‘As far back as Little League, when he pitched Trumbull, Conn., to a world championship, Drury established himself as a clutch performer, a reputation he only enhanced with the Colorado Avalanche. He’s been exiled from the playoffs since 2002, and in his return he has scored crucial goal after crucial goal for the Sabres. He is tied for fifth in playoff scoring with 13 points. He may not be the best player on the ice, but the Canes have to know where he is at all times.’
