Hedberg bothered by bad, ugly goals [4:48 AM]

Penguins Report [4:47 AM]
Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports: '"It's not just me. It's the whole team's confidence is growing," Biron said. "To hold Pittsburgh to one goal is really a great achievement, but it takes everybody. Our guys are keeping the other team to 20 or so shots every night, and they're giving me the chance to be aggressive against the shooter. That's how I'm comfortable, when I can come out after the shooter."'

Take me to your leader — Sabres seeking a catalyst [10:55 AM]
The Sabres Edge reports: While the Buffalo Sabres boast sound depth throughout their lineup, questions remain whether or not a single player will take the baton from Dominik Hasek and emerge as a true catalyst — a player they can consistently count on to win them games with a key goal, a big save or a smothering physical presence.

Sabres look to kick bad habits [9:14 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"It's falling asleep during the game," Buffalo defenseman Rhett Warrener said. "When you take a shift off, those shifts can kill you. The way the league is nowadays and how tight it is, any little mishap can be the difference in the game."'

Mariners may turn out to be role models for this season's Sabres [9:13 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Buffalo is loaded with young players who are approaching or within waving distance of their primes, and most of those primes are just starting. Yes, they are without their superstar, goalie Dominik Hasek, and one of the league's best defensive forwards, Michael Peca. But sound drafting through the last five or six years prepared for that. What we have now is the potential hockey version of baseball's Seattle Mariners.'

Wilson, Kasparaitis stroll down memory lane [6:35 AM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'The boos continued when Wilson would visit Buffalo in a different jersey, but he said things have simmered down. He admits that when he plays in Buffalo he wants to make the Sabres sorry they traded him, but he doesn't bear a grudge against the fans. "I grew up in Toronto, and I was all over every defenseman or every guy who ever played for the Leafs," Wilson said. "It's part of being a fan. You pay your money and get to voice your opinion. And they're paying all our salaries. They can say whatever they want. I don't ever hold anything against the people of Buffalo."'

Lemieux plans to play today [6:33 AM]

Consistency missing from Wilson's game [6:10 AM]
Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports: 'He even has fond words for his old employer and a Chamber of Commerce perspective on life in western New York. "The organization gave me a chance to come in and play my first [pro] year," he said. "Maybe some other place, I would have gotten buried in the minors or something. It's a great place to live. I think it's a pretty underrated place."'

Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports: 'The game today will be the first meeting between the Penguins and Sabres since D Darius Kasparaitis ended their second-round playoff series by burying a puck behind Buffalo G Dominik Hasek at 13:01 of overtime in Game 7. Hasek subsequently was traded to Detroit, and it might take the Sabres a while to adjust to his absence. "Hasek was half their team," Kasparaitis said. "It's going to be a big battle for our team, because we're struggling and I don't think they're playing their best hockey. Hopefully, the luck is going to change on our side."'

Hasek celebrates, but not much [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Hasek's English has never been perfect, but it's telling that, as he discussed the game, he often lapsed into referring to the Sabres as "my teammates." Hasek, 36, played in Buffalo for nine years and has been in Detroit for less than three months. He still has his old black Sabres helmet, the buffalo logos on each side covered with black tape, sitting on a shelf in his locker. Hasek has left Buffalo, but Buffalo has not left Hasek.'
