Ruff giving Luukkonen the endorsement.

"None of that 3 goalie tandem Bullshit"-Lindy

I like how he said he was really tough on Vanek, but even Vanek says he was better for it. A lot of these players can expect a lot of the same. They're about to get a lot of really tough love from Lindy.

Build a house here 45 years ago. Mind bending stuff when you stop for a second

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Lindy "I have owned a house in or around the city since 1979"

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

8-0 Philly reference. Gimme more.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

LEave it to Warrow to ask a dumbass question

 

[Gabrielor]

I'm levitating listening to this.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

"The game has changed so much, Lindy Ruff has changed so much" check

 

[zenthusiast]

Lindy explaining how Canada was the underdog actually is a perfect example of how he can get the team to buy in to anything lol

 

[Ace]

An underrated thing about the hiring that just became clear with these answers…the guy knows more about hockey than most of the organization combined.

I still would love if Dudley was senior advisor for Buffalo. He still lives in Lockport from what I've heard.

 

[kirby11]

Hearing the references to Lindy's other stops is such a breath of fresh air in comparison to how many of their past coaches had zero ability to adjust if their fastball wasn't working

 

[ValJamesDuex]

reporters here, please ask about assistants & special teams thank you

I still have a video of that on VHS. I don't know what I'm ever going to do with it but I have one.

 

[Zman5778]

"Double digit" candidates? And no rumors at all of who???

Interesting.

 

[Chainshot]

Adams spoke to "double digit" folks? Hmmm... well... name and shame, Kevyn.

 

[Gabrielor]

Spoke to double digit candidates. Guess that 'no search' stuff can die.

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

I still have a video of that on VHS. I don't know what I'm ever going to do with it but I have one.

I have the entirety of the 05-06 playoffs, in their OLN glory, on VHS yet.

 

[brian_griffin]

Wants the players:
Committed.
Connected.
Consistent.

First time Harington has asked a not-awful question in decades

Agreed.

LEave it to Warrow to ask a dumbass question

Wawrow would narrate the first two chapters of War and Peace as a preface for asking a diner waitress if he could have more ketchup, please.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Interesting.

no leaks any more, good

I was working at a pizza place three blocks from where I still live and had to listen to this game on the radio

 

[Chainshot]

We know it won't.

 

[Gabrielor]

The Sabres haven't been leaky since Botterill left.

The phrasing is particular here
