7 Billion people on Earth and Ruff just happens to choose Seth Appert
Watching this, Lindy is either a great actor or is truly excited to have Appert on his staff.
Adam's also says Pegula's pockets are completely open and he is completely hands off as well but everything seems to contradict that.Think it's more of a Terry thing wanting to keep him around imo. Known Pegula crony with a similar story to how Adams got the job.
I believe that Terry is willing to spend but I do not believe he is hands off. Doesn't have to be one or the other.Adam's also says Pegula's pockets are completely open and he is completely hands off as well but everything seems to contradict that.
If it is true, maybe we should point all fingers at Adams and leave Terry out or it.
I'm not sure our young D developed well under Wilford. There is no question for Bales, he should have stayed. I was expecting 1-2 assistants with NHL experience. Appert and Rochester haven't been as good this season as they were last season. Yes, he seems to know how to work with young forwards, but we are not in a development season and will have to fight for a place in the playoffs, I don’t know how they will cope, all hope is for Ruff and for Adams to make 2-3 good trades.I don't think it was needed, tbh. Wilford did a bang up job with the D and the PK, Bales did a great job with UPL. Appert gets a chance at working with the forwards and the PP. Ellis, much like most of his career, gets to head to the press box and provide insight in that manner. I know people wanted sweeping changes but they honestly were not needed. I also trust that Ruff has the authority to banish someone if it isn't working.
Why did I read this is Aragorn's voice?It can always be worse.
Jokiharju would probably disagreeI'm not sure our young D developed well under Wilford. There is no question for Bales, he should have stayed. I was expecting 1-2 assistants with NHL experience.

Power says hi, and I'm not big fan Jokiharju, he's had one decent season so far, otherwise no.Jokiharju would probably disagree
So had Lindy not agreed to come back, appert would be head coach right
That's what I kind of take from this.
Power is still young and learning, Joki is coming into his prime and looks to have figured it out under Wilford. I wouldn't even begin to put judgement on Power yet.Power says hi, and I'm not big fan Jokiharju, he's had one decent season so far, otherwise no.
If he can get Krebs to pull his head out of his ass I'll consider it a win.Appert should be a great conduit for Lindy to connect with the young guys since he coached many of them.
It may have already been hashed out during the back and forth Ruff had with Adams before he agreed to the job. Then they just waited until the Amerks were eliminated before making announcements.A fanbase versus a coach who we assumed who would be wielding some form of power when he was hired.
Maybe we were wrong in our assumption, maybe not. Guess we'll see, I certainly have no problem with the hiring.
Sadly its an emotional/reactionary world. I think Doug is trying to troll people for his TikTok.This forum is getting nearly unreadable. The pathologies on display are just mind-numbing.
We hired a successful AHL head coach to be the third man on our bench, who by all accounts is excellent at organization, professionalism, and relationships. And the same people who lost their minds when Appert's AHL assistants got poached are losing their minds in the opposite direction.
People are acting like we hired him to be the head coach. Or that there's some secret plan to make him the HC in a few years. If Lindy has any success here, he's not retiring for another 5+ years. If he fails, then he, Adams, and likely Appert are all looking for work.
Yes, it would be nice to have an experienced third AC on the bench, but that isn't going to make or break this season. Appert is completely capable of conveying Lindy's message and gameplan to our (yes, still) young forwards.
I beg of some of you, log off. It's the off-season of the off-season. Go to the cottage.

I'll believe Ellis is eye in the sky when I see it.
In any case, I am skeptical about this coaching staffPower is still young and learning, Joki is coming into his prime and looks to have figured it out under Wilford. I wouldn't even begin to put judgement on Power yet.
What about Ruff saying it in his own words.I'll believe Ellis is eye in the sky when I see it.
No joke. Ruff is another lackey.7 Billion people on Earth and Ruff just happens to choose Seth Appert
No joke. Ruff is another lackey.
Ellis was a Pegula/Adams hire for the organization. The Ruff hire was in no way to pry it from Adams/Terry. Hell, Adams worked for Ruff.Bench or no bench. To me it’s odd to hire a new HC and basically retain the entire staff just reshuffled with no outside assistant.
I thought the best part of the Ruff hire was to pry the franchise from Terry/Kevyn. But this assistant coaching lineup is uninspiring.
I don’t know, maybe Lindy is bringing everybody in close to evaluate? Trying to be glass half full about it…
