phSabres84 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Ouch... what a tension convention with Ted Nolan presenting Lindy his award...CONGRATS Lindy on job WELL DONE!!!
X. Benedict Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Well deserved and very classy words of acceptance. Hopefully he is in Buffalo for years to come.
Orange Seats Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Awesome. Good to get some hardware out of the year. Congrats to Lindy and to his team.
Corp000085 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 its not the prince of whales trophy or the stanley cup (which the canes broke, i kid you not), but the COTY award will do just fine. congrats lindy... and thank you ted nolan for being classy on the stage towards your successor in buffalo.
frisky Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Congrats to Lindy. Wish I could have seen it on TV.
Hirly5 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Congrats to Lindy. I agree with the Sherpa, very classy speech. With all the turmoil off the ice that he went through, this is something nice to put up on the mantle. Hopefully this is just the first of many positive steps for Buffalo in the future.

Welcome back Hirly! What did he say in his speach?
Eleven Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Shouldn't have been a contest, and really, it should be his second or third. No coach does or has done more with less than Lindy Ruff. He absolutely molded the Sabres into an exciting and contending team this year, and next year, his name will be on a different, and larger, trophy. Congrats to No. 22.
Orange Seats Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Here he is with the hardware: http://espn-att.starwave.com/photo/2006/06...hl_ruff_195.jpg
Stoner Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 A great man, a great coach and a great speech. And Gaye Ruff isn't too bad either. I had never seen Mrs. Lindy. Hey now! How bad were Marc Crawford and Ted Nolan? That was painful to watch.
Orange Seats Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Was Ted Nolan lined up to do the presentation before the voting was complete? If not, then someone at the NHL knew they were throwing those two together on stage. I couldn't watch, but I'm hoping it makes it up on the net so I can see it.
hopeleslyobvious Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 How bad were Marc Crawford and Ted Nolan? That was painful to watch. Yeah, that was pretty bad. Anyways Congrats to Lindy. He definately earned that this year!
JujuFish Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Way to go, Lindy. Next year, take the hardware up a notch.
