    Sabres reuniting with Lindy Ruff to fill head coach role

    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.

    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!
