‘“Maybe last year that would be a game we let a point slip away,” Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. There was a lot I liked about how we were playing in that third period. I mean, probably the goal we would’ve gave up last year would’ve been an odd-numbered rush, a 2-on-1 or something like that. … I think that part of the game has really changed, the high odd-man percentage rushes are missing and we’re becoming a team that knows how to still try to win but don’t make the egregious mistakes to lose.”’
