'"It's nice to get a win and fun to play too," said Noronen, who lingered in the dressing room long after the victory. "I didn't know what to expect, but it was a good start anyway."'

'"The way I feel right now, there's no way I can help the team," said Dumont, adding that no single incident started the problem. "It's been awhile. It's been playable, but the past two days have just been tough, very painful, so we'll see how things go."'

‘Noronen made 20 saves and Henrik Tallinder scored with 4:21 left in the third period to help the Sabres beat the Boston Bruins 3-2 on Saturday night. “I’m happy for him,” Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. “It’s been a long time.”‘

‘”There are not a lot of times you get noticed for the little things but on two goals, (Vanek) did a great job of getting in front of the goaltender and our guys did a great job of getting it around Raycroft,” Ruff said.’

‘”I don’t think I’ve scored a game-winning goal here in the NHL,” said Tallender. “There haven’t been that many goals by me, anyway. Tom Vanek worked great there. And Chris Drury drew two guys to him. I just fired it and saw Tom was in front, and it went in.”‘

‘Thomas Vanek had two assists and now has 15 points this season, which is tied with Ales Kotalik for second on the team.’

‘With time winding down, less than five minutes remaining, Kalinin rips a shot from the point and catches the front of the net.’
