What will we write about after the NHL playoffs are over? For now let’s continue to focus on the positive.

Sabres head coach, the ever non-smiling Lindy Ruff, has been named as one of three finalists for NHL coach of the year. For now Lindy doesn’t really care but did mention that this is something that should be shared by his entire staff.

The other finalists are from the Rangers and from Carolina.

The award will be presented during the NHL draft in Vancouver.

Fun Sabres Fact: Ruff is the longest running active head coach in the NHL.
