        Ruff stays, several players go.
        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

          With good players, Ruff has gotten his team to the playoffs. With very good players, Ruff has gotten his teams deep into the playoffs. When we lost very good players (Hasek, Briere, Drury, etc) Ruff has missed the playoffs. There seems to be a pattern. I wonder what Ruff could do with a team that had more very good players.

            Ruff is a very good coach and will stay. I do blame the poor effort in game 7 partly on him. Not sure if he said or did anything leading up to the game but that team was not ready to play last night.

                If you can't get up yourself for a game 7, you have no business being in the NHL.

                  I hope he stays, actually. He's done a good job with this team given the talent level and what he has to work with, I think.

                  Let me put it this way - given the choice between watching a typical Sabres game and a typical Buffalo Bills game over the last few years or so, I'd watch the Sabres every time.

                  This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
                  per play average than the Bills' offense!

                    Ruff looked defeated on the bench. that interview he gave panger was painful.

                    But i don't know how you coach the defeatism our team seemed to have. all the post games everyone said, "we let them off in game 6." and that seemed to be all they thought about in game 7.

                      I sure hope not, he constantly disappoints as a coach. Even 5-2 wins are a result of 2 good periods and 1 awful period of play, he never has this team or any team he has coached prepared to play a whole game.

                        Ruff stays.

                        Pegula gives him better players to coach.

                        ????

                        Profit.

                          Ask the question this way:

                          How long would a coach, GM, Director of Hockey Operations, VP, etc. be out of work and not offered a job if they were fired? If the answer is "less than a week" then why get rid of them?

                              That logic makes no sense and I always get sick a little when I hear it. it is time a change. The same logic applies to just about any player you want to get rid of too. To all the Connolly haters, the Penguins will sign him in the first week. Heck, it applies to a McDonalds worker that gets fired, he can have a job at Burger King or Wendy's within a week.
