This was a question I had: Is this in fact how it always goes down? Don't teams often fire coaches as well? Or is this a post-season/in-season distinction? I go back to a point I made earlier: Teams aren't necessarily within their contractual rights to tell a coach, "You're done behind the bench, but you're still under contract, so go home and relax." In theory, a coach should be able to respond, "Hell no -- you breached our agreement -- I'm outta here."

 

I would think the club would close to automatically release the coach to talk elsewhere should he want to, so I don't think a fired coach would actually need to tell the club to go stuff themselves, should he want to sign elsewhere, after being relieved?

Lindy was speaking at the Clarence Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing tonight. Rangers are out in California so if he has spoken with them it's been by phone (or Skype lol).

If the Sabres wanted they could make sure Ruff doesn't do anything with his life for the next 5 years (or however long remains) because he is employed by them. I hope Ruff gets NYR - would be a good fit

 

Kind of. If they really tried to do it, it would turn into a legal matter and the Sabres would lose.

It would be awesome if Ruff became coach of the Rangers, they go all soft, and then the Sabres give 'em a royal shellacking when they play.

I don't think they need Lindy for that.

I'd much rather see them running around like headless chickens, 5 guys below the circles.

that would depend on the langauge of the contract i would guess. The ole moved to a advisory position goes as far back as i can remember (20-30 years).

 

true, that. i guess each situation is its own animal -- there is no one-size-fits-all scenario.

 

Best Tyler Ennis avatar ever.

 

Out. Standing.

(Don't forget to crop out half the face in order to confound Google's image searching capability.)

 

(Btw, if you search that avatar in Google for "visually similar images"*** you get a truly, truly bizarre collection -- predominated by close-ups of eczema and other skin afflictions as well as lots of clinical-style shots of nude torsos (male and female)).

 

I was thinking it was from the cover of an Emerson Lake and Palmer album.........

 

Here it is....

Also a very strong offering.

Well my first avatar ended up on some Saudi Arabia electronica band site and other pics show me as a Muslim dating site. I think I'm done with posting any part of my face.

 

Creepy.
