Sabres hope to stop tossin’ and turnin’
‘”You gotta be hungrier than them. We gotta want the puck more than them. You have to want to be the best on the ice, better than the guy you’re facing, and I don’t think we have that attitude when we’re facing Ottawa.”‘
Some names in the game are no longer the same
‘Toni Lydman’s last name is pronounced “LEWD-man.” Henrik Tallinder’s is pronounced “tuh-LIN-der.” And Derek Roy’s surname is “roo-AH,” just as legendary goalie Patrick Roy would say it.’
Sabres vs. Devils
‘Sabres haven’t won two straight games since Oct. 20 and 22.’
Hall of Fame Class of 2005
‘The Buffalo Sabres will be inducting five new members in a pre-game ceremony on Tuesday night…’.
McKee practices, 6 out of 8, Max out, maybe Mika?
‘Ruff acknowledged things have not been easy for Noronen. “It’s been tough on him, extremely tough on him. We got to work through that”. The Sabres have not considered calling up Mike Leighton from Rochester, “haven’t gone there yet, not at all” Ruff said. Ruff also refused to name his starting goalie for tonight’s game, something Lindy has rarely done in his tenure in Buffalo.’
