Ruff insists Sabres haven’t become stale

[rbochan]

BUFFALO – Like it or not, the Sabres have a stale perception around the NHL.

Coach Lindy Ruff and general manager Darcy Regier have been together more than 15 years without winning a Stanley Cup. Right now, after losing seven of eight, they’re barreling toward a second straight season out of the playoffs. They’ve missed the postseason six times in 10 seasons with much of the same personnel...

Maybe if we keep doing the same things over & over again, something will change right ??

Buffalo Sabres (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/teams/sabres/) (3-5-1)
I'm a Lindy Ruff fan, but honestly, you have to ask: Hasn't this guy overstayed his welcome? Nothing personal, but Buffalo's longtime coach doesn't seem able to light a fire under his players anymore. The Sabres play boneheaded, careless hockey too often, with major defensive breakdowns and little scoring from the bottom lines. Thomas Vanek --- leading the league with 19 points and on pace for 47 goals and 111 points -- can't do it all by himself. Buffalo's 33 goals-against is tied for most in the NHL. When does this team make a change behind the bench? Or does Ruff have the job for life? Last week: 1-2-1
