matter2003 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Ruff has gone 8-2 when he opens a playoff series on the road in the first game, for a sparkling 80% win ratio...I dunno why its so high, but I like the fact that it is!! Obviously he does a great job getting his teams mentally prepared for winning that first game on the road, but unfortunately his record in game 2's on the road is a less than stellar 3-7... Hopefully they can pull an "Ottawa" of '06 when they won both games to take a commanding 2-0 lead en route to a 4-1 series win...
DumbPuck Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I say they pull a "Buffalo" of '11 instead and shock us all by breaking all precedents and statistics... go all the way and win us a cup. But that's just me...
eball Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Ruff's made no secret of the fact he enjoys the "bunker mentality" of starting a series on the road, away from the distractions and comforts of home. Given the way Buffalo has had to be in "playoff mode" for the past two months, I can't think of a better way to start this postseason than by going into Philly and stealing their cookies.
