Sabres coach Ruff injured in practice collision

‘”Right when I hit the deck, I knew there was no way I was getting up, and I was yelling, ‘Heads [up], heads, heads,'” Leopold said. “I knew he had his back turned to me and that ended up happening. … I think we’re lucky it wasn’t worse than it really is.”‘

In bizarre scene, Sabres coach Ruff breaks three ribs in practice

‘“I lost my breath,” Leopold said. “I was looking back right when it happened. I kind of yelled, ‘You all right, you all right?’ Right away, ‘No.’ So that wasn’t a good thing. I know Lindy’s a tough guy. He played a lot of years in the NHL and played through a lot of injuries.”’
