I'm sorry, what?

The tone was very low key and while I agree Lindy sounded sharp when he answered, some of that energy I remember was not present.

Here is the full press conference:

He played 75 games in his first NHL season.

Reminds me of Thanos.

Just continuing to prove my point and for that we thank you.

Was wondering when we would reach this stage.

He's the most experienced but saying "best" seems questionable.

"I love analytics, we were a huge analytics club in NJ." Talks about analytics knowledgably and mentions xgf, zone entries and exits, talks about players not being placed together if they have bad results. Calls it a tool he likes to use but also has to pass the eye test.

I will rephrase then. I do not believe that Kevyn Adams went into this process with an unbiased look at the potential candidates and that he gave equal consideration to 10 or more coaching candidates. I think he went into this thinking about Ruff and he hired Ruff. He probably talked to a few others just in case Ruff said no but judging by all that has been said over the last week, Ruff was the first choice from the outset. I don't like Adams pretending that he seriously did this and seriously considered others. He didn't, and the double digit line came off to me as a deliberate attempt at ass covering for him and terry. I think there is ample evidence that the team is tuned into what fans are saying. Adams wanted Ruff and he got Ruff. That's fine but I don't believe him when he acts as though he interviewed all these people and Ruff was simply the best choice. It is very clear that Ruff was the first choice, hence why Adams keeps saying "came back to what Lindy said" because Lindy was the first one they wanted and talked too.

I don't like being lied to.

"After in depth conversations with Terry, this is our guy" - Adams

Kevyn Adams claims he spoke to double digit numbers of candidates. Which quite frankly I think is *****.

LMFAO. Love how youtube just tossed a commercial in the middle of a live stream. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the only thing that matters.

OMG! They gave a microphone to the reporters so ppl could hear the questions! A christmas miracle!

Terry or Lindy? Discipline is apparently the new buzzword. Players say it, Adams says it, Ruff says it.

Terry said some stuff but nothing important. Just listing Lindy's history and that he's competitive. Adams is talking: he talked to the team, experience was important, he talked to a bunch of coaches. Claims he felt stronger hour by hour that lindy was the right choice. Claims Lindy is the right person for this job and that his connection to the Sabres is just a bonus. Up next is Ruff
