Lindy Ruff officially hired as Sabres HC

Lindy is an experienced coach. The fact he has no answers either means his approach won’t work with this group or the roster is a disaster.

I hope Lindy is OK medically. He didn't look good after the game.

Anyone witnessing that mess in person probably thought they ate a bad clam that evening.

If you think back to his glory days here he had solid leaders on those teams and there were guys on the roster that would drag others into the fight if things sagged. He doesn't have that this time. maybe Tuch worships him but to most of these guys he's just some old guy Sabres put in charge. The team still accepts losing, they don't hate to lose, and the standard is way too low. The leadership they have is inadequate and they are at times clueless. 

I do not believe there is any coach who could magically fix this roster. There is enough talent here, but the roster as a whole is poorly constructed.
