Can Lindy Ruff Right Sabres Ship Before It's Too Late?

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran wonders if Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff can get things fixed with his ailing team before it's too late.

The Sabres haven't just lost consecutive games to Montreal in the playoffs to fall down two games to one but they've barely looked remotely competitive in doing so.  They've struggled in their own zone badly and haven't been much better in sustaining offensive pressure either. They've been lousy on faceoffs, taken far too many penalties and have had a host of poor individual efforts so far this series.

Patrick discusses the options Lindy has when it comes to the lineup and if he'll make some changes that seem needed, or will he continue to show confidence in a lineup that's quite frankly looking like fools gold.

All this said, not all hope is lost. Patrick explains how just putting one winning performance on Tuesday night, whether it's pretty or uglied up puts the Sabres right back in great position to take control of the series with home ice advantage. But the time is literally now, because if Buffalo loses game four Patrick feels this series is over.

That plus the Bills make a free agent signing and plenty more.
