‘As noble as that is, though, we know Ruff can’t do it on his own. Clearly, so do the Sabres, who held a full-team meeting — with owner Terry Pegula present, according to our Elliotte Friedman, and injured captain Rasmus Dahlin there as well — instead of a practice at the Bell Centre Monday. Sources indicated the message was to stick together and solve the issue as a group. We’re inclined to believe them based on the players emerging from that meeting light and loose before beginning preparations for an off-ice workout.’
