Injuries won’t deter Kaleta from keeping up aggresive style
Bill Hoppe | March 10th, 2010
Olean Times Herald reports: '“I put myself in a position to get hurt, whether it’s blocking shots or putting myself in a vulnerable position,” Kaleta said recently. “Sometimes that’s what you need to do. Sometimes it’s not the smartest thing you can do, but I’m a fearless player, so I don’t back off, or I don’t think twice about putting my face in front of a puck.'

Metro Community Newspapers reports: '“Whenever you’re on a little bit of a lull, it seems like it’s harder to crawl out and get those wins,” Mair said. “Bounces seem to go against you. We were able to find a way after being down 2-1 in the third. That was a big turnaround for us.”'

Leighton solves Flyers' problems in goal [3:16 AM]

Ruff wants his players talking the talk [3:50 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Part of our play in the first 30 games stemmed from puck support, knowing where people are at, hearing another guy's voice, leaving the zone under control and being a five-man unit coming out of the zone," Ruff said. "Watching the game again, I would swear that half the team had muzzles on. That makes it tough. When you're under pressure, the only thing you can trust is somebody's voice and the fact he has to be in a certain place."'

Sabres flat in loss to Caps [6:38 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '''“There wasn’t anything there,” Ruff said. “It’s my job to get them ready to play. We’ve got a day and a half to get ready for Philly (on Friday).

Ryan Miller shines in return; rest of Buffalo Sabres falter [4:04 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"It wasn't a very good performance," said winger Jason Pominville of Buffalo's second loss in as many nights post-Olympic break.

Sabres' homecoming night falls flat [3:38 AM]

Sabres fine-tune their roster [3:35 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"It's a good day because I think it's a statement about a few things," Regier said. "We like this group of players here.

He's something that we think fits into this group of forwards."'
