Something tells me Ruff is sitting in his living room watching this tonight saying "See... see!"

I do wonder when we'll hear anything from him...
I'm sorry, but ti is crazy to try and say that Lindy Ruff is somehow justified by the sabres loss tonight. There are many problems with the team, and the biggest one was coaching. Now I have been watching the sabres avidly for 15 years, and my dad has watched every second of every sabres game in history, and on matters like this, I always refer to his judgement. He was talking about how half of the Sabres look lost while they are out there. The way he explained it to me is that we have a lot of skilled players, and alot of them don't seem to know when and how, and how often to use their skill. also, skills are nothing is they are not sitting on top of a set of un-toned fundamentals. You can have the best wrist shot in the world, but if you have not learned how to properly get in position to use it, when and where to use it. He says that these guys need to start over from scratch, re-evalute their strenghts, and be tought how to use their talents, how to avoid their weekneses, how to become harder to play against.....each player has to be sat down and really questioned about his commitment, and that comes from a lot of different people, not just the coach

He'll answer two questions then leave
That always pissed me off, his post game press conference was him answering 2 questions, sip bottle of water then leave. He never used to be so short, back in his first 5-8 years he answered a lot of questions and the last several years he didn't feel like staying longer then 2 minutes at the press conference
that right there shows he was too comfortable and needed to go if he couldn't bother to spend another 4-5 minutes answering valid questions.

Trade everyone, fire Darcy, and bring Ruff back? haha
It's tough to see him go after all he's done for Buffalo. Now that he's been fired, we can all go back to liking the guy though. Definitely deserves to be remembered positively and hopefully for his good times with the team more so than the bad. I think he'll be in the Sabres HoF for sure.

No doubt he was a great guy and did some positive things for the city/franchise.
But damn if it doesn't show you how milquetoast this organization has been that he's one of the key figures in it's history. Hopefully Pegula's vision leads to better standards of excellence.

Years ago (when Ruff was coaching in Florida, so really years ago), I had the opportunity to hike in the Canadian Rockies with the minister who officiated at Lindy's wedding, and baptized his kids. He couldn't stop talking about what a great guy Lindy is (though he was considerably less complimentary about the Sutter boys...).
I've always felt that whatever we have seen of him is authentic Lindy Ruff, not a lot of pretense and acting. (OK, maybe a little in confrontations with Ken Hitchcock, but otherwise..)
