Doing his best in "do-over"

'"I'm not the same as I was when I was 25 or even 29," says the now 35-year-old. "I get about 25 minutes a game, not 30 or 35 like when I was younger. That's about right. I play on the penalty killing units now too and that takes a lot out of you, you're moving all the time when you're doing that, but it's a part of the game and I like it."' … [Read more...] about Doing his best in “do-over”

Sabres face huge challenge in Mario & Co.

'The series should be a showdown between the NHL's best defense and its second-best offense. But the postseason is hockey's Bizarro World, and Buffalo's Jennings Trophy-winning "D" and Pittsburgh's stable of shooters did not star in the teams' respective six-game, first-round victories. Instead, the Sabres enter Round Two having scored a … [Read more...] about Sabres face huge challenge in Mario & Co.

Pens goalie may be up to a tall task

'Could Hedberg, at age 27, simply be a hero heretofore undiscovered, or a star late to rise?' … [Read more...] about Pens goalie may be up to a tall task

For Pens, reality has arrived

'The Sabres are certainly a good, tough team with a brilliant goaltender - but so was Washington. In fact, the Capitals and Sabres are so alike, there's no reason to think Pittsburgh won't be playing in the Eastern Conference Finals a fortnight from now.' … [Read more...] about For Pens, reality has arrived

Washington Observer-Reporter | Apr 25, 2001

Pens must deal with Sabres' Hasek

'"Everything's going to be tough with Buffalo," Straka said. "They just beat Philly, so they must be playing well. And (Dominik) Hasek's playing unbelievable. Their defense has been playing well for them, and they've got some offense. They scored a lot of goals, so it's going to be tough again."' … [Read more...] about Pens must deal with Sabres' Hasek

Penguins' second line regains its touch

Pittsburgh Post Gazette | Apr 25, 2001

Add Kasparaitis to list of heroes

'He did block five shots in Game 6. He blocked 13 in the series. He blocked two on one shift in the first period Monday night, including a blast by Jeff Halpern. He blocked a rocket by Peter Bondra in the second period. That one especially stung.' … [Read more...] about Add Kasparaitis to list of heroes

Penguins Report

'Washington's power play savaged the Penguins during Round 1, scoring seven times in 22 tries, and Buffalo's was even more lethal during its opening-round series, converting six of 18 chances against Philadelphia. That means the Penguins, who were guilty of some ill-conceived and unnecessary penalties against the Capitals, will try to cut down on those while … [Read more...] about Penguins Report

Pittsburgh Post Gazette | Apr 25, 2001

Hedberg ready for Hasek, Sabres

'"I don't think it's Hedberg's job to beat Dominik Hasek," defenseman Bob Boughner said. "I think he just has to make the big saves, like he did in this series, and give us a chance to win games. Everybody knows Dominik and how can just take the game away from you at times."' … [Read more...] about Hedberg ready for Hasek, Sabres

Pittsburgh Tribune Review | Apr 25, 2001

Second line scoring again

'Straka, Kovalev and Lang, the trio of gifted scorers who are second line only because they play on a team that also features guys named Lemieux and Jagr, had been largely silent in the playoffs until Monday night.' … [Read more...] about Second line scoring again

Pittsburgh Tribune Review | Apr 25, 2001

Besides Hasek, depth is Sabres' biggest asset

'The Buffalo Sabres cannot match the Penguins' firepower - few teams can - but they are one of the deeper teams around. That's one reason why Sabres goaltender Dominik Hasek is confident about this series.' … [Read more...] about Besides Hasek, depth is Sabres' biggest asset
