Sabres pound Leafs [7:54 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '“I think it’s something we definitely talked about before the game,” Pominville said. “We wanted to be hard on the puck; we wanted to be hard on the forecheck, which I thought we did.”'

Hecht fights out of doghouse [7:53 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '“Just based on how you’re playing,” Ruff said of his decision to sit Hecht early. “Based on the way he started last game, which was poor. I just think sometimes you have to take a step back and evaluate yourself and say, ‘Boy, I got to be better. If this team’s going to be better, I have to be better.’ “In Jochen’s case, in talking with him, he agrees,” he said. “He’s never gone through something like this.”'

Sabres return C Gerbe to Portland [5:47 PM]

Gerbe Goes Down [3:12 PM]
WGR-AM reports: '"The make-up of the lines with him not being in the top-3, it's not a position for him to be playing. I had a good discussion with him. I think his game has a ways to go but he did a lot of good things. His energy that he brought to the game was a real good thing for us."'

Sabres employ call and response [6:31 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"There wasn't much to dislike," Ruff said. "It was a big improvement from the other night."'

Hecht gets the message after his ice time shrinks [6:30 AM]

Points finally come for Roy [6:29 AM]
Niagara Gazette reports: 'While he’s happy with the honor, he’s more excited with the effort Buffalo put forth two nights after one of their worst showings of the season. “We had a closed door meeting after the game and decided it doesn’t matter if you’re 5-foot-6 or 6-foot-5, everyone had to battle hard,” he said.'

Miller still perfect on penalty shots [6:28 AM]
Niagara Gazette reports: 'Miller’s streak started on March 25, 2006 when he stopped Boston’s Travis Green.

Sabres shooting for consistency [6:27 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"We haven't been able to separate. That's the disappointing part. We'll win a game and follow it up with a tough (loss). We haven't played well at home (10-9-2), which has been a bone of contention. We've played better hockey on the road and hopefully, we can continue that."'

Sabres answer Ruff's call [6:26 AM]
Toronto Globe & Mail reports: '"It's funny, I didn't hear the [Ruff] interview after the game. ... I know he said our best players weren't our best players and I totally agree with him," Roy said.'

Buffalo 4, Toronto 1 [6:22 AM]
The Sports Network reports: '"We got everybody on the same page tonight," said Roy. "We were skating hard and moving the puck well. We came out in the second and kept working hard. As a team we have to step up and play hard and I think we did that tonight."'

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]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Sabres visit the Toronto Maple Leafs in Air Canada Centre tonight, and they’re hardly in a festive mood. On-ice woes are plentiful, the home fans are irate and questions are mounting about everything from ownership on down. But last year . . . ah, last year was a treat.'

Slough tough on Ruff [5:06 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"It's disappointing, it's frustrating and hard to hide from," Ruff said after his team's latest setback, a 4-2 home loss to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.'

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.'
