Visa problems delay Moore’s start with Sabres

Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff has already decided one of the two new players the team acquired Wednesday won’t be on the ice when the Phoenix Coyotes come to HSBC Arena tonight. Ruff is hoping the other will play but it’s no sure thing.
While the Sabres are fine with red-hot Patrick Lalime staying in goal and newcomer Mikael Tellqvist again serving as the backup, they certainly want Dominic Moore in the lineup. But Moore could not practice Thursday as the former Toronto Maple Leafs center and Sabres officials worked to iron out some visa issues.
Moore said he was confident they would be taken care of but Ruff was taking a more cautious approach.
“I have a concern until we get his visa,” said Ruff. “When it’s here, I won’t be concerned.”
