In Friday morning (February 22) press conference, former Sabres coach Lindy Ruff thanked the current and past owners of the team, the players and, of course, the fans.
Buffalonians are nice. Too nice. We tend to accept all people, no matter their flaws. I’m not 100% on this, but I’m pretty sure this is why our sports teams are suffering so badly.
Now, I’ve never been in charge of a sports team, but I know if I did as poor of a job as some players, coaches and GMs, I’d be unemployed...
Just because the Sabres are stinking up the joint, doesn’t mean head coach Lindy Ruff doesn’t deserve to be inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.
