‘”Everyone jokes that you hit everything on the ice and you probably hit everything on your way out of the arena. What’s behind that?”

Gaustad: “I don’t know, but I am getting in trouble. A lot of the guys don’t like me already like on Toronto. I gotta stop doing that. They’re gonna kill me. No, it’s been fun. I mean I just try to make the team and I gotta do what I gotta do.”‘

Return of Sabres puts money into many local pockets

'In all, local governments will pick up an extra $1 million in sales taxes, while the state government will see more than $3 million in sales and income taxes that disappeared because of the lockout, according to Sabres figures.'

‘Jokinen’s goal ruined what otherwise was a superb game by Miller, who had 39 saves. “Ryan just misplayed it,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. “You know we were in position to win the game before that, where we had several big chances in the third to put them away but we didn’t.”’

‘Jokinen skated in from the bottom of the left circle and used a wrist shot to get the puck past Ryan Miller, underneath his glove. The goal came while Jochen Hecht was in the penalty box, serving a hooking call.’
