Sabres focusing on getting a road win

'“We were a good road team,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. “We got to go out and win a road game. That would make a big statement. If you’re going to play a long way in the playoffs, you got to win road games.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres focusing on getting a road win

Facing elimination, Flyers turn to Forsberg

'"We got outplayed again," Forsberg told reporters after Game 5. "We're making a habit of not working. There's nothing to say about the way we played except we have to be better. I thought we came in here with momentum -- wow, we won the last games at home -- but we just aren't playing well enough up here to win games."' … [Read more...] about Facing elimination, Flyers turn to Forsberg

Sabres are out to finish the job

'Given the Sabres haven't figured out how to win a playoff game in Philly and the Flyers have won just once in their past 11 trips to Buffalo, it's reasonable to think the Sabres could be looking ahead.' … [Read more...] about Sabres are out to finish the job

Afinogenov is earning his wings

'We'll see how Afinogenov fares tonight back in Philly. If the Sabres are going to wrap up the series, their best players need to be their best players. They also need to be team players. Afinogenov is among the most electrifying players in the league, but his speed and puck-handling ability are useless unless they are harnessed.' … [Read more...] about Afinogenov is earning his wings

Hecht's condition an enigma wrapped inside a mystery

'Hecht casually strolled out of the Sabres dressing room and down the hall while some of his teammates took the ice for an optional practice Monday morning in HSBC Arena. He exhibited a sheepish look when he walked past a reporter, who asked for a moment of Hecht's time. "Nope," Hecht said, smiling but not breaking stride.' … [Read more...] about Hecht’s condition an enigma wrapped inside a mystery

Quest For The Cup Goes Back To Philly For Game Six

'"We haven't put in 60 minutes yet in Philadelphia. Two periods here and two periods there and we've had a bad period or had pockets in each game where we haven't played well," says Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff.' … [Read more...] about Quest For The Cup Goes Back To Philly For Game Six

After disastrous outing, Buffalo netminder finds redemption with shutout

'Then he took his place in front of the net and faced the demons lurking over his shoulder since Friday night, when he allowed a seemingly harmless shot by the Flyers' R.J. Umberger to slither under his arm. The goal broke a 3-3 tie and sent the Flyers toward a 5-4 win that evened the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. To Miller's detractors, the goal suggested the … [Read more...] about After disastrous outing, Buffalo netminder finds redemption with shutout

Forsberg must be the man

'We don't mean to imply that Forsberg is bar hopping until all hours in Buffalo, but the point is this: He has looked like a leading Conn Smythe Trophy candidate in the Flyers' two wins in Philly. He has looked, at times, like the Invisible Man in their three losses in Buffalo. In other words, as Forsberg goes, so go the Flyers.' … [Read more...] about Forsberg must be the man

Sabres' edge

'"They'll try to get inside our heads as much as they can," Miller said of the Flyers' fans. "We've been in that environment now. We've seen it. I hope everybody on the team takes time to prepare for it, and know we've been there and done it."' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ edge

Sabres the desired picture of the `New NHL'

'"They're a team built for the New NHL," said Simon Gagne of the Sabres. "They're not a big team. They have a lot of skill, lot of speed. . . . On our side, we're a big team, a little bit of speed, but we're more physical than those guys. It could be a good thing to say, New NHL vs. Old NHL. We'll see who's going to win."' … [Read more...] about Sabres the desired picture of the `New NHL’

'"Chris has always been passionate about wanting to win," said Tom Galla, the coach of Drury's Little League team in 1989, who remains in touch with Drury. "And he's done it leading by example, since he's not a hugely verbal person. He figures out a way to win. And I know he's worked hard for everything he's gotten, and I know that he appreciates everything just that much more … [Read more...] about For Drury, Winning Is Not the Only Thing
