    So this is exactly what the talking heads on the radio were talking about. Ruff was basically hired on to toughen this group up and Seth Appert will take over after the 2 years.

    That would be gross. The players can't know their head coach has one foot in retirement and his replacement is standing next to him.

  2. Just looking at Lindy's staff in NJ:

    He had Brylin a longtime Devil, but not a young newbie. 50ish and a former AHL associate coach.

    Chris Taylor, who had a couple of cups of coffee as a Sabre with Lindy and who of course was an AHL head coach.

    Ryan McGill appears to have no ties to NJ or Lindy and has an extensive head coaching record in the OHL and AHL and is a veteran NHL assistant. Mid 50s.

    Can we please aim for something at least like this (and even this is on the light side when comparing to top NHL staffs).

    There's no reason we need to hire up and comer former Sabres who need a job/experience.

  3. I need to see how Ruff set up his staffs after he left Buffalo. In Buffalo, whether it was his choice or bc of budgets, he never had assistants with head coaching experience at the pro level.

    I am going to barf if he fills his staff with inexperienced former Sabres.

    I'd also like to know what if any assurances he got re: TP's commitment and involvement.

    Finally Lindy you might as well tell us if you got fired or quit in 2013.
