Don't mean this to sound like a troll but I would say it is the lineup that is to blame.... the centers are almost laughable? The team also has no toughness.

Lindy has made it a career of getting more than he should out of teams that didn't boast the most high priced talent. I think the fans in Buffalo are just so used to that, that they expect it every year.

All our centers are under 24 years hold with a total of 6 years experience... g

The flames a few years ago.
- SABRES 89

Rule #1 Don't follow in the Flames footsteps!

Brian Burke would clean house

Keenan does have a very good track record, though not as a Players Coach. I'm not hating the idea. Though, he may be out touring with the Sky Coasters, playing trumpet.

DAYUUUUUUUUMMM!!!

hello.. nice to see you in here

You believe poop like this is being sent Lindy's sons way?
Classless SOB'S!



Brian Ruff ‏@BRuffles22
“@EvanEnsminger: @BRuffles22 your dads a gypsy have fun being poor. Btw buffalo always hated YOU not your dad” thanks man.Make my day worse

Oh and because I know everyone here I just DYING to hear my opinion on this firing, I think the Sabres should give Marc Crawford a look.

Ruff? I thought Miller was the coach...

Actually when I saw the headline, I was actually quite sad for Lindy Ruff, there was a couple of years where the club/team deserved to win the Stanley Cup and probably a few injuries and some calls screwed us, but I guess that is the way it is.

Sure he is a great guy, but whether it be the players with a mini revolt I don't know but obviously something wasn't right and we can't sack all the players.

Good luck Lindy you will get a job somewhere else for sure but for the club this is a step in the right direction.

so I hope you are all happy now

that is retarded... but that is what you get from social media that is instant. No one gets time to think through what they are saying before hitting send.. and everyone wants to be funny..

Harry Neale will be the coach . For 2 minutes or less.

Yeah that seems like the consensus here. I wouldn't mind him in Vancouver next year at all if the Canucks have another disappointing post-season, assuming he won't be hired by another team during this season.
- Nucker101

I wouldn't be surprised if he stays with the Sabres in some context...
Darcy said he'd NEVER fire him,
Its weird how they said "relieved of duty" though.... I wonder if that means he's still gonna be w the Sabres, just not as coach?

But if he is gone,
I think he'd be a good choice

Bring Back Scotty Bowman

omfg quit whining about it already jeebus

Bigger problem was Ruff, IMO. He is hands on with these players every day and never changed his ways.
- stashu

That's right.

It's like being your kids 'best friend' instead of being a parent. After a while it gets stale. They lose respect and the message doesn't get across.

Sometimes you gotta tell it like it is. Lindy's handprint was too broad on this team.

Must have been a Sabres fan from Philly..

I don't know about Crawford . After Colorado he wore out his welcome fast anywhere he went . You gotta look at everybody available.

so I hope you are all happy now

we know this season is shot and possibly next.. but we have some good youth coming up, so with the right moves we could be contenders again soon.
