    Sabres players, Ruff shaken by tragedy

    Among the eyewitnesses to the crash of Continental Flight 3407 were several members of the Buffalo Sabres, who reported for their morning skate today in HSBC Arena still shaken by what they saw and heard Thursday night in their suburban neighborhood.

    The Sabres meet the San Jose Sharks, the top team in the National Hockey League, tonight at 7:30 and the game will be played as scheduled. Several members of the team live in Clarence Center and the nearby Spaulding Lake subdivision in Clarence.

    "I heard the plane coming," defenseman Teppo Numminen said. "I was in my bed and I heard it and thought it sounded really weird, really close to us. Then I heard a little poof afterwards and I was thinking, "That doesn't sound good, doesn't sound right.' So I looked out of my window and I saw the red sky and I knew something was wrong."

    Wow.

      Ruffs brother died in a plane crash, back when he was a player. im sure if anyone could help the players get over the shock of the unfortunate incident from thursday night it would be him.... and yes spaulding lake is near the crash site, but not near enough that they would have been able to see or hear anything from their homes
      RIP Tommy D!
