Well my College Football team has best head coach in college football and won 2 of the last 3 national championships. So I'm going pretty good. What do you mean is he behind the bench? Yes, he's an assistant coach.

Yikes. What a bad analogy

He's an assistant coach, there's stories about it. He's a Rangers assistant coach https://nypost.com/2023/10/25/sports/rangers-improving-on-faceoffs-thanks-to-assistant-michael-peca/

I like Ruff. I just don't have blind faith he's the best option or that picking him without a search shows good processes which is a hallmark of the Pegula ownership.

Bring back Mike Weber!

Omfg, this is never going to end. Fans will see a name and get perpetual fan boners regardless of if the guy is good or not. Mike Weber for assistant head coach!

They're absolutely no reason for Peca to leave the Rangers if he's under contract. None, let alone he couldn't.

I like Ruff too but this was not and is not "well done" They didn't even do a real search.

Same

Some did, most don't. And even if they did, who cares? Isn't the point to hire the best person?

No this is what the owner wants cuz because he's a nostalgia fruit. That and it's a pr move to sell season tickets.

When you boil that off you get a coach who's only made the playoffs in 3 of what 8 years? Never passed round what? 2, 1?

Must be nice. I'm depressed over the easy lazy hire.

What's his win% since leaving?

Why?

The bar in Buffalo is so low its pathetic

What's his record since leaving Buffalo?

... they did not.
