This happened because Lindy neutered his team and alllllll the energy they had was ripped away by him telling them to "do nothing". Your facts be damned, you tried to falsely claim yesterday it was already 4-3 and that's why Buffalo couldn't retaliate. Forcing the team to back down almost cost them the game. It was an awful call and that isn't "narrative", it's just a fact.

Toughness can come from the players or it can come from the coaches. If the players have it, the head coach is deliberately shutting it down, this is based on his own words. Lindy Ruff was a mistake and keeping all the assistants was a mistake. I would clean how with the coaching staff.

The Buffalo Sabres completely deflated after that hit. They gave up a short handed goal on the insuing pp that you are claiming was so great, they almost lost. A Pyrrhic victory aka where you win but the cost was so great it doesn't matter. Having the coaches shutdown the players instincts to defend themselves is bad juju and exactly why Ruff and the rest of the coaches are unfit. Your premise is based on the faulty logic that a team with a 2 goal lead, again they had a 2 goal lead, would have lost if instead of having a 5min pp in which they gave up a short handed goal, a 3pp with another 2min of 4v4 would have cost them the game. Your premise is preposterous at best.

better bet your 401k now because it is about to take at least a 3-5% loss.

I won't be picking the jets because the Jets are going to lose at least 1 game a year to the Bills and Dolphins, if not 2. The Patriots actually have a QB now as well. If the jets start every year 0-3 essential with a good potential of being 0-4 or 0-5 then they will not be making the playoffs. If they do work this offseason my opinion could change.

Multiple webpages and datasets have been removed including an HIV dataset and the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey is broken in parts. "CDC staff have been told to RETRACT all studies submitted to journals (but not yet accepted) if they include the words “gender” or “pregnant people”." Welcome to 1984. It will only be getting worse.

What a bad faith response. The Sabres are up 4-2 and would have played 2 mins at 4v4 at worst if they retaliated. Also, shows you secretly have no faith at all in this team if you automatically assume they would have lost by responding. Also also, by castrating his team, Ruff almost did lose this game as any energy they had died. They were abysmal on the 5v4 and gave up a shorty. Pyrrhic victory. The players did react in a manner that jeopardized the win.

Pyrrhic. Victory.

I'd agree. There are other of players I'd pick before him. Desnoyers, McQueen, Eklund, Bear

They have that lack of response because of him.

Omfg. Lindy Ruff told the team not retaliate so they could win. He said as much in the post game. Done. ***** done.

Yikes. That coaching staff has to go. And I disagree.

No he's not. They need multiple guys, not just a guy. It needs to be a team commitment.

No it's ***** not. Team toughness needs to come from everyone. It always has.

Hey Siri, show me an example of a Pyrrhic victory.

Samuelsson needs to be traded or bought out. Done with him.

Ruff needs to go too.

Fire every single coach. All of them. Ruff brings the energy of my grandpa.

These players should be getting screamed at by this coaching staff. But no one will do anything, ho hum. Just our best player being injured, who cares. Cowards.

Peterka out there figure skating

He's not in the game anymore Lindy sucks

And now Kulich is injured. Coaches stand there with their thumbs up their butts

Fact this team is playing hockey instead of running every single devil speaks volumes.

Entire line should drop gloves here and go after everyone on the ice but they don't

Everyone of the coaches should be fired. They have failed at teaching this team how to respond to that.
