Imagine if the first coach fired in the playoff drought is the one who gets us out of it

[@JSZ0729]

Rewinding to 1999 man I love it

[@bdonaghu]

"Alexa, play 'Better Days' by the GooGoo Dolls!"

[@lovinglife8854]

Hell yeah!! Welcome back to Buffalo dude!!! We got this now!

[@PvtCaboose37]

Let's go Lindy, whip them into shape! Let's get that cup!

[@Dilly_Dilly_Dale]

FINALLY! ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE

[@guarantweed]

Wish he never left. Welcome Home Lindy

[@oNeGiAnTLiE]

This move definitely sells the most tickets! Welcome back Lindy! Kick some young ass man!

[@oNeGiAnTLiE]

Lindy always gave a great game performance as player or coach! Good luck Sabres. I think this is the best guy! Born on same day in 1960 as myself!

[@nevadaxtube]

Better than Granato. I'm reminded by the old adage, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Good luck Lindy.

[@buffalowinter61]

WOW, its awesome having Head Coach Ruff back in the fold, now he can finish what he started and bring us the Cup!

[@sabrethemoment6799]

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT THATS WHY HES THE MVP THATS WHY HES THE GOAT THE GOAAAAAAAT

[@bherylkuebler986]

Love this! Welcome home,Lindy.

[@BruDogger21]

We’re going back in time! First came the goat head, then came Ruff!

[@williamfurdyn5334]

Finally a good move by the Sabres. Now to take a sledgehammer to this roster and straighten this thing out.. hopefully!

[@grumpyscott17]

Hopefully the safe choice is the right choice for once. 🤞Great opportunity for an up and coming assistant to join Lindy’s staff. If everything goes well it could be a smooth transition in a few years. Welcome back Lindy.

[@KHoltzie]

I’m gonna be going to a lot more games next year now that he’s back behind the bench as bench boss-put me down for at least a 10 pack! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bjarczyk]

Let’s end this 13 year nightmare and finish what we started. End the playoff drought. End the cup drought!

[@KHoltzie]

I just wish RJ was still here…all of this just doesn’t seem right without him and probably never will! 🕯️

[@craiglamb2132]

Berube or Gallant would have been better imo, though should be an improvement on Donnie Meatballs. Hopefully will bring in some decent assistant coaches who can sort out PP, faceoffs etc

[@petehutchins7062]

and TOUGHNESS

[@jjmadoublen7375]

Lindy!!!!!!!🎉❤😊

[@ericlamoureux6588]

So pumped! LFG!!!

[@SalemXIII]

Time to kick some ass and take names!

[@johnmcnaught7453]

Love it !

[@liamatkins452]

Not sure what to think. First heard about the Sabres in 2006, something my teacher will always rave about. Times have changed though. Not sure what he will do. Not being negative, just don’t want to get my hopes up.

[@thomasl6405]

Nostalgia or not, This is what we needed. LETSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@realdealprimer]

Lalalalalalala Lindy Ruff 🎉🎉

[@Sabres1970]

Pumped upppppppppppppppppp

[@michaelsanicola3318]

Awesome !!!! Great News !!! Lindys a legend and will bring a Stanley Cup to Buffalo !!!!

[@geo_animalvideos]

Welcome back Lindy! Let's take the next step! And buyout Skinner!

[@danb5328]

For everyone saying he's an old coach: we have the new talent skill and speed, what we need is old school grit and accountability.

[@aaa7189]

I bet Ruff will get owen no power to check someone

[@nestoriancalvin4071]

no excuses now.

[@Hackfilms1]

LINDDYYYYY

[@scottodell4371]

And in totally unrelated news, the Buffalo Bills have hired Wade Phillips as their new head coach. (Sarcasm, guys, just making a funny…)

[@sauce2000]

Either going to be GENIUS.. or...AWFUL .. I'm just glad they did something.. Welcome back either way Coach!!!

[@sesnapapa]

Come on... the Plante goals against Ron Tugnutt should not be in this video, as that was Nolan.

[@pablobarosa27]

Hit fits the job requirements whether or not he coached here before. He commands the respect of the fanbase. Lock the Norris up for Dahlin next season.

[@PlumpHotdog]

No. He doesn't. To those of us that understand hockey, he is and always has been, a terrible coach. Missing the playoffs 7 of 15 years and getting bounced in the 1st round 3 of the 8 you made it is a joke. His system is garbage and antiquated and hasn't worked in 20 years.

[@ccink3931]

Bring back Hasek at this point too while we are at it, least we can have fun watching the games again lol

[@chrisbliss7]

Back where he belongs, Darcy should have gone, not Lindy! The curse is over!

[@dannyt564]

echo. Play Better Days by the Goo Goo Dolls

[@rf3495]

Great. Now the Bills can bring back Wade Phillips

[@darrenziolkowski974]

LFG

[@tommyc12159]

Bring back Prime Hasek too 😂

[@KHoltzie]

…now all we gotta do-is sign Kuznetsov in the off-season, and will be all set! 😏🙏🏻😏

[@johndcornell6341]

Didn't he just get fired???

[@mclovin8847]

Putting a band aid on it

[@lloydmarshalljr1951]

Sorry, but this is the wrong hire. Kevyn Adams should've taken some time, done a thorough review concerning the coaching candidates, and then hire someone who can put this team on the path to WINNING the Stanley Cup. He had a chance to really go after Craig Berube, Joel Quenneville, Rod Brind'Amour, and even Claude Julien. No; he chose to "play it safe" and go with "nostalgia" and "familiarity." (Had he gone with Coach Q, I would've seriously considered jumping back on the Sabres bandwagon after rooting for Chicago all these years because of Buffalo product Patrick Kane.) Well, here's what I say about this... I give him *only three(3) seasons* to win the Stanley Cup; nothing less is acceptable. If he fails to win it all within the next three seasons, he's GONE like all the others who came since his time. I'd like to be proven wrong, but I sense this will turn out to be yet ANOTHER story about professional sports in Buffalo -> *opportunity MISSED!*

[@jamesfisk2758]

Why?

[@Zobrisdj01]

He led NJ to their highest win total EVER just last year.....thy had HORRIBLE goaltending and a bunch of injuries. Hes a GREAT choice.

[@jamesfisk2758]

@@Zobrisdj01 So what, win totals are not what counts, cups matter. He's never won anything. I'll gladly eat crow if I am wrong.

[@mortaljorma69]

A nostalgia trip wich will doom this team.

[@sergoogle5061]

Yes!

[@PoofyFancyPants]

what?

[@altobalk]

🔄🤦‍♂

[@ihaveabrain1566]

What an absolute joke. Proves no real coach wanted to get near this tire fire. Kevin your next

[@rossmaurer7347]

Ridiculous decision

[@KevinHandsl]

idk man i wanted rod brind'amour

[@chrismdb5686]

Why in the world would be leave his dream job in Carolina to coach this tire fire?

[@hockeyteeth]

This is pathetic.

[@buffmf]

Welcome back Lindy! Help us win again.
