Love Lindy! So happy he’s back! There’s not one player on this squad from when he left. Fresh!

So he's in Buffalo to take over when Ruff either retirees or gets fired .

Night. And. Day. Feel like strapping them on myself. WELCOME HOME LINDY

The buffalo joke goes on and on

crazy good release quick reflex and good skater he will get tons of goals the next years to come

Who else lives and loves Buffalo

Just a strange feeling we make the playoffs for the first time in years and we get past round 1 and the fans come back

Welcome back Lindy! It feels so good to have him back. If he does it right with the roster next season they'll finally be back in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

sabres are destined for another year of failure. just like the bills never winning Superbowl. bet on that

Lindy is shaking the Dust Off I ❤️it

So stupid not to let Lindy hire his own staff. He said he wanted to put together the best assistant coaching staff in the NHL. You’re telling me he just so happened to think that the 2 coaches already under contract here were the best available candidates? Guys he didn’t even know until a few weeks ago. And that the only outside voice he wanted to add was Seth Appert (who he said he didn’t even know existed until a few weeks ago)? Then to add insult to injury, Appert gets to bring in an assistant coach (his video guy from Rochester), but Lindy doesn’t get to add a single coach to his staff? 🤬 Why does Buffalo always insist on doing things “their way” (aka: much differently than the best franchises)? Why not allow Ruff to hire the best staff he can, to set himself up for the best possible chance at success + to win now? Who cares about a succession plan in the NHL where there’s constant head coaching turnover. Appert wasn’t even on the radar of other NHL teams. I’ve never even heard him mentioned for an NHL assistant coaching interview let alone head coaching jobs.

Welcome back Lindy.

I love that he still remembers everyones names

Fix your roster Adams.

I think we are on the verge of greatness! The eastern conference is weakening. Several teams will soon be going into rebuilds and we are only getting started. We are going to get PRIME Lindy Ruff. He has evolved as a coach and wanted to come back for years. We are going to get his very best. He just listed out multiple things I was whining about all of last year. Not attacking the slot, defending in front of our net, backchecking, etc. With adjustments we will become dominant. The wait with this young team will be worth it. I want a team that will dominate for years and not just be a quick flash in the pan.

Appert is literally just Granato in everything he coaches. The Amerks powerplay and playoff performance were abysmal. This team is just spinning the wheels and we better have a couple good seasons under Ruff because that's going to be our only shot at winning before Seth takes over. These promotions (not hires) make the organization look like a joke and like Ruff had little to no say in selecting his own coaching staff.

Love Lindy but all are coaching staff holdovers. Ellis I'm fine with upstairs. Hope this isn't a move to Appert as Head Coach in the future.

Feels so good to have Lindy home!!! All is well with the universe now lol

Lol leave the league already. Sabres blue jackets senators coyotes contribute absolutely nothing to the league besides chronic losing. No fans. Please leave the NHL.

notice Lindy stressed checking. don't have to slam check but make it hard for an opponent to make that clean pass, shot

Not sure why Ruff was brought on to explain this hiring. It should've been Adams sitting there explaining why he thinks Appert is the coach of the future for this team and why he thinks sacrificing the chances of winning now is worth it in exchange for Appert learning on the job. Silly to have Ruff sit there and not have any better justification to hire him as the powerplay/forward coach than him having worked with some of the players in the past. Why they decided to cut down on 1 bench coach would've been interesting to hear as well, is it the cost cutting measure that we all think it is or did they think it was too many chefs in the kitchen last season? Though brining in the former head coach of some players wouldn't make sense if they wanted fewer chefs in the kitchen. Well well.

yada yada yada...if the team stays small forget about it. We need size in the bottom 6 and a face puncher as an extra forward

Like the in house promotion of Appert, now just need 2-3 players with some backbone and bite for the 3rd & 4th lines.

I heard a lot of excuses why this team has failed over the years and I just heard some more. I wonder if someone will ever say that the many of the current players aren't good enough to win a Stanley Cup. Recycled coaches and recycled excuses don't inspire confidence for me. Will anybody ever call out the dead weight on this roster?

Appert is a people person, and knows all the young players well. He helps offset Lindy's prickliness that will be necessary from time to time with the 20-something millionaires who haven't achieved anything. At the same time, Seth needed to be moved out of Roch. They need someone who emphasizes team defense and grit more, and installs Lindy's system. I think this is a smart move.

Get owen no power to hit and the D to stop watching the puck in their own zone

Marty needs to shut up!!!!!

Happy Birthday!

Do the Sabres fans a favor and please... Get rid of this video.

I feel like op’s favorite word is um 😅

Well, Sabers got boring again. Did no one see that the mastermind behind NJs success was Andrew Brunette?! This season NJ took three steps back from last year and Preds went to poffs against all odds because of Brunette. Buffalo would need modern couch in likes of Bednar or Cooper. I'm predicting that under Ruff Sabers won't see any elevation of success. He might be nice and "used to be good" but the "meh" in Buffalo will continue. I hope I'm wrong though for the sake of fans!

The Sabres need to focus if they want to make the playoffs next year

Was the first in line to have him booted back in the day, but also the first in line for this. Lets go Lindy! Lindy! Lindy!

LETA GO CRUNCH!!

A little less Met Gala…a little more focus on MAKING THE DAMN PLAYOFFS.

It’s nice that our young guys have been getting a taste of playoffs at this level in recent years to generate at least some excitement. I’m getting beyond tired of draft lotteries and hope next year we can follow suit with our AHL team.

I live in Buffalo, Sabres fan, would love to watch this Amerks game…. No where in sight on my tv providers …. If anyone has info, let me know …

Buffalo Sabers 🏒☝️#1👍🏻NHL 👍🏻

The cover on the amerks is HORRIBLE!!! AHL should be ashamed. Idek who’s winning it doesn’t show up when you search it up and why do paper view?! No one is gonna pay for each game put it on espn or flosports or something I want to watch and support my team.

Umm…. Ok? 😅

Gross

Shut your ass up jay jay your just mad go sabers Lindy back in town

JJ Peterka is amazing, we just need a miracle to be in the playoffs😊

Couldn't be more pumped for him next year

Good to have you back, sir.

Aura

Love that for her, it's so sweet!

Make the playoffs for her

Super nice gesture from the Sabres organization. Now if we can only surprise her by winning the Cup , let's hope!

Happy Birthday!
