'"From Randy (Cunneyworth) and Darcy (Regier), my understanding is that he has been playing a physical game, has been solid defensively, has been a plus player down there," said head coach Lindy Ruff referring to Weber's performance in Rochester. "Right now he's been the guy that they've really liked and really like the way he's played. The game we played him up here, we've really like his presence and his composure."'

'Weber started last season with the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League, before being dealt to the Barrie Colts at the OHL trade deadline. In a combined 60 games with Windsor and Barrie, Weber posted career highs in goals (6), assists (28) and points (34), along with 172 PIMs. He also contributed six points (0+7) in seven playoff games.'

'Buffalo will wear their road whites at HSBC Arena for games against Boston (Wednesday, November 7) and Toronto (Friday, November 9), along with Thanksgiving week visits from Ottawa (Wednesday, November 21) and Montreal (Friday, November 23).'

‘The Sabres’ second-round pick in the 2006 draft, Weber could make his NHL debut Friday when Buffalo plays at Florida. He’s had three assists in nine games in his first year with AHL Rochester this season.’

'“Dmitri’s is a knee strain that’s going to be a good period of time,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. “We’re going to get it evaluated, but it’s an MCL that’s either going to be Grade I or Grade II, and that’s a long period of time.”'

'Just Frightening – Henrik Tallinder and Toni Lydman: The Sabres alleged "best defensive pair" combined for a -8 rating tonight. Too bad Lindy didn't stick with his original, preseason plan to split this pair up. It seems like they need to be apart.'
