Eleven Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Rumor running around twitter that Ruff will coach Team Canada this summer. I didn't want to start a new thread. EDIT ok maybe it is important enough for a thread...thxchz.
X. Benedict Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Rumor running around twitter that Ruff will coach Team Canada this summer. I didn't want to start a new thread. He'd be the logical choice. Babcock and Hitch will be busy. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=420924

X. Benedict Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Maybe. Good point. the season ends next week. that's a tight race in the west.

dudacek Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Wonder how many Sabres will join him? Myers is out. Hodgson maybe? Ott?
X. Benedict Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Wonder how many Sabres will join him? Myers is out. Hodgson maybe? Ott? Hodgson would be a good bet. Even Pysyk on the large surface, at least week one.
Eleven Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Posted April 16, 2013 Wonder how many Sabres will join him? Myers is out. Hodgson maybe? Ott? I know Miller won't do it.
LastPommerFan Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 I know Miller won't do it. Yeah, I can't see him renouncing his citizenship and violating IIHF by-laws just to be reunited with a coach he never really liked in the first place.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 What about Pommers? Doesn't he play for Team USA?
spndnchz Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Doesn't he play for Team USA? He's a dual citizen. I assume he could play for either?
Eleven Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Posted April 16, 2013 He's a dual citizen. I assume he could play for either? No; he made the choice to play for the US in 2008 and cannot play for other countries (absent some IIHF special permission or something).
Kristian Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Wonder how many Sabres will join him? Myers is out. Hodgson maybe? Ott? I thought Myers was a US citizen too? Texan, isn't he?
Eleven Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Posted April 16, 2013 I thought Myers was a US citizen too? Texan, isn't he? Dual; has played for Canada. Broken leg.
Kristian Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Dual; has played for Canada. Broken leg. Right, yeah moot point either way. I alwys like watching the worlds. Team Canada usually performs well, Team USA is always a complete unkown.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 Getting to coach this team is like the girl at the prom who gets to help clean the punchbowl during the last song..........you're the most responsible of those who aren't on the dance floor......

Unless he wins and end up coaching in Sochi in eight months
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 Unless he wins and end up coaching in Sochi in eight months Sochi? I know Soco Manhattans.....but who or what is Sochi? Lindy is with me on this one......
Eleven Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Posted April 17, 2013 Unless he wins and end up coaching in Sochi in eight months (1) to Drane's "point," the better Canadian coaches out of the playoffs usually get this gig. (2) I don't think he ends up on Sochi. Maybe, but I don't think so.
