Would be pretty hilarious if all of Jersey’s first choices rejected them (Gallant, Laviolette) and they’re stuck with Ruff . Don’t count on it though.

Won 1 playoff round in his last ten head coaching seasons, it’s hilarious/sad how the league cycles through the same 15 guys.

Exactly.

His entire coaching career was a series of disappointments and failures. Even after Buffalo fired him, he has done nothing to deserve another head coaching job. In fact he has done a lot not to deserve one.

Do we really need another bag of pucks? Can’t imagine a dollar value on his canceling his contract with us. One can only hope ...

The FHM player in me says bring in Pronger, Chelios, Stevens or Boucher (if he’s willing to be AM) to coach the defense ... but video games and reality often differ greatly. :laugh:

I wonder if the Devils poach Ruff if the NYR could steal Nasreddine back for that role.

Please let him go there. I guess the Devils are dumb enough to think he's the guy developing our defenseman and it's not just that the Devils are the worst organization in hockey drafting defenseman.
