There are a lot of things wrong with this team. At times they lack maturity on the ice. They make the wrong decisions. Buffalo has also been very inconsistent throughout the season. At times the Sabres lack the gritty, tough players that win the battles in the corners, as well as in front of the net.

'The Buffalo Sabres gave a clinic Wednesday night on how to become the 12th team out of 15 in the Eastern Conference.'

'"We go out and work hard, but when we have any type of adversity, we let it bother us."'

'Buffalo goalie Martin Biron circled as if to play the puck out to the opposite side from Keane, but the puck hit an edge on the boards and ricocheted out to the slot. Biron was behind the net. Keane was in front.'

'"It's 2-0 and it looks like it's not tonight but we got a fortunate bounce and we've been getting some breaks along the way," Quenneville said.'

'Miroslav Satan had both goals for Buffalo, scoring shorthanded and on the power play to open a 2-0 lead in the first period. But the Sabres could not hold on and lost for the third time in four games.'
