Ruff Makes His Point

Apr 6, 2008 NHL

The Buffalo Sabres ended their season on a high note, shutting out the Boston Bruins 3-0.  Jocelyn Thibault got the shutout, and Thomas Vanek (thanks to some unselfish play from Derek Roy) had all three goals for the natural hat trick.  Coach Ruff had the team playing a boring, defensive game to make a point - every team can win like that, but they don’t want to do it.  I certainly enjoy the outstanding offensive plays for the past few years, and am okay with the only shutouts being the ones where the goaltending is awesomely good.

I’ll have a complete rundown of my thoughts on the season in a few days.  Oh, and congratulations to Teppo Numminen on his return to the ice!
