people seem to forget that.the cap kinda evens things out a bit too.kinda hard to do anything when you're spending half of what the Rangers were doing.even then,they still couldn't make the playoffs either.
I'm sick of Ruff...the team always sucks for the first six weeks...and when they aren't that good it's too big of a hole to dig themselves out of. I'd love to see ruff sent packing.
I don't know why some of you want him gone just yet. He got us to a Stanley Cup Finals and was a bad call away from bringing this city it's first sporting title. That puts him in the same class as Marv Levy IMO among Buffalo sports legends. He hasn't exactly had top talent to work with since 2000 and he had to endure the Rigas thing, the team almost relocating, and a lockout, and he stuck it out and gave us a few glimmers of hope by the team making runs to almost reach the playoffs, all with half the money and half talent of other teams.
I think he still deserves a shot at coaching here... the next few seasons will determine his long-term fate though. Now with an "evened" playing field and loads of young talent, if the Sabres don't start going to the playoffs and winning a round or two then he's going to be gone.
Wow, what are you talking about? Not even close man.
Dear jfreeman,
We need to talk.

Ted Nolan once said, one day they want to name the bridge after you, the next day they want to throw you off it.
Ruff is obviously here for another year. But given that he is one of the longest tenured coaches in the league, WHY, I have no idea, he'll get another chance.

Re: RUFF AND REGIER AX THREAD
Give Lindy a chance!!! before jumping to conclusions lets just see what coaching ideas he comes up with in this new NHL they maybe pretty good. Also Golisano & Quinn have given Darcy permission to go out and make trades and sign FA's something that he didn't have permission to do under the crooks the Rigas's

What coaches have taken Buffalo franchises to title games?
Levy, Saban, Smith, and Ruff.
Give the guy some credit and a chance to coach a decent roster before you bash him.
Re: RUFF AND REGIER AX THREAD
that's right.....
get angry about it Typ0.
With a new system in place you give Ruff a chance and see what they can do. I'm already not to sure what the hell Darcy is doing though with not signing Satan. With all the changes in place you would think Satan would be a great asset to your team.

I agree time and time again with the "crooked owner" side. We need to see what this team can do with a level playing field, and not strapped with the BS Rigass left us with. If the Sabres continue to play cheapasses even after the new CBA, then we have issues.
I am also concerned with the whole Satan thing. If they had at least stated they were going to let him test the waters, but they intended to try and bring him back for a reduced price, I might feel better about it. But I'm already getting that "Oh no, not again" feeling from the Front Office.
With the salary cap, each team should be able to afford one marque player? Is ours Drury? 3.2 Mil? Is that it?
How old is free agency? 12 hours?
When the league's 50 goal scorers are going to struggle to get 6 million, is a 25 goal scorer worth 4 million?
no
Dump Ruff,
Defense First with A Young Defensive Unit is just plain idiotic.... Britney spears can coach better.

how many chances does he have to have before you are happy? I'll tell you right now...there isn't one team in the league going to have the all star roster it would take to make ruff look good.
Satan is an asset on his good days...the rest he's a liability. He probably won't even be in the NHL this season because a lot of spoiled "players" are going to be driven out at least temporarily. Let him go home and laze around and make $$$ because he can play when he wants too.
Re: RUFF AND REGIER AX THREAD
anybody else got anything to add?
