BillsFanNC Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 No doubt Lindy was the most deserving. Congrats.
Indy Dave Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Good for Lindy. He deserved it. Final voting totals were Ruff 155, Laviolette 154.
NCDAWG Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Congrats lindy, damn fine season...but his hardest season of coaching will be next year.
KD in CA Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Congratulations to Lindy! I just caught the last 20 minutes of the awards show on OLN.
PromoTheRobot Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 155 to 154? Did Laviolette start crying about the voters? PTR
NCDAWG Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 No but I am sure Brindamor stormed out of the awards after.
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Now, let's low ball him a new contract in perfect Sabres tradition. Seriously, congrats to Ruff. I was a big Nolan guy but Ruff has earned my respect and then some.
eball Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Great news and well deserved. Longest tenured coach in the NHL and on his way (if not already there) to being the greatest coach in Sabres' history.
Corp000085 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Great news and well deserved. Longest tenured coach in the NHL and on his way (if not already there) to being the greatest coach in Sabres' history. 712982[/snapback] i'd say that the miniscule amount of doubt that existed in the theory if ruff was the best coach in sabres history was washed away last night. A cup win or two and you have to start talking nhl history, not sabres history.
BillsFanNC Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 No but I am sure Brindamor stormed out of the awards after. 712926[/snapback] You're not far off If it asks for you to register ID: greenlamp PW: lightbulb
Spun Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I recently re-read the USA Today NHL forecast for 2005-6. USA Today, like so many others predicted the Sabres to miss the playoffs primarily because they didn't bring in any big name free agents. It was a nice ride. Congratulations Lindy! The writers got it right!
