Larry Brooks: Rangers To Hire Lindy Ruff

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
Lol, stopping in here for the first time in months. Glad to see that everything and everyone is as it should be in the Rangersphere.
 
Beuke did a terrible job guys. He's the one who lost smith and skjei on the bench plenty. He's the one sending guys over the boards with mins ticking off the clock. AV head coach so he's ultimately responsible but Beuke cost us games last year big games with his horrible management.

Trusted his vets more than better players. Glad he's gone.

Ruff will be an upgrade for sure I'm just surprised AV ok with it.
 
I actually like this..always felt like ruff in buffalo has a very active and engaged defense...hoping that means less staal and more skjei
 
I like Ruff's no ******** approach and how he holds people accountable. Smart offensive mind too

Agreed

I think got caught trusting names on sweaters as opposed to what was actually going on in game. He did a horrible job with his rotations
 
Well brooks said they wanted more experience so ruff definitely has that over beuk. I was not happy with the defensive deployment last year, especially during playoff games. Ruff already has more to work with and it's not even july.

Buffalo also had a stable of excellent defensive forwards. This team needs better D from all positions, not just the D-men. That is especially true now that Stepan and Lindberg are out.

Hayes and Miller need to become three zone players.
 
Any chance Ruff took the job on condition that he has full autonomy re defense?

this ain't the NFL

i do like this for breaking in Bereglazov, DeAngelo, Pionk, Graves, Paliotta, Day

Yeah. I mean it's hard for me to get excited about this given AV has burned through two defense coaches already with zero improvement.

No, I have it under good authority he took the job under the proviso that he has to pick a card out of the suggestion box provided by those of us here at HF between each period. Beukeboom would still be coaching if he had done that.
 
I think Beuk would do best in the organization as 'Head of Security.'

Probably unrelated, but you'd think the Rangers would have had a better idea of what to expect from him after being in the AHL with Gernander. Perhaps Beuks inability showed a light on Gernanders inability?
 
Haha can't wait until he takes over for AV and then we will see how quick this fan base turns on him. Will be an utter disaster

It won't even take that long, I hate this signing already and it's not even done. Looks like myself and SA16 will be leading the XXXX the Clown bandwagon this time around.
 
Literally no matter what happens half the people here say it's the worst thing ever and an utter disaster.

Yeah that's kinda what happens when people have opinions. They tend to like, or not like things. Just short of trading for or drafting Auston McCrosby, what event is everyone going to universally like when it comes to signings, trades, and drafts?

It's not differing opninions, it's that everything less than ideal is cast as a franchise defining catastrophe
