	Game On
		Ruff isn't on the ice as much as he normally would be because of the NHL lockout.
		Ruff's presence adds to the intrigue because three Robo players also are Sabres front office employees: Gilbert is director of public relations, Fisher runs the youth hockey program and Bill Wippert is the team photographer.
		Ruff wasn't involved in those transgressions, but he has gained a reputation as a dirty player - although he probably would call it gamesmanship.

	Sabre Rattling: Lindy Ruff
		Ruff's overall demeanor, wry candor and his ability to dish out the perfect one-liner impressed the hell out of me. Along with that his ability to extract the most out of his roster, even those who didn't like him, made me one of his staunchest supporters during these past few seasons...
		I never watched Lindy Ruff play hockey, or if I did when I was younger I don't remember it.
		But, I remember clearly that as I was falling in love with the sport for the second time in my life that process was inextricably bound to the image of him being behind the bench of the Hardest Working Team in Hockey.

	Lindy Ruff Crying Again... Waaaaahhh! - hockeyfights.com forums
		Two nights after Philadelphia's R.J. Umberger was knocked woozy by Brian Campbell's heavy but legal hit in Buffalo's Game 1 victory, the Sabres flattened the rest of the Flyers in an 8-2 blowout win Monday night.
		Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock took offense to Ruff's description after the Flyers took 17 penalties, including Denis Gauthier's ejection and Ben Eager's two misconducts when the play deteriorated as the Sabres built a 5-0 first-period lead.
		I understand this is probably the first time in a long time your Sabres and their fans can say anything other than, "We'll have to try harder next time." With that though Ruff should keep his trap shut considering he's the longest tenured coach who hasn't done crap.
