Sabres Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Lindy Ruff's demands and threats seem to be having a pronounced effect on his team. Since throwing his club—and specifically centers Derek Roy and Jochen Hecht—under the bus following an uninspired loss to Washington at home on Tuesday, Ruff has seen the Sabres play two strong games in wins over Toronto on Thursday and Boston on Saturday afternoon.
The win against the surging Bruins was particularly impressive and showed the Sabres just what they need to do in order to beat a top-level team. Buffalo displayed a tenacious work ethic and paid attention to details against a team that hadn't lost at home in 14 games. "We had a lot of guys locked in," Ruff said. Ruff has already taken some ice time away from Hecht and won't be afraid to do the same to...
