Sabres Affected By Tragedy

Blogger: Vance
On an altogether different note and tone that usually goes on around here, we're sending out our best wishes, hopes, and prayers to the victims, their families, and the City of Buffalo, after the plane crash that occurred last night in the suburb of Clarence Center.

Buffalo News has a pretty scary article about the situation, and how the Sabres were affected by it. Patrick Lalime's brother in law ran inside after he saw the plane coming down. Teppo Numminen was in bed, heard the plane, and saw the flames rising out of the air. Simply put, it's an awful situation.

Lindy Ruff pretty much says it best.

"It's an incredibly sad day for our city and we've talked about it that this is going to reach and touch a lot of people," said Ruff, who lives a couple of miles from the site in Clarence. "You've got to get through it. It's an area where a lot of us live. Everybody is going to know somebody that's touched by this. It's a tough day for Buffalo. First and foremost, it's all about the families of the people that were lost and all our feelings go out to them first. When it comes to something like this, it's a tremendous tragedy."
