Bob Essensa on the possibility of losing his job to Mika Noronen
(from the Associated Press, 12/14/01)
The Sabres have been outscored 12-6 during the losing streak, which motivated coach Lindy Ruff to recall goaltender Mika Noronen from Rochester of the AHL on Tuesday.
Ruff has been unhappy with the play of Martin Biron and his backup Bob Essensa, and said Noronen could play before he is returned to Rochester.
``We know the logistics of things,'' Essensa said. ``If you're not getting the job done, whether it's Mika or Joe Blow, he's going to be called in to pick up the slack.''
