Buffalo, NY – Lindy Ruff may not be from Western NY but his story follows the same arc as so many from the area. Lindy played most of his NHL career for the Buffalo Sabres and got his first Head Coaching job with the team, and just like any artist or athlete from the area, he left the state in search of a better brighter future that never came.

Now Lindy is relocating back to Buffalo and reporters from The Innerloop Blog have found that he is actually moving into someone’s childhood bedroom in Hamburg to get the “authentic Western NY experience.”

Ruff plans to settle back into the rhythms of suburban life and hopes to avoid anyone he used to know while shopping for groceries or getting gas. According to sources close to the coach, “if he has to talk about how much better the weather was in Dallas or how much more he had to pay for things in New Jersey, he’s going to quit the coaching altogether.”
