Talk about a double whammy! Let's talk about, the ultimate addition by subtraction. Okay I am being mean now, but I have never been a Ruff supporter, so I'm allowed. That's my story and I'm going to stick to it!

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Oh no. Anyone but Ruff. That would be so devastating.../s

 

[Harbour Dog]

Gorton should call up Lou, beg him not to take Ruff, and expound on how devastating it would be to the Rangers organization.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

*takes a few breaths*

Bwahahahahahahahaha

Lou? :p

I've never seen so many people lining up to offer a letter of recommendation.

For a minute, I thought this was the job/career advice thread.

 

[Doctyl]

I’ll drive him there myself

Ruff for both the Devils and Isles? Sign me up!

Would be pretty hilarious if all of Jersey’s first choices rejected them (Gallant, Laviolette) and they’re stuck with Ruff . Don’t count on it though.

Won 1 playoff round in his last ten head coaching seasons, it’s hilarious/sad how the league cycles through the same 15 guys.

Exactly.

His entire coaching career was a series of disappointments and failures. Even after Buffalo fired him, he has done nothing to deserve another head coaching job. In fact he has done a lot not to deserve one.

The hockey world is very insular. Always has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Lou? :p

Oops haha

Got my wretched GMs mixed up!

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Please. Take.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

He must have been on Devils' payroll all this time, no other way our defense sucked so much.

 

[CasusBelli]

Do we really need another bag of pucks? Can’t imagine a dollar value on his canceling his contract with us. One can only hope ...

The FHM player in me says bring in Pronger, Chelios, Stevens or Boucher (if he’s willing to be AM) to coach the defense ... but video games and reality often differ greatly.

 

[egelband]

demand their first rounder.

I wonder if the Devils poach Ruff if the NYR could steal Nasreddine back for that role.

 

[DutchNYR]

I’ll drive him there myself

Me too, and I'm from the Netherlands.

 

[usekakkorightquinn]

Please let him go there. I guess the Devils are dumb enough to think he's the guy developing our defenseman and it's not just that the Devils are the worst organization in hockey drafting defenseman.

Would be pretty hilarious if all of Jersey’s first choices rejected them (Gallant, Laviolette) and they’re stuck with Ruff . Don’t count on it though.

There will be better opportunities available to both guys.

NJ is a Buffalo level shit show with out the drama.

2. I think Lindy Ruff has a legit shot at the New Jersey coaching job. I had heard that external GM candidates asked the Devils to allow them some input, but a few people told me Ruff is very much in this picture no matter what.

 

[NYR94]

Take him
