Lindy Ruff returns as Sabres head coach!



Lindy Ruff returns as Sabres head coach!

In maybe the most interesting move the Sabres could have made at head coach, Lindy Ruff is back! Lindy returns to Buffalo for his second try at winning a Stanley Cup in Buffalo.

Sneaky Joe explains why this move, with so much emotion involved, is so polarizing. Joe also shares why he believes Lindy is a good hire, outside of the nostalgic reasons.

    Thank you RJ hanging among the Hockey Gods for sending Buffalo hockey their favorite coaching son!!!!

    LFG!!!!!!

    I would only like more if they hired Gallant. Rod was never at option and Q shouldn’t coach ever again

    I’m happy to have Lindy back

    Tom Fitzgerald = Darcy Regier. Both saved their own a$$ by firing a a great coach they expected to succeed with their crappy general management.

  15. @TheDarthmalstrom

    You're happy about a retread? You know what the definition of insanity is right? Why can't this team escape the past? This is a bad move by a bad owner and a bad general manager. Sad, if there's one consolation it's that when this doesn't work (and it won't) we'll be looking for a new General manager who will hopefully hire a coach who's never been affiliated with the Buffalo Sabres…..

    I've liked Lindy ever since he beat up Billy Smith in the 1980's playoffs. I now have the Sabres going to the Eastern Conference Finals next year. Tage scores 50 and UPL wins the Vezina.

  17. @user-dg1qh3vp1x

    Mr. Ruff is a good coach, commendable record but why do we always hire someone with a connection to the Sabres? Other coaches good as well, outside the organization could provide a different perspective. Get over the nostalgia state of mind.

  18. @rjohn3471

    Old Sabres fans love him, going back to his rookie season. He wasn't the biggest or toughest but he had a presence, aggressive and never backed down. Maybe he can help find at least 2 players like him, because right now only Cozens has that spirit.

  22. @steveb1962

    Welcome Back Lindy! You been sorely missed.

    Now get back to work and finish the job of bringing Lord Stanley to the Queen city!!!!

    LFG!!!!!

  23. @timdj9826

    If "NJ is the only team younger than the sabres" how are the sabres the youngest team in hockey joe?!?

  29. @edcap6017

    I’m just wondering if GM KA had an open mind and interviewed several candidates to hear what they had to say rather than going in with a pre-conceived idea that Lindy was the one and only right guy for the job. In any event, I wish Lindy much success in his return to Buffalo.

    Put the ship in the right direction and whether we win the cup or not we'll be in a better place because of him

    This franchise deserves every bad thing that happens to it. Let’s bring in a 65 year old who underachieved with Dallas. And then went backwards with a young loaded offensive team this year, that was lousy defensively (yes I know their goaltending wasn’t good either). So let’s bring him in to try & take a young team with loads of raw offensive talent, with goaltending questions & who also stinks defensively, to turn things around! Makes perfect sense logically…😂. I give it 2 – 3 years & Tage Thompson will be wanting away from this dumpster fire. Just like Eichel, O’Reilly, etc.

    I remember where I was when he got fired too. Listening to Schoop and Bulldog I was on the 219 getting off at Armor Duells and the moment he said that, my dad goes “Things are about to change around here”
