Weave Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Wow. I thought he was done with HC gigs. I hope he does well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Not unexpected, and not the best situation to inherit. I hope he does well, but not at our expense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 That's a nice thing. I wish him well. I also like NJD hiring a rival NYR assistant coach. But according to the Devils website and wikipedia, Tom Fitzgerald is still only the interim GM. Interesting to see an interim make a permanent head coach hire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have been reminded repeatedly since Lindy left here, no coaching hire is ever permanent. Wishing Lindy luck. But not too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Good for Lindy...I never thought I’d long for the Ruff/Regier years(end of their run as Sabres). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Amerk Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I thought the consensus was that he was “outdated” from being able to coach in the current game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. He hit Luke Adam in the head with stick and everyone thought he’d lost his mind. Turns out that Luke Adam sucked and Lindy was trying to knock some hockey sense into him. Am I right?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam was looking good in 10-11, and was never as good after that. If that hit was at Niagara camp in 11-12, then it may have ruined him.

He couldn’t master his biggest problem so he never had a chance to work on all the little ones. Maybe he could have been an awesome NHLer?

Tondas Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Always liked Lindy. I'm glad he got another shot as HC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 So there's an organization that concludes what we need to rebuild is an experienced coach with a proven track record. There's an idea. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 So we could have had GM Dudley and HC Ruff. Are we better off with GM Adams and HC Krueger? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry and Kim see things that fans don’t see. I think Lindy has run his course in Buffalo, but wish him well in the swamps.
