Can't believe Bruin fans aren't screaming

For those who missed the Game last night between Buffalo and Boston, the end of the game showed just how classless Lindy Ruff really is.

With Buffalo up 2 at 6-4, the Sabres scored an empty netter with about 20 seconds remaining in the game.  So what does Ruff do?  He calls his time out to more or less rub it into the Bostons players face. 

Now I'm not a Boston fan by any means and those on this board knows I give with their fans as good as I take, However, this was such a classless act, that I hope the next game between the 2 is shown on NHL Network or NBCSports network so I can watch Boston pound the Sabre players down.  Boston should be out for blood and targeting not Smith or Ott but Vaneck and company not because they are bad guys and I want the to get hurt, to show Lindy if he wants to be such an ASS then he can lose his best players for the night.  If I had been a Buffalo Player I would have raised hell in the locker room after the game.

This game is hard enough without a coach trying to show up a team with such a classless act.

Didn't see it, but from what I read, he called time out to get his star players off the ice, because the B's had their enforcers out there. If that is the case, then I see no problem with it. Ruff is definitely fighting for his job this season and wouldn't want to risk losing a star player in garbage time because someone decided they would try to lay one out on Vanek or someone. I saw it last year in a Flyers vs Pens game at the end of the regular season. Briere was still on the ice when the game was in hand and a Pens play knocked him on his ass.

why would he even have them out there in the 1st place? as for the Bruins enforcers, I think it was Lane Mcdermid, Gregory Campbell, and Chris Kelly.

Not screaming because this is what I expect from Lindy Ruff. 

Fly,

I hope you don't believe Lindy on that one.  The Sabres had just scored so he could make a line change afterwards and get his players off the ice if that was what he was worried about.  No he is a classless individual and this was just one more of his classless acts, IMO.

Ruff isn't classless for ****s sakes man.



if anything the man is a saint for staying in that town. 

I see where you guys are coming from and you are right Matty, he shouldn't have had them out there in the first place. Trust me, I have no love lost for old Lindy, he has made stupid comments about the Flyers in the past. I am just trying to see it from both sides here. I mean this is the Sabres we are talking about. They allow Miller to get run down and nobody has the sack to face up to Lucic. Lucic is a tough SOB, but you gotta at least nut up and take an ass beating to show that you aren't going to be pushed around.

just watched it again. 

i don't see what the problem is.


boston wanted to fight.

that's what they got.

now Thronton can take a seat at the clinic.


double fail for beantown.

SisterRay,  Thorton took his beating in the 1st and was out for the game,  Lindy pulled his stunt with 20 second left in the game, after an empty net goal made it 7-4 Buffalo.  He is a classless Dick of an individual period and I hope the Sabres never win again with him behind the bench.  And the next time they play boston I hope Chara hits one of his 100 MPH plus slapshot into the Sabres bench and hits Lindy upside the head.  Then afterwards he can say he was just trying to clear the puck.

it's hockey. he pulled his people out...

why did he do that?


answer that question.  

Seems like the right thing to do, imo. Having that punk Marchmand call out Ruff after the game is classless. What Ruff did was continue to coach the game all the way until the end of it.

It's hockey, they just scored, he can make a line change and put all his goons on the ice for the last 20 seconds. So why did he cal the Time Out?


Answer that Question

 And the next time they play boston I hope Chara hits one of his 100 MPH plus slapshot into the Sabres bench and hits Lindy upside the head.

i think we can all agree on that. 

Killer, if Lindy did that to the Pens, you'd of had a thread started before the end of the game.  What he did wasn't to continue to coach, but to try to show a team up.  He forgets he has to play them again before the season is over. 

Why would I start a thread? I think it's a non issue. If Ruff puts Scott out there for the face off his gets blasted for trying to start something. Now he puts a line out there and and reacts to the Bruins putting Lane MacDermid so he take a time out to adjust to the situation. No big deal. I don't honestly don't see why it would be.

Answer that Question

maybe you should try this: 


why DIDNT Ruff just put his GOONS out there for the last 20 seconds of the game prior to time out?


lol


because... he just wanted the game to end.

and he KNEW that there was a GOOD CHANCE in that kind of BLOWOUT in Boston that the Bruins would WANT to take a peice of the Sabres with them. 

Said Bruins coach Claude Julien on the timeout, again via NESN: "I don't know. I don't know why he took it. I really don't know. He's entitled to it, so you just play along with it. He might have thought something was gonna happen, which wasn't. But that's probably for him to answer. I don't know.”


Lane MacDermid was on the ice. the underlined part of Claude's comments is what hits home with me. 


sorry, i don't see it as classless. 


Lane MacDermid was on the ice. 


Lindy just did the math. 

 And the next time they play boston I hope Chara hits one of his 100 MPH plus slapshot into the Sabres bench and hits Lindy upside the head.

i think we can all agree on that. 

right. if it's a problem and there are hurt feeling then deal with it. 


they wanted John Scott. plenty of games left for that.

i agree with this d-bag pens fan. 


 

Well, all I can say is that is why Buffalo never has and probably never will win anything,  IF they keep classless individuals Like lindy in the coaching positions and then their fans are too blind to understand what rubbing someones nose in it is about. 

Maybe that is why Jim Kelly is now a Carolina Hurricanes Fan. 

i don't get it. 


Lindy has had half talented patchwork rosters to work with for decades it seems. 


he was a hard nosed player, back in the days of real hockey. 

Seems like the right thing to do, imo. Having that punk Marchmand call out Ruff after the game is classless. What Ruff did was continue to coach the game all the way until the end of it.

I agree with Killer.   Marchand really needs to shut up unless he's gunning for JR's spot at NBC down the road. 

Other things to consider:

• Scott was already dressed, isn't the reason to deter people?
• MacDermid was on the ice and isn't really there to play much hockey.    I can't blame with for making sure somebody wasn't getting run.
• After playing the part of speedbump last year, maybe Ruff was sending a message to his team that he's looking out for them.  If it was just to appease Miller, nobody can fault him there, nobody wants to hear him whine again.  

why would he even have them out there in the 1st place?

It's hockey, they just scored, he can make a line change and put all his goons on the ice for the last 20 seconds. So why did he cal the Time Out?

This is where Ruff should get hammered.   He must have lost track of the score or the time, there was no reason for those players to be on the ice.    That was a  mistake and he should get hammered for that.    To his credit, at least he recognized the mistake and corrected it.    Ruff was a fool for having that line out there but he was not a fool for calling the timeout.   

I don't like Ruff much, and I like the idea of a puck catching him.    I usually hammer a coach more for failing to fix a mistake when they have the opportunity.
