Archives for January 2002

Connolly emerging as bright young star for Sabres

'"Put aside the first month, Connolly has been a very solid performer for us," Ruff said. "And I think it's just the tip of the iceberg with the tools he's got."'

Sabres laying it on the line

'So why would you want to break up the line in the first place? "You have to do that sometimes just to keep things healthy," said Ruff.'

Sabres kid their 'Young Gun'

'The 18 stitches holding Connolly's upper lip together finally came out Wednesday, just in time for the Buffalo Sabres' playmaking center to fly to Los Angeles for the inaugural Topps/NHL YoungStars Game.'

Sabres demote Milley to minors

'Milley, who returns to Rochester of the American Hockey League, had one assist and averaged more than 12 minutes of ice time in three games with the Sabres.'

Sabres can't dress up tie in Carolina

'The Sabres and 'Canes each had scoring chances in overtime, but goalies Irbe and Martin Biron – both of whom had solid games – made the saves when it counted.'

Tribute night nearly right

'The result was just as disappointing, although it was certainly a substantially better effort than Saturday's 4-2 loss at the Philadelphia Flyers.'

Ron Francis Night

'The Hurricanes presented Francis with a cherry cabinet for all the commemorative crystals he has received — four of them and a silver plate came with it. He also received a golden hockey stick for joining the 500-goal, 1,000-assist club.'

Captain's choice

'It was the last of four regular-season meetings between the clubs this season, and Buffalo won the season series 2-1-1.'

Everything but a victory

'What undoubtedly troubled Carolina coach Paul Maurice was the fact the Sabres didn't come out before the game to watch the presentations to Francis. "It's not like this was some guy's 1,000th game or a truck giveaway," Maurice said. "I was very disappointed they didn't come out."'

Hurricanes 2, Sabres 2

'Francis has 108 career points against Buffalo — second-most of any opposing player.'
