Lindy is a great coach. Happy to have him

…..but they should have done an actual search. You get free outsider takes in your roster and plant seeds next time you need a coach.

Really feels like Terry has been texting Lindy for weeks

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

This team needs this behind the bench

 

[MOGlLNY]

There it is! I'm happy. Lindy was one of the best options out there for what we needed

 

[Zach716]

Say it ain’t so!

This should be fun and I’m excited to see what he can do back here again

 

[RobRayzor]

Some prayers have been answered

 

[Gabrielor]

HE'S BACK

 

[Deevo]

Well I guess we are doing this

 

[Chainshot]

Okay, let's see who his assistants are going to be.

 

[Djp]

Did someone share a memory?

 

[missingmika]

Signed until 2103! Finally some certainty in Buffalo!

 

[Zman5778]

Okay, let's see who his assistants are going to be.

Exactly where I am.

I get why we made the hire.

Just please bring in good assistants.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Lindy!

[CrazyWayne]

Wasn't my top choice but I don't dislike this hire

The sabres for the first time since he last coached a game for the sabres have an actual real live NHL head coach

 

[Chainshot]

Exactly where I am.

I get why we made the hire.

Just please bring in good assistants.

I hate to say that I agree with @TehDoak but there appears to have been no search.

 

[sabremike]

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

LINDY HAS COME HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

LISTENING TO BETTER DAYS ON REPEAT!!!!!!!!

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Highlander..Longest tenured coach in NHL.

 

[Zman5778]

I hate to say that I agree with @TehDoak but there appears to have been no search.

Yeah, I do wish that there were actual reports of other people interviewing for the position. But.....I still don't think it's a bad hire per se.

If Ruff doesn't get us to the playoffs by 25/26 at the latest.......Ruff and Adams are both gonzo.

[Doug Prishpreed]

I hate to say that I agree with @TehDoak but there appears to have been no search.

I also have to agree with him that budget/salary played a huge role. There was no way Berube was coming here without more term and salary.

 

[Chainshot]

Highlander..Longest tenured coach in NHL.

He'll have to change his name to Juan then. Because there can be only Juan.

 

[Mr Orangeshirt]

Time for Lindy to finish the story.

 

[old kummelweck]

OK.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

No idea what to think of this.
