There's something you might not know about Devils head coach Lindy Ruff. The man wins at everything. Everything.
Whether it is a game of ping pong, darts, pool, you name it.
"Lindy is an awesome guy. I learned that he's an incredible athlete," assistant coach Mark Recchi admitted to the Speak of the Devils podcast. "He kicks our butt in everything we play him in.
"Ping pong, cornhole, any game we play. Shuffleboard. He's a good golfer. Plays righthanded and lefthanded, which crazy. He hits righthanded with his drivers and has two lefthanded wedges."
Other than demonstrating his athleticism, Ruff has also tutored his staff. Recchi has also learned a lot about the game of hockey and the art of coaching under Ruff's mentorship.
"I learned a lot from Lindy," he said. "He's been around the game for a long time. … It was a great experience. He's got a terrific sense of humor. He has a great hockey mind. He's very sharp. It was a lot of fun."
