The only way this guy could be more repulsive and annoying to me, would be if he coached the Leafs. I even had enough of him when he was going off on Tucker last year, which I know is hard to believe. Kind of ironic that a guy who was no more than a goon when he played hates today's enforcers.

True, true...he looks pretty mean in those shots of him on the bench. I wonder if the reason the Sabres win so much is because they're afraid of Ruff's reaction if their win percentage slips below .700  hahaha only joking |

Ya he is definatly the most annoying coach in the league. He is always yelling and if something goes wrong for the Sabers, he's mad. But he is a really good coach, so Mik should be happy about that. The only other coach who bothers me is Michel Terrien. He has a great team of young players and acts like he is responsible for their record this year.
Long Live Leafs Nation!! |

| It was a technically "clean" hit last night, maybe a little late. But I agree that sometimes Ruff is pretty abrasive. He often sounds like he thinks the world is out to get him so if he yells loudly everyone will stop. |

| I think Ruff out coached Murray. After the hit (which was neither dirty nor late) which obviously caused some serious injury to one of the Sabres Star players, why the hell would he put out the Spezza line. Its almost guaranteed that the Sabres were going to be just a bit choked about it. Murray should have put out McGrattan and some others who could throw em. In my opinion, Ruff did the right thing. You take a shot at one of our best players, we will do the same to Spezza and Heatley (who by the way totally bitched out). |

McGrattan was a healthy scratch

The Oiler fans did that earlier in the year when MacT made some pretty harsh comments about McGeough when he called the glove pass in the Dallas game.
It's still cool that fans would do that, but Buffalo is copying Edmonton.
We will see if Lindy Ruff does the stand up thing like MacT did. He paid his fine himself(the Oilers more than likely covered it) and he took the $10k that the fans gave him and handed it to a local charity.

| Lindy Ruff doesn't take crap. There team does well because he makes there work ethic so well watching them play there always fighting for every loose puck and working hard. Lindy is just frustrated already without Spacek, Afinogenov, Kotalik and Gaustad and i could go on but i say he is a good coach just dosen't take crap from no one. |

Not really the same....running your mouth after the game is one thing, being blatantly stupid is another.
....now if MacT had sent some goons out to fight McGeough....

And, he didn't except the money, he paid off his fine himself. He's not a bad guy. he's a coach.. he's doing what every other coach does, plays hard and gives the next team approaching hell. He's smart. Yes he's a hotthead, but I mean c'mon 9 guys on the injury list, the longest list right now (since I last checked) thats alot.. so with drury added as the nineth, I would want to throw a fit too. Whether it was a late hit or not, no one will ever agree.. but Lindy just reacted for his team, and his teammates obviously agreed because they went after their star players. I mean hey, you want to hate Lindy, whatever, hate.. but why? Cause he's team player? .. Well his team right now has a lot of called up rookies, and they're keeping up, they just kicked toronto's ass. I think Lindy had every right. I'm Done. |

The guys that he put out on the ice know it's their job to do that. Just by putting them on the ice, they knew what they were being asked to do.
Although sources tell me it sounded something like this:
Lindy Ruff:"That was a late hit! Seriously, Ref, pull your head out of your ass! OK, that's it, I've had it!"
Andrew Peters:(use dumb caveman voice) "Yeah coach....."
LR: "OK, now they're gonna put out Niel and some goons...no, wait...Spezza? Comrie? Oh man, this is too sweet.....PETERS...MAIR...you're up!"
AP: "Yeah coach......."
LR: (stares intensely into Peter's eyes) "You know what to do....or else no Red Lobster after the game"
AP: "Yeah coach....."
Adam Mair: "You want us to score some sweet goals, right?"
LR: (rolling eyes) "yeah guys....go score some sweet goals......*sigh*"

It's also kind of ironic that the Buffalo Sabres beat the Ottowa Senators in five games last year in the post season. And it's also kind of ironic that Lindy Ruff won the Jack Adams award last year. Ya know why? Because he beat the #1 team in the eastern conference in 5 games, if it was 4 then Bryan Murray would be out of a job. Jason Pominville rules! Chris Neil sucks! You people suck for being an Ottowa fan.

Grab a dictionary, look up 'ironic'...also, assuming you're Canadian, learn how to spell 'Ottawa'.

Look, I don't think it was a dirty hit, even being a Sabes fan. But you can't blame rough for getting upset over it. Neil did make a b-line straight for Drury to hit him. There was clear intent there, legal or illegal.
In the old days, if stars got hit like that, there was retaliation. Eye for an eye. That's the mentality that Lindy has, and I actually think it's refreshing. And I don't think he hates today's enforcers. But he does have a responsibility to protect his players and that's what he did. You're chastising Ruff for going after Spezza and Comrie, maybe you should look in the mirror. If Neil doesn't go after Drury, none of this is an issue.
The fact remains - there are deeper issues here. First and foremost, crap like this will always happen as long as the instigator rule is in effect and the league continues to crack down on fighting. Let the players police themselves and major injuries will be lessened. Guaranteed.
Also, it looks like you folks in Ottawa needs to exorcise some demons. You've made it clear that you guys are still salty over last year's quick exit from the playoffs. In fact, I think it goes even deeper than that. But, I guess when you've lost to the Sabes 3 times and the Leafs 4 times in 15 seasons of existence, it's bound to get personal. At any rate, I'll be looking forward to the Sens early exit again this year, most likely against the surging Pens in the 1st round. |

That could be literal in hockey...just insert "black" before eye each time. Or tooth for a tooth is likely too, lol
