Sabres reuniting with Lindy Ruff to fill head coach role (sportsnet.ca)
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Lindy Ruff has some unfinished business in Buffalo.
Some 11 years after being fired as the Sabres' winningest coach, and following head-coaching stops in Dallas and New Jersey, the 64-year-old Ruff is getting his old job back after being hired by the Sabres on Monday. He takes over a team in the midst of an NHL-record 13-season playoff drought, replacing Don Granato, who was fired last week after three-plus seasons behind the bench.
For Ruff, the hiring marks a homecoming. The former Sabres defenseman and captain went on to spend 14-plus seasons coaching the team, including its final postseason appearance — a seven-game, first-round loss to Philadelphia in 2011...
So what says the Sabres Mafia? The fans have been calling for Ruff, and now he returns.PC Players: Hidden Content , Hidden Content , Hidden Content , Hidden Content & Hidden Content

It is an interesting, but not entirely surprising move. Obviously, the results will be what tells the real story here. It is time for a post-season return. I have always liked him, I just hope he is the right guy for the job at this stage in his career and the team’s position. Here’s hoping it works out… the fans deserve it!
