Flyers 4, Sabres 3

'Although the final buzzer ended the Sabres' 82-game tune-up with a defeat, Buffalo's collective health remains intact – a bonus that has smiles beaming throughout western New York as the real season begins next.'

Flyers come back to spoil regular-season finale

'Buffalo entered the third period with a 3-2 lead, but the Flyers rallied with two goals in the final 20 minutes to end the Sabres' chance at sole possession of the team's all-time record for most points in a season.'

Sabres Drop Season Finale

‘Collecting a loose puck in Buffalo’s zone, Knuble created a scoring opportunity for one of his younger teammates by cutting behind the net and attempting a backhanded wraparound with a Philadelphia man advantage. The shot was turned away by Conklin but the 22-year-old Richards converted on the rebound to record his 10th goal of the season at 8:45.’

Sabres Fall In Regular Season Finale

'Philadelphia came back strong in the third scoring twice to take the lead. The first came right off a face off as Mike Knuble snapped it past Ty Conklin and then Mike Richards would score on the power play to make it 4-3 with just over twelve minutes remaining. That’s how it would end as Martin Biron stopped 27 shots in the win.'

Philadelphia 4, Buffalo 3

'"You don't want a key injury in a game like this that means absolutely nothing to you," coach Lindy Ruff said. "It was two teams that didn't throw a lot of hits. As a players, you don't want to get hurt on your exit game. It was pretty mildly contested on both sides."'

Philadelphia 4, Buffalo 3

'It was a matchup of polar opposites, as Buffalo captured the President's Trophy with the most points in the league, while the Flyers set a new franchise low for points and finished dead last in the NHL standings.'

Sabres wait for enemy

'“We knew it was probably going to come down to the last day or the night before, so there’s not a lot of difference,” said Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, who went out to dinner rather than watch the crucial Leafs-Habs tilt. “I wasn’t that keen on watching. Originally, I was. Then I thought, it’s going to be who it’s going to be. As it turned out, now it’s out of both those teams’ hands.”'

Beauty of Connolly&#8217s goal in eyes of beholder

'“The first goal’s always the hardest one to get. It’s a big relief,” Connolly said while riding a stationary bike. “I was just going out with the mentality of keeping it simple out there, not trying to do too much.”'
