Very Similar indeed. But Moss had his best numbers with the pats and thats when he won the rings. Hasek had his best numbers here in Buffalo and was the best in the league when he was on a average team.

I hear better failed attempts at insults from 10 year olds.

Everything with you leads to insults.

Moss was great. However, unlike Rice, was not a great team player or consistant.

Sweet, did you play on the Vikings or the Raiders?

Again, I bring you Barry Trotz. Did Ruff have the greatest goalie of all time? Yes, but he had crap in front of him.
- Dwight K. Schrute


Trotz is no Scotty Bowman, but he has taken the Preds to the playoffs 7 of the last 8 seasons.

Lindy has been to the playoffs only 4 times in the last 10 years.

That is effing brutal and gets you fired in every NHL city except Buffalo. (Even Nashville.)

Not in the defensive zone he was not!

Because he scored a goal you make him the best dman?

I urge you to watch the game back.

The best dman in his own zone was Weber not Sekera.

I remember quite a few times Sekera pinching at the wrong time and getting caught up ice. Sorry, that does not equate to being the best defenseman just because he scored a goal.

Watch the game back and you will see. It's all there.

i admire the log run lindy has been on. that said it may be time for a fresh voice. especially given what ownership has promised to the fans and market.

Why because he got his ass beat in a fight? Sekera made 1 bad play. He also scored a goal and was a monster in the offensive zone all night. Weber played 12 min, he should be disqualified from the conversation

L.Adam is another player that ruff has killed. Remember when he was playing with Vanek and putting up points. Next thing we see is him play wing with the 4th line guys. Great coaching!

I hope to good he doesn't do the same to Grigs

- Smittyx36

Remember when he disappeared from the scoring charts? Remember when injuries forced some line shuffling? It's Luke Adam.

I remember Adam not playing defense a single bit... I think him and Enroth were about equal.....
- JVince11

He was putting the puck in the net and making plays offensively. Something we were lacking that season....

I don't think throwing a skilled forward on the 4th line is gonna help him learn defense. Its just gonna kill his offensive skills.

Because Darcy has a good track record in getting the job done that each owner has asked of him. Darcy has kept our cupboards stocked as best he was allowed under previous regimes. Contrary to what people think, Lindy is a good coach. Has he always had the tools to succeed? Your a fool if you hink so. Everyone thinks Lindy runs some tight defensive system and that is false. He allows his defensemen to pinch to keep the puck in the offensive zone and create scoring chances. Does he preach defense? Absolutely. I wouldn't want a coach that didn't.
- Dwight K. Schrute


He still might be a good coach, but this team needs a new voice. Look at the Blues. They were a basement team, Hitchcock came in and turned them around quickly without much personnel change.

This team would be above average with the right coach.

BINGO!

12 minutes does not mean anything.. especially since he was on our lowest pairing which means he probably went against guys to the like of Colton Orr in the defensive zone.

Congratulations.....

i'm done answering this guy. the only case you can possibly make is myers, and hes just naming every other player on the team now.

Thank you.

All you have to do is watch the game back to know this.

The evidence is there.

Wow your a fool, weber did everything right with no mistakes, weber also does not play the pp and well lack of min that's on ruff, he over loads Hoff and Myers, and weber getting into a fight has nothing to do with his play in his own zone,

He disappeared when they put him on the 4th line. Put Vanek on the 4th line and his numbers will drastically go down. Put anyone on the 4th line for that matter

Yup. But ruff squeezes every bit of talent out of these guys .
Thats why leino did so good, erhoff, myers, stafford,roy, etc.

Ruff was a good coach but his time here in Buffalo needs to come to a end.

- Smittyx36


Leino hasn't done anything different then he's done for any other coach...
Ehrhoff* - has been one of our best Defensemen since coming here. The only thing different for him is that he doesn't have Sedin twins to stack up PP points for him on his breakout passes...
Myers - Also one of our teams best players, you have nothing to say other than the BS that other members on this board make up.
Stafford - Maybe you have me on this one, but I don't think he ever had the drive needed to succeed at this level.
Roy - Really? We got more from him then any team will ever get from him....

You didn't back any of those up with any examples of how Ruff ruined them, so I'm assuming you are just full of poop and throwing out names.

BTW I love your "take away that year" statement on Vanek. Vanek has done nothing but improve as an all around player year after year. Your opinion is now meaningless to me. Is there anyway to mute someone or not see their posts?
