Thorny Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Can you imagine if they’d have hired Rod Brindamour and we had to look at his stupid Carolina cup raising face on a day to day basis? No thanks. Hard pass. Adams is enough. Id rather reign in hell 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 (edited) 2 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: He got the most votes. Spin it at way you want. He was the most popular choice amongst the SabreSpace crowd. One thing you can say about Lindy. He likes it here. Spin it? You're the only one here doing that. Hell, the poll doesn't even measure what you're claiming and a whopping 72% voted for someone else. That's not spin kid, those are called facts.

cgang Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 29 minutes ago, In The Buff said: I understand everyone who thinks rehiring Ruff is a cop-out or in my words: the lowest hanging fruit to bringing back the glory days. But it very well could be worse. It couldve been a Ralph Krueger. It couldve been Matt Ellis or Seth Appert. Whenever you think something is bad, just think of how it couldve been worse. And be thankful we didn't go with the worse option. Ruff at least brings some respectability to the role. Players will take him seriously & Ruff will hold them accountable. I would at least, not expect us to take a step back next year. We should at least be even or better than this year. Im really trying to find the positive in this lol. lol! The bar has shifted!

Flashsabre Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 They need to fly Dmitri Kalinin in to speak to the players about getting on Lindy’s bad side.😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 17 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said: Is that how he got to be 5th all time in WINS in NHL history? Kinda, yea. Total wins in any sport in never a judgment of success but just doing a thing for a long time. Kinda like people that complain when they get left behind for younger more talented people with the justification that "I've been doing this for 35 years!", forgetting that quality always trumps quantity. Jeff Fisher is 11th all time in NFL wins for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Jim Boeheim is second all time in wins for men’s basketball. He’s the perfect analog for Lindy Ruff, minus the fact he’s actually won a championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HILLsabre Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 II haven't contributed/responded on sabrespace since Lindy being let go and the ushering in of the now famous Tank/Rebuild. I'm excited about the hire and look forward to Lindy's footprint on this team...Figuratively and perhaps literally?? I'm back with Lindy!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 As far as Mike Weber as an assistant, he is a dark horse candidate for the head coaching job in Ottawa apparently. Late last week I was listening to 590 out of Toronto, they spent a few minutes talking about the Ottawa job and his name was brought up (not as the favorite but they did bring it up). 1 hour ago, SabresVet said: It's times like this I really don't think Adams has much power. The big decisions seem to be made by the owner behind the curtain. I like the hiring, I like Ruff and want him to do well. But at the same time, I think what you said has more truth to it than most want to admit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Slack_in_MA said: Now that’s a hot take. I don’t think you meant to say “never”. I absolutely did. Total wins is NEVER an appropriate or valuable statistic to use. I already mentioned why. It's what we call a "vanity metric". Winning percentage is infinitely more valuable and applying winning percentage over X games gives you an apples to apples comparison against peer groups.

Pimlach Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 1 hour ago, SHAAAUGHT!!! said: Whether you’re elated or deflated about this hiring, I can’t wait to see how Lindy handles Skinner, and what Jeff Skinner shows up for the Sabres next year… There is only one Skinner. Lindy will tolerate very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
