from John Vogl of the Buffalo News,
They figured once Ottawa broke a 2-2 tie in the final period Tuesday, a loss was inevitable.
“We haven’t dealt well with some adversity in games. I think guys got scared,” Ruff said Wednesday while replaying the 4-2 defeat to Ottawa. “They saw a loss coming again, and we got on our heels, and it’s tough to pull out of that.”
It’s little surprise the Sabres folded in the third period of a tie game. They are among the NHL’s worst in that situation.
The Sabres have been tied entering the final period 14 times. They have earned points in just six, a percentage of .429. The only teams below them are Colorado (.412) and the New York Islanders (.400), who happen to be dead last in their respective conferences.
