Sabres Hecht demoted to fourth line [7:18 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '“I’m not a player who wants to be on the fourth line,” Hecht said before the Sabres bused here. “I think I’m better than that. It’s just been too many games where I didn’t play to my potential. Now I’ve got to prove again that I can be on the first two lines. It’s just that right now I’m not good enough.”'

For Sabres, Sometimes the truth does hurt [6:21 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '“We’ve got to demand out of each other more,” Sabres center Jochen Hecht said Wednesday. “We’ve got to be able to give the other guy a hard time when he’s not playing well, be able to tell him. It’s something that’s hard when you’re good friends, but usually you think if you’re good friends you would take whatever he says seriously. That’s what we’ve got to do, hold each other accountable.”'

A low-key New Year’s Day is on tap [6:20 AM]

Sabres can't bust the Caps [9:28 PM]
LetsGoSabres.com reports: ' went to last night's game. I left after the second period ended. With the Sabres of 2005-06 and 2006-07, I would have stayed because they could have pulled it out. But this team is different. They seem to be content with losing when they are down 3-0.'

Locker room revised [9:27 PM]

Top centers told to improve or sit [6:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '“We’ll take them out of the lineup. Some of them will come out. That’s not an idle threat, either. If you don’t want to compete, if Matt Ellis wants to compete harder and Adam Mair wants to compete harder, then we’ll play the guys that want to compete harder. Then they can make a decision if they want to compete hard. That’s the only fair thing to do.”'

Lackadaisical play continues to dog Buffalo Sabres [6:10 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"I thought our defense played well, but the effort by our forwards — you can take a couple guys out of there like (Adam) Mair, (Paul) Gaustad, (Matt) Ellis — but if Jochen Hecht isn't our best player and Derek Roy isn't our best player, we don't have a chance of winning. It's disappointing, frustrating, upsetting, and we're not going to hide from it."'

Sabres out of tricks, and it's early [6:09 AM]
Niagara Gazette reports: 'Buffalo got outworked, and simply looked outclassed. And it wasn’t just Alexander Ovechkin who looked head and shoulders above the Sabres.'
