mbal23 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 @TheStanchion: Lindy Ruff fired? I didn't think that was possible, he's been there forever. Wow. Somehow this is Cody Hodgson's fault. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Swansons Moustache Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 When you have Miller shooting his mouth off left and right, you know there's some issues in Sabre land. More changes to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Wow, I thought we'd see Miller traded before this happening. Well there's a solid coach available now. If he doesn't get hired before the summer, the Canucks have an option if AV can't get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've always liked Ruff and I wouldn't mind seeing him here but I'm not sure Kassian would be too happy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas19 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 IF you're going to fire AV, now is the time. Fire AV and nab Ruff. I've said all along that I would only agree with firing AV if there was a better option available. I think Ruff might be that better option.

Darkstar Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 There's rumours floating around that Patrick Roy might be the new/interim coach of the Sabres. Not sure if there's any truth to that but it's still interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
