Thursday afternoon, a tweet from @marbar7890 alerted me to a list by AskMen.com ranking the Worst-Dressed NHL Coaches. AskMen contributor Crab Turner foolishly choose Lindy Ruff as his number 1 worst-dressed NHL coach. @BuffaloOutrage helped me recruit villagers to storm Castle AskMen, pitchforks and torches in hand. The Furious rating on AskMen’s First Impression meter rose from 16% Thursday afternoon to 88% at the time of this writing. Lauren Hall (@LaurenMarieHall), producer of Winging It! Buffalo Style (@WingingItTV), contacted Lindy Ruff’s Tie for a statement. You can watch Victoria Hong (@VictoriaHong4) and Amelia Segal (@AmeliaSegal) discussing it below at the 2:08 mark.

You may remember @CoachQsMustache from when I interviewed it back in January. The Sabres lost to the Blackhawks, 6-2, but I had some snappy comebacks to the ‘stache’s ribbing. Follow it for some of the best facial hair tips in the league.
Reminder: Proper way to shave your playoff beard requires a bagpipe solo & a case of Labatt’s. Show some respect.

Scott Michalak (@ScottyMCSS on Twitter) wrote an excellent post about the scrum goal that tied the game against the Toronto Maple Leafs last night over at Buffalo Sabres Nation. I called it “Inception-esque”, and promptly set about putting the video clip of the goal to “Mind Heist” by Zack Hemsey.
Last week, Don Burtless of Buffalo Eats (@BuffaloEats on Twitter) contacted me about teaming up with @FakeDarcy to do a Buffalo Foodie article on their site. Click the link to find out what kind of food stains I have to combat and where @FakeDarcy likes to dine and dash.

Ted Black, president of the Buffalo Sabres, was on The Howard Simon Show yesterday morning to talk about this year’s Fan Appreciation Night. The big news is that in addition to select fans receiving game-worn jerseys, one lucky fan will receive Lindy Ruff’s game-worn tie. Mr. Black mentioned the Lindy Ruff’s Tie website and Twitter at 15:39. Click “Continue Reading” to listen for yourself.

As we celebrated a 2-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on March 26, 2011, Jessica Pegula (@JLPegula on Twitter) solicited ideas for the celebration of her father’s birthday the next day. I proposed a birthday singalong flashmob. Eventually, @ScottyMCSS jumped on board and helped spearhead the movement. The result:
