‘”When you start looking at the All-Star break and the whole next week, without the Sabres out there for that long, was probably a mistake,” Quinn said. “I’m glad that fans were mad that we weren’t going to be on, and I’m glad that we’re able to accommodate the fact that they have that much passion for it.”‘

‘The Buffalo Sabres announced today that all four games of the upcoming Western road trip will now be available locally on MSG. In each case, viewers will see the home team feed.’

‘True, the Sabres probably aren’t going to reach Boston at the top of the conference and that makes it a near certainty that the highest they can finish is fourth place, but big deal. Buffalo has looked good against Boston — and for that matter, most of the top teams in the NHL — this season.’

‘Sleep. I’m not kidding. That Anaheim game starts at 10 p.m. That’s really late. Just imagine when it’ll finish.’
