I wouldn't.

You just want a new GM.

Tuch was featured in several photos with Pegula and Ruff by the BN… Would bet a bunch he is named the new Captain.

What a concept.

The goaltending in this Florida series is sick.

I heard we were recycling old things around here. Hi guys!

How many of those did he sell. I'd love to know.

Quick takeaways 1. He mentioned faceoffs. I have zero doubt this has been discussed as a massive problem. 2. He talked about needing elite Defensemen. He’s correct. Common denominator with the best teams. 3. He talked about how - these weren’t his exact words - but how it’s important for everyone to get excited about the little things they do in the game that should get guys fired up. Like blocking shots or good clears, etc. There is more to get excited about then scoring goals. I feel good about this. I think Adams and Lindy know what needs to be addressed and where they have to improve. It was awesome to hear him interact with Harrington and Hamilton again. Flashbacks not just to 2006 but 1997-98. Cannot wait to see what we do.

Lindy Ruff is the guy who made this happen. Our team full of Nordic kids are in for trouble https://sports.yahoo.com/news/ville-leino-depicts-third-season-sabres-jail-clothing-design-185834130.html

With the timing of the Lindy hire and it seeming like they knew he was going to be the guy, it makes me curious about Marty Wilford and Matt Ellis still being on staff. Is there a chance these guys actually stick around? Did Lindy just want a chance to meet / interview them?

Be like Bob.

I’d change my vote.

We’ve got all Summer.

So much for that.

That second pair needs a testosterone injection. The third pair won't make it 10 games without an injury that keeps one of them out (Muel) for 10 weeks.

Oof. This is Matt Millen-type behavior.

Not to mention - the interview process is a great opportunity to LEARN things about how your own organization is perceived, or how other organizations do things differently, that you might not otherwise get. It’s free information that Terry and Kevyn seemed to have no interest in collecting. Again: doesn’t doom Lindy but is not a good sign or look. Once again Terry may be relying on luck.

I love Lindy and I love this decision, but I am anxious as well. Lindy is different, and that is what my hesitation is. Maybe it is his age, maybe it is his experience, I don't know, but I don't see this Lindy sending out Peters and gang and then going full metal jacket on Murray like in 2007. That is Lindy, so without that I don't know what we get for sure.

Actually, you need to other choice. Something like "I've been hurt too many times by this team to harbor any hope"

My initial reaction was "Not really but it could work I suppose" so I checked that box. But I'm coming around to "I'm ok with it, not super happy" and hoping it becomes "Yes, its a good move" when the season starts.

Damn man, sorry to hear this. I'm glad you're in good spirits and on the mend. Get on those fish when you can. Someone's gotta slay all those Ontario lakers!

2 defenders? You don't think Dahlin-Byram Power-Joki Clifton-Muel Johnson-Bryson in whatever combination is enough? Especially with some good coaching?

I'm super psyched about it. We are going back to the playoffs. Lindy for 1st governor of the 51st state....Western New York!!!

I don't know what to make of it since it's clearly a PR move but Ruff is a top notch HC, he hasn't won the big 1 yet but I'd l;ove for him to get the Cup with this squad, man that would be like a fairytale ending for all involved. I truly think he can push this group into the playoffs but i really need to see the lineup before deciding, we can't go into this just rebuilding the 4th line, there needs to be serious changes imo.
