Lindy Ruff's emotions have gotten the better of him at times this season. Look, its understandable. Losing is a painful process. Pain is weakness leaving the body.Today after practice in Chicago, Ruff opened up and spoke about digging his team out of the sink hole that it presently resides in.
Ruff also grabbed the back of Ryan Miller. The coach is right, one player does not a team make. It takes 12 forwards, 6 D, and 2 goalies to win a game in the NHL. The notion that this mess is all Miller's fault is laughable.

Pat Kaleta missed practice today in Chicago. He was ill in the late stages of the 5-0 loss in Detroit.

I'm a big fan of both Jeremy Roenick and Mike Keenan, however, I think they are off base in their assertions that Lindy Ruff and Ryan Miller must be made to pay the ultimate price for the failures of the Sabres on the ice this season.
Firing Ruff now does not change the team's course this season.Trade Miller? Not gonna happen.
Stick to being bombastic and "controversial", JR and Iron Mike.

South Buffalo native, Pat Kane, thinks Sabres fans are riding Ryan Miller too hard.
Kane defends his fellow Team USA teammate:
“I still think the fans get on Miller a little bit too much back in Buffalo. He’s definitely the guy there". “He’s not having the kind of season he wanted to and maybe things are getting caught up in everything back there.
“I think they can be a good team. They’ve got everything in place to do well. “

Moral victories: Losses in regulation by: WASH, WIN, TOR. PIT wins in shootout. Sabres still 7 points out of 8th place.
