Those dates seem accurate. Lindy, now and forever.

I can't wait to see what he does in 79 years to finally get fired.

And to be the coach of the Sabres for that long...that's Ruff.

I came to say the same thing.

2103? Thats pretty damned impressive! I'm surprised the Sabres stayed in Buffalo that long let alone coached by Ruff the whole time.

They saw him suck the life out of the Devils and thought this was a good idea?

What the hell? Feels like April fools. This is why Buffalo shouldn't be used as examples in rebuild arguments. They keep hiring the wrong coaches.

Yeah, enjoy your mediocrity Buffalo.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to windex the panels of my house.

This is going to fail epically, Ruff is a terrible coach. What a gong show the Sabres management is.

That's why hiring competent management is essential. The Sabres will continue being horrible.

Ruff had moments in the past where he seemed decent, but it's been a long time since those days. He's been pretty mediocre to poor in recent years. A perfect fit in Buffalo.

I don't know like why not look at a guy that's still in his coaching prime that's under 60 and has had some recent success like Berube? I just don't understand how you look at the coach landscape and decide that 64 year old Lindy Ruff is the best coach for your team.

It is 2024. Jacques Martin is with the Senators and Lindy Ruff is with the Sabres.

Is this a real league or a simulation??

And the Sabres have their coach for the remainder of their rebuild.
