Lindy Ruff: Win=Golf, Loss= No Golf

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

WGRZ's Ed Kilgore just reported this on the 6'OClock sports,

The Sabres are in Florida to play the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight and the Florida Panthers tomorrow night. Lindy in his press conf. today said that he's going to reward his team if the team wins tonight's game he's going to let them go golfing tomorrow with NO PRACTICE! but if they tonight he's going to work them hard in practice the next day with NO GOLF!

wtf? They should be practicing no matter what, especially with the way they've been playing lately.

What happens if they play a sloppy game but Tampa is even sloppier and they win 6-5 with 3 weak goals?

Seems as thought Lindy has ran out of ideas and has decided to just dangle a carrot in front of the donkey. Maybe he will get a different reaction out of them doing this. Gotta try something different once in a while.

Shhh... Op is clearly more qualified to run this team than Lindy is. Haven't you seen all the second hand knowledge he's displayed in here lately?

yeah, it really takes a genius to figure out that when you're not good enough you need to practice. Do you think the Sabres have been good enough over the last 6 weeks or so?

Mental preparation and the physcological side can be just as important as the physical side.

Don't argue with him. Nobody who is critical of the Sabres knows anything...according to him. However, I do believe this team is exactly where I said they would be and that is not in the playoffs and very mediocre.

Re: Lindy Ruff: Win=Golf, Loss= No Golf

Ok, so you are telling me that doing the same thing every week and getting the kind of production that we have as of late is what Lindy should keep doing? Wasn't it you, OP, that proclaimed the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting different results (einstein quote)? Sounds like he is actually taking your advice...

You have this so wrong it's not even funny. I have no problem being critical of the Sabres. It's pretty clear they haven't been playing very well and they deserve criticism. The difference is that I'm not hopeless about their chances down the road. I also don't beat everybody over the head with negativity every chance I get.

I also don't understand how you guys can act so dissapointed now when you said before the season you expected them to be no good because of the offseason fiasco. Wouldn't you have been expecting all these struggles to come when your sights were set so low in the first place? Why do you have the right to act so angry and shocked now that it's actually happening?

At least Op is consistent... Nighthawk, I lost all respect for you the moment this team went on a big winning streak and you were nowhere to be found... right up until they started losing again of course. You're hear to complain and nothing else.

Oh well he had better things to do at that time, it just happened to be a time when they were winning.

The magnitude of what the front office has done to this team deserves YEARS of *****ing. They have done the exact opposite of their jobs. Winning championships is what pro sports is all about, and this team has regressed from that goal as a direct result of the FO's actions. As long as the effects are seen on the ice, there will be outrage, and no amount of outrage is enough. If they don't return to the ECF, you ain't heard nothing yet. I can't fire them, I can't shoot them, so this is what I do.
