Correct this for empty netters? lindy was always an early lead then hold the fort coach

Power doesn’t have an active stick. That’ll change quick with Ruff

Lindy: your system is set before the start of training camp and doesn’t really change throughout season. It’s all about developing muscle memory from day 1. breath of fresh air Christ

Lindy Ruff is the guy who made this happen. Our team full of Nordic kids are in for trouble https://sports.yahoo.com/news/ville-leino-depicts-third-season-sabres-jail-clothing-design-185834130.html

The devils are paying for the next two years unless he signed for a higher dollar amount. So it’s his way to bridge the leftover Granato contract and be cheap too

I heard a Billionaire fan who cares but doesn’t want to give up control being happy to be able to make amends to the guy he had fired in the first place before everything went to ***** for a decade. KA is a yes man he is never going to do that. He only has the job because he has no issue being a lap dog to Terry

They both acknowledged it yes

Power is definitely going to be an interesting case with Lindy. I don’t think he’s been worked that hard before.

Craig Rivet basically made the same argument. Lindy is the only guy out there who realistically can get KA to do his job correctly and not just fantasize the owner

We don’t have any of those players unless we change a lot in FA. Should be a lot of active and aggressive stick play

Lindy is about coaching to players strengths and finding their own role. Not shoving square pegs into round holes. He said as much himself today and his history in Buffalo coaching has plenty of examples Skinner usually had issues playing into a system. He has a chance Oloffson is exactly the type of player that Ruff would get the most out of. Not saying we need him, but he wouldn’t be so invisible like he has been lately. Just because they cheat into him on the PP doesn’t mean everything should fall apart.

Don’t see us getting into a Taylor Hall situation with Lindy Ruff

Objectively just means it meets a list of criteria. Outcome is irrelevant

Still posting over and over so everyone knows you aren’t happy?

Some people have a hard time admitting that Lindy is objectively the better candidate for this role bs the others at this time. His track record has always been about getting younger players to hit their prime. The others didn’t. Found it interesting that before the presser Biron told an anecdote about how Gratton didn’t want to be the player that Lindy was asking out of him and that’s why he got traded for Briere. Kevyn is going to follow directions on the line up. It’s how Lindy has always been

But they had nothing when facing adversity and would cower if the other team didn’t give them space. But they had nothing when facing adversity and would cower if the other team didn’t give them space.

Or it means the owner is being cheap and Lindy was the only coach willing to only take a 2 year deal.

If I remember right, Ruff games were lots of early leads that would become hold the fort scenarios that relied upon good defense and goaltending. Always wished they tried to run things up, but it’s a long season. Almost polar opposite to what we have now. Let’s hope the middle ground is the landing spot…

They weren’t playing for the fans. They were playing for the coach that would tell them encouraging things and not push them too hard. That’s fixed by coaching

That’s how curses work. Hockey players are the most superstitious of them all. It’s not been a talent problem it’s been a mental one. Players have been leaving Buffalo and lighting it up elsewhere for a decade now. And overlooking the power of superstition is a rookie mistake. Statisticians be damned

The CURSE IS BROKEN

The entire point of a coach is to set a standard. Even the McKinnin of the world are going to be on a struggling team if the coach won’t set a standard

Hes cheap let a new coach give him a new look. This kid needs structure

Frustrating part was how many pointless dumps there were when last year we’d pass it back to the defense and retain possession during changes.

As long as he’s not behind the bench
