    Ruff had to sit there and take it with no goal questions in Dallas. 

    But that’s about a rule in a league with nonsensical rules abound.  It’s not, “do you know how you busted your ass for years to finally achieve the ultimate goal, well that doesn’t mean ***** because of Jay McKee’s stef infection”.

    What did you want him to do, punch Terry in the face and start screaming at him?

    He should have said, “sorry Terry I didn’t quite hear what you said just now, I’ve got a Stanley cup ring blocking my ear”

    He's so awkward as a public speaker during Bills/Sabres pressers. 

    Quite frankly, he should just stop with the public speaking. He is clearly in way over his head in any scenario that requires him to do so.  
     

    Fans and their demands to hear this dude speak.  To what end?  So we can hear him say something idiotic or completely tone deaf…again.

    Your antipathy for Ladd ThaHonky to Buffalo only assures us that (1) the Chiefs will instead grab him at the end of Round 1 and (2) ThaHonky will post a 9-85-1 line against the Bills in next year's postseason.

    Hmm. So maybe available at 28?

    GTFOH with ThaHonky!

    Vegas will be in a cap crunch. Chandler Stephenson would be a very good 2/3 C signing

    Is it you that’s been saying it over and over or have about a dozen people on this site been parroting this idea?

    Pegula and GMKA will bring back Zemgus and re-sign Krebs.....both of which I hope does NOT happen.

    Teams rarely if ever let RFAs walk.  Occasionally traded but NHL GMs are hard wired for asset protection.

    At the end of the day, I’d be surprised if we didn’t more or less agree with our views. I know it’s on the players as well. The frustration is that they made the predictable move when there were arguably better options out there. Ruff can certainly be the man for the job and I will celebrate his success if that’s the case. But the Sabres organization doesn’t look thorough and serious here imo. 

    Well the optics at certainly sus as the kids say

    The playoffs is my entire point. Ruff has very little success making the playoffs and like you said, when we does, it’s because he already has a playoff roster, not that he has elevated the team. There was much more pedigree out there from a making the playoffs perspective. Especially in the last decade. But they went with Ruff. 

    But there isn’t any certainty with coaches. You can’t just plug in coach X into any team and make the playoffs because he made the playoffs 5 out of the last 7 years with team Y.  It just doesn’t work like that.  These things are fluid. Ultimately, as I’ve pounded my self anointed podium, it comes down to the players.  I don’t think the current mix is anywhere near a cup contender.  Lindy could probably get these guys into the postseason but they need to mix up their lineup.  Too many danglers, not enough other aspects to the game.

    So when given a roster good enough to make the playoffs he can do the bare minimum and do so. Good stuff. Glad we have a roster of good players. 

    Let’s make the playoffs first, then we can worry about how far they go.  There isn’t some magic formula these “wizards” as some people are attributing to Cup winning coaches. They just push buttons. Some of them get it right, some of them don’t.  You move on until you find one that works.  Otherwise there would be only a dozen coaches in the history of the league.  They all just kept winning cups because of the magic they performed. 🙄
