‘Lindy Ruff’s crew is 1-2 vs the Islanders this year and he said, “I warned the team Friday, I think they’re a good offensive team and they have some really good, young, talented forwards, we saw it in the games we’ve played ’em, they’ve got good team speed and Friday night’s game got ugly in a sense that, I think right now where teams are at, you see some emotion in games now, it’s that time of the year so you’re surprised the goals got up to where they got, but I’m not surprised they’re scoring and you have to treat that team with a lot of respect.” In their last four games the Islanders have scored 21 goals. The Sabres have netted 16 in three games.’
