Buffalo, NY – After a wild weekend of hockey, the Buffalo Sabres took a break from practice Monday to relax and enjoy two big wins.
The Sabres advanced to the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday when they beat the New York Rangers. The team now set to take on the Ottawa Senators. Coach Lindy Ruff met with reporters at H-S-B-C Arena yesterday to talk about this next round.
You may recall, it was Ottawa's Chris Neil who blindsided Sabres co-captain Chris Drury during the regular season with a hard hit to the head. And during last year's playoffs, there was the tough hit on Tim Connolly that put him out of play. But Ruff says when it gets to this point, your excited about playing whoever makes it.
The first game against Ottawa will take place at H-S-B-C Arena. Ruff says playing on home ice does make a big difference. Ruff says this next round could make for an unbelievable Sabres playoff series.
