Preview: Lindy Ruff is still motivated to make the Sabres a winner
Description
Lance Lysowski and Mike Harrington hop the boards for the latest Ice Time podcast, discussing Lindy Ruff's first year back, the Sabres' goaltending issues and Jack Quinn's curious season.
The guys conclude that in their dealings with Ruff as of late, it's clear to them that the coach, who just earned his 600th win with the franchise, is still motivated to mold the Sabres into a winner. (Yet again: If it weren't for that 13-game winless streak ...) Lance and Mike, however, wonder what changes might be coming to Ruff's coaching staff in the offseason.
The guys then discuss the Sabres' goaltending issues — James Reimer started in net again Thursday, and the well-paid Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has a 3.60 goals-against average since the 4 Nations break — as well as Jack Quinn's disappointing season.
Finally, there's the small matter of Alex Ovechkin, his pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record, the Capitals' turnaround and the Sabres' visit to Washington next week.
