And he's only made the post-season in 7 out of 19 seasons without Dominek Hasek as his starting goalie.
I am not worried about him hanging around for another 17 year stint, I am just worried they will be hitting the reset button yet again, in 2 seasons.
Yep, the difference in reactions on the main board vs the Sabres board speaks to some blind optimism from some, imo.
I’d love to be wrong, but Ruff can get shouty and that’s about it, at this point. That’s something the team needs, no doubt, and if Ruff has excellent assistant coaches it can work- see NJ last year- but assistant coaching isn’t something we’re good at. So this is the cheapest somewhat seemingly respectable hire, it will go nowhere- best case is we stall out as a first round nothing for a few years, waste the primes of a few dudes, and then gotta reset in 4-5 years instead of 2. Like- we are always settling for bare minimum. Who the f*** thinks Ruff is gonna win a cup? Nobody. This is the perfect hire for the forever rebuild.
