Surging Buffalo Sabres starting to bring back memories of the franchise's success of 20 years ago

It was reunion week in Buffalo, offering Lindy Ruff an opportunity to reminisce about the franchise’s memorable past, and provide a glimpse into what could well be a bright future. Among the laughs and stories the Sabres’ winningest coach shared with members of the 2005-06 team, and the bottle of Russian vodka he received from Maxim Afinogenov, Ruff couldn't help but draw a connection to his current roster. “You heard Danny Briere talk about the team and how it came together,” Ruff said of the former co-captain and now-Flyers general manager delivering a message over a highlight-reel montage celebrating the past and broadcast on the video scoreboard on Thursday night.
