I get it. Some things are more important than hockey. But I don't think this bodes well for the Sabres and I wonder if any part of this decision is based on the Sabres past futility.
Does firing Ruff put 3 of our top 6 forwards back in the lineup?
Norris, Benson, Kulich, and Zucker were all out. Peyton Krebs was playing top line minutes. I don't think any NHL team is going to succeed with that many holes in the lineup.
