PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Call 'em the Broad Street Whiners.
At least, that's what Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff would label the Flyers after their bitter complaints about the officiating following Game 4's 1-0 loss.
Flyers captain Mike Richards, hit with a 5-minute major for elbowing Patrick Kaleta late in the second period, was the harshest critic after the loss that evened the first-round playoff series at 2-2.
Richards triggered Ruff's rebuttal when he said the Sabres are "allowed to get away with murder out there."
That was enough for Ruff.
He fired back at the Flyers on Thursday. He's tired of complaints about the officials.
"They're really doing a lot of whining. I didn't hear any whining when they had 10 power plays in Philly and I didn't hear any whining when the power plays in the first game were lopsided," Ruff said. "But all of a sudden, there's all this whining about, we're getting away with murder?"
