Anyone with half a brain knew that Ruff was the wrong hire. Why would they even bring him back?
1-he was cheap, still getting paid by the devils
2-he accepted all the leftover assistant coaches instead of picking his own
3-the gm was his assistant coach when ruff was fired 14 years ago, gm fixed an injustice or something
4-feel good hire like lafontaine, housley & nolan
5-sabres have not made the playoffs since ruff was fired, his successors got progressively worse
not arguing he was the right hire at all, just (possible) reasons he was brought back
If they hire him I am done as a fan. Last thing I need is for my team to suck perpetually and also employ scumbags.
pegula gave millions to penn state the week sandusky made national news, 14 years too late to worry about supporting scumbags
