My Take
Lindy Ruff strikes me as the embodiment of lifelong hockey devotion. From tiny Warburg, Alberta, he played the game and then spent decades coaching it, earning the Jack Adams Award in 2006 during his long first stint with the Sabres. What I find compelling is his durability behind the bench, leading Buffalo, Dallas, and New Jersey before circling back to where it all began. That return feels less like nostalgia and more like a man whose identity is inseparable from the ice. I have real respect for figures who give an entire life to one craft, and Ruff clearly has.
