Why is Lindy Rough so tenured in Buffalo?

[guiner]

Its always been my impression that Larry Rupp has produced pretty good results with marginal talent because of low salary constraints.

Larry Rupp?

I guess you missed that the original poster and many subsequent replies have his name wrong...

On a related note, I wish Shero would have signed Mike Ruff last off-season.

Does anybody in Buffalo give a %#@* about hockey?

I'm serious. I don't know if they do or not. If they didn't, maybe that's why nobody cares that he's won nothing. If they DO care about hockey, then I have no answer.

Yes, people here do give a %#@* about hockey. And to top it off most Sabres fans I know around here want Ruff fired.

Buffalo is a very good hockey town.

Except they rely on Hamilton/the GTA to keep them afloat.

Maybe it's time for Lindsey Rup to go

Guess this is the shining example of big names don't = big success. Buffalo on paper looked to be real good this year. In practice not so much.

And What the F kind of name is Lindy anyways? You're a guy.

I wouldn't go that far.

I always thought of Ruff as a "1920's" coach, with the name Lindy Ruff and the big moustache

Lindy => Short for Lindsey => Can be male or female, apparently.
