The goaltending in this Florida series is sick.

Be like Bob.

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.

Panthers looking good. They have the Lightning all discombobulated.

I don't think that's a bad thing. The whirlwind energy we saw back in the day was probably double that behind the scenes, leading to rash actions and premature, emotional decisions. A wiser, calculating, thoughtful Ruff is probably a better Ruff. The passion is still there, but as an old guy it really will only come out when necessary.

Of course, Power should not be here to be challenged (he is the trade centerpiece to upgrade the forward group). If he is, though, I, too, will be interested to see the result - it may be Power's only hope.

Now, you kids better cover your man and raise your compete or I'm going to bore you with my stories of the old days.

It sounded to me like Lindy implied that Adams was in contact with him not long after Lindy was fired, caught the potential error and corrected it by adding something like "and after losing their (the Sabres') head coach...".

Did the conversation go anything like below?

This one is pretty good:

Keep an eye on the site's logo.

11 years later, the story is more exciting if he quit. Charlie and Grandpa Joe getting the factory because of their honesty makes a better movie than Charlie winning simply because he was able to survive.

It's the doosh in you that makes you stand out.

The Carolina game is slower than the other playoff games I've watched so far. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the Canes get bounced and Rod the Bod becomes available.

He said the other day he'd be fine with Lindy. FWIW, Rivet must have read Sabrespace over the weekend because today he floated my idea to trade Power.

I haven't watched the Rangers this year and some assistant coaches aren't behind the bench so I'm genuinely interested if he's behind the bench. If he is then he definitely isn't going anywhere unless it's for a HC gig. The internet hasn't revealed info on the details of his contract. It's good to have as much actual data to support a conclusion (ie.: he won't come here).

I'm sorry, where is the contract info? Is he behind the bench? My questions were specific.

Given the parameters Adams laid out and given the available coaches, how long do you think such a search would take...weeks? It's more likely Adams (Terry) had Lindy in mind since Lindy was let go by NJ. Still, all Adams had to do was make two or three calls that all went like "hey, XXXXX, I'm sure you heard the news. Interested? Yeah. No. Okay, thanks, see you around." "Looks like Lindy is our guy, Terry." That would take all of a morning before leaving for an early lunch.

Can you find details of Peca's situation? I haven't found any details as to whether he has a contract. Has he been behind the bench at all?

We have to keep in mind that the pickings were likely slim given the failure of the organization since, well, since they fired Lindy. As I stated in another thread, I bet Pegula thought that was a mistake. Now Lindy can redeem himself. Not tingles-down-my-legs excited but I really don't mind it either. Lindy isn't hard to root for.
