Sabres' Teppo, Leino, Lindy speak in Finland

October 5, 2011 - 12:24 PM

HELSINKI, Finland -- After a long travel day that featured an 8 a.m. bus in Heidelberg, Germany, an 11 a.m. flight in Baden-Baden, Germany, a 2:30 p.m. arrival at Helsinki airport and a 4:30 p.m. (or so) practice, the Sabres are done for the day.

As expected, the folks waiting in Hartwall Arena were in the mood to chat with Finland natives Teppo Numminen and Ville Leino. Here are the English chats (they also spoke in their native tongue) plus Lindy Ruff's news conference.
