BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Sabres coach Lindy Ruff and general manager
Darcy Regier aren't going anywhere.
The team announced on its Web site Friday that both will be back
for next season despite the Sabres missing the playoffs for a
second year in a row. The decision came less than a week after
Buffalo completed its regular season by finishing 10th in the
Eastern Conference for a second straight season.
Sabres managing partner Larry Quinn told The Associated Press
that the team decided to keep both after meeting with Ruff and
Regier this past week.
Ruff, who completed his 11th season and is the team's winningest
coach, is signed through next season. Regier, who completed his
12th season as Sabres GM, is signed through 2011.
