ricojes Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I like Ruff, and it's a good move, even though he drives me crazy when he constantly changes the lines. But there should be more pressure on him to win now that they have an owner willing to go for it. This really should be an interesting off season. Ruff signs contract extention, Pegula pissed to be out of playoffs...
BuffaloBill Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Ruff is a very solid coach and it would be very good for him, the team and the city to win a cup in Buffalo.
Cugalabanza Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I think letting Drury and Briere walk was a mistake and it set the team back for a couple years. About now they are beginning to build something good again. Next year should be a big step forward.

ricojes Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 The WNY war cry: NEXT YEAR!! Exactly! And it's primarily because the Buffalo teams would get close and then lose key players. But with an owner willing to spend, things may change, they can keep the key players and sign addition players. And that's what is getting fans excited...

Chef Jim Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 .Such a miserable legacy As I've mentioned up here in SF I tell people I'm from SoCal (where I lived for 26 years) instead of Buffalo. That way they hate me instead of feel sorry for me. That I can handle.

About now they are beginning to build something good again. Next year should be a big step forward. ARGH! I said it then and I will say it now... Life is sometimes scripted... In the end it was for the best and financial makeup of the team where Golisano righted the org finacially and left it in good shape for the new owner Pegula.
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) ..and Brian Campbell. Could we have used him vs the Flyers? .Such a miserable legacy Not really... Remember the Sabres were coming out of bankruptcy w/ Golisano... He couldn't over pay... Now, under Pegula... It may be a different story. What would have happened if they won a Cup then left town? It would be worse. Now with Pegula, the Sabres will always be in BFLO. Just think if Balsillie got his hands on this team! Edited April 30, 2011 by ExiledInIllinois
