    Are you all glad we kept Ruff now?

    Almost 5 complete periods this year without a goal as I write this.
    The team is sleep walking, or very slow and lumbering. No energy or enthusiasm.
    Same old. They even look WORSE than last year.
    Ruff should have been let go.

    I'm not sure it's Ruff's fault that no one seems to know how to shoot the puck ON the goal right now...
    Maybe they just need more practice with the new lines?

              This team sucks.

                First two games of the season, and yet not one Sabres goal, a shameful display...

                I believe Ruff is a terrible coach and only brought the team to the finals in '99 because of Hasek and Peca...

                Has he gotten the team anywhere after they left?

                Ruff has had his time and the lack of effort by the Sabres players on the ice proves that, be gone with Lindy and bring us a coach that will make these players work for their money...

                  I don't know what the problem is with this team. I don't think Hasek and Peca were the reasons we got to the cup final. If i remember correctly, Hasek only bailed us out of one or two games that playoff...namely the first game against Ottawa when he stopped 40 plus shots.. Ruff is a good coach but, he doesn't have the horses here. Chris drury is good, Andy Delmore is good...but, theyre not superstars. Drury is a damn good player, don't get me wrong, but we still have no game breakers on this team and theyre still going to struggle to score. Strap it on folks...once we get back from this western swing, we might have only a few points to show for our efforts!!! Out of the playoffs by November. I hope not.

                    Peeeeewwwwww!!!

                    I don't ever remember back to back shutouts, much less a season starting out by getting shut out twice.

                    Even as a humble expansion team we were better than this.

                            ALso If RUFF would PRACTICE MORE, instead of forcing players to watch tapes :)

                              I personally like Lindy Ruff and have supported him in the past. But it's obvious this team has the same attitude, and unfortunetly, you can't ship out the entire team. You can ship out the coach, however. If we lose the first five games (like I think we will), then I'll drive Ruff to the airport.
