Ruff. Maybe a few beers will chase this taste outta my mouth.

Oh I absolutely was one of those people.

Once the shock of the incompetence of this hiring wears off, I'll be Lindy's biggest fan. I just can't believe Adams didn't even kick some (other) tires before pulling the trigger.

So is a Patrick Kane signing next?

Absolutely. "Give the people what they want and hope they get what they deserve."

I kind of hope Lindy rides Skinner's ass and makes him a two-way player.

I think his game has expanded beyond that but he's become such a whipping boy most fans refuse to even look at it. You see what you want to see with him. He's likely going to land somewhere as a middle six winger and power play specialist. Or this.

So what you're saying is TPegs told Kevyn he wouldn't authorize a relocation budget for the new coach? DARK SIGHTING!

His record with the Devils was just a skosh better than Donny's with the Sabres. fify 😉

I'll take it further: If Lindy fails, the franchise will implode. Complete teardown to the studs, new electricity, new plumbing. Endless tanks, cats and dogs living together.... ugh.
