Drury's first game back in Buffalo overshadowed by playoff race

'"Drury was so two-faced during the process that he made me forget how much I liked him in Buffalo," said Mike Mannella, a longtime Sabres fan. "He wanted to go back home, and he tried to make Buffalo management look like the bad guy."'

Sabres stomp on Leafs early and often

'"Road games back-to-back we have to play smart," Sabres forward Paul Gaustad said. "The energy's there when you play a smart. When you're not, you're running around and you get tired."'

Sabres bothered by injuries ahead of game against Rangers

‘Without identifying the injuries, Ruff said he’s uncertain whether Vanek and fellow forwards Derek Roy, Jochen Hecht and Paul Gaustad can play Saturday when Buffalo hosts the New York Rangers.’

Sabres&#8217 climb continues

‘The penalty-kill unit was effective early, going 3 for 3 in the first period. Not to be outdone, the power-play unit clicked. It was efficient, scoring twice in the second period on the only two shots it took for the night. The Sabres finished 2 for 5 with the man-advantage, while the Leafs went 1 for 5.’

Kotalik thrives on top line alongside Roy, Vanek

‘“It’s always a good opportunity to play with those guys,” Kotalik said. “I’ve ended up on the third line a lot this year and it shows in my production. Getting a chance to play with them today you see a little more creativity. It’s been tough for me as a guy who wants to score goals and knows he can do it.”’

Sabres pins: Get &#8217em while you can

‘The pins will be available at all Wilson Farms stores, Tops Markets, Noco gas stations and Rite Aid pharmacies for $2.99 each, plus tax, along with a coupon from The Buffalo News. They also will be available in The Buffalo News lobby, but only from 8 to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday.’

Streaking Sabres making a charge up playoff ladder

‘”It’s going to be a situation where we’re going to have to keep winning games. People around you are going to keep winning games. And when you play the teams you’re right there with you’re going to have to win the majority. You’re going to have to win more than you lose to stay ahead of them.”‘

Ales Kotalik scores 2 to help Sabres beat Maple Leafs 5-1

‘“It was a put-up or shut-up situation and we stepped up and rose to the occasion,” Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller explained. “It doesn’t mean we’re in the playoffs yet but it means we’re in position to make it now.”‘

Sabres defeat Leafs 5-1 and jump into tie for sixth place in East

‘“We’re happy with our efforts and the way the guys are competing. The guys are paying attention to details. That’s a telltale sign that you want to win. It’s going to take that mentality for the rest of the season so we might as well own up to it.”’
