The Sabres played better in their zone in game 4 and skated back as a team. Vanek sat because he, unlike the rest of the team did want to take the body as well as the puck. He blew a play in our zone by just trying to swipe the puck past a guy, when he could of hit him and held him up enough. It cost us a goal as well as momentum, so Ruff figured the folks that want to to finish on a play will play. Those that don't can sit and watch, no more playing because you are X.
Those types of decisions lead me to believe that the Ruff will watch what everyone does and if they fail to perform on any shift, they sit and he gives them a chance and if they fail again they sit longer. I recognize the flaws and so does Ruff and he is acting accordingly. That will increase our chances and give us a much better opportunity to win, bench who will not work.
Goodluck looking back OP, that door is always open. It's the one in front of you that's going to close all too soon that's the real problem.
