Lindy Ruff has been with his current team longer than 25 other NHL coaches, having been hired by the Stars June 21, 2013. And with eight of the 30 coaches hired since the end of last season, four years is a pretty good run by NHL standards.
If Ruff is coaching his last game with the Stars on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche, it's not that unusual. He's had four years, his contract expires at the end of the season, and Dallas (25th in the NHL with a 33-37-11 record) has fallen from the best record in the West last season to one of the worst this year.
