coach, Lindy Ruff appeared a little grayer, said he's a bit wiser and sounded more motivated than ever to restore success to a franchise that has known mostly losing during an NHL-record 13-season playoff drought.
He then reiterated the message general manager Kevyn Adams voiced a week earlier when he launched the coaching search after firing Don Granato.Flanked by Adams and team owner Terry Pegula, making a rare public appearance, inside the pavilion of the Sabres' arena, Ruff fondly reflected on how the building rocked during Buffalo's various playoff runs.
Since then, Buffalo is on its eighth head coach and fourth GM and finished last in the overall NHL standings four times. "Lindy knows how to win and he knows how to take a team to another level," said Pegula, who fired Ruff two years after purchasing the franchise."He may be the most competitive person I've ever met in my life. Just go fishing with him and you may never go fishing with him again."
