Jedi Council

I will get straight to it. Hiring Lindy Ruff back as Buffalo’s head coach has not worked out. The team is on pace to finish about 8-10 points lower in the standings than last year. (84 last season) That 84 point total was 7 points off from Buffalo’s 91 points the year before that. A steady decline since missing the playoffs by a point. The falloff from 91 to 84 got Don Granato fired.
