‘Spending time in both the AHL and NHL in his first couple of years as a pro, Miller took over the top job in Buffalo after the lockout. He’s proven he deserves to be the No. 1 guy. “He’s having a good career, and I think probably the sky’s the limit with his talents,” said Cammalleri.’

‘For two teams that rarely meet, the Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers certainly created numerous story lines and acquaintance-renewing moments Tuesday.’

‘This one was over before fans in the sellout crowd in Rexall Place took their touques off.’

‘”I didn’t have time to think about being an Oiler, though. Buffalo matched it in a couple of hours. I’m happy they did. I grew up with most of the guys on this team from playing with them in Rochester (during the 2004-05 lockout).”‘

‘”It was an offer I never expected, but I guess that’s why I have an agent working for me,” Vanek said yesterday.’

‘”Things are going good for me this year,” Spacek said. “After my first year here when we lost to Ottawa in the playoffs, we went through a re-building year here and lost a couple of good players. But we have a good group of young guys that had to go through a learning process and now they are playing much better.”‘

‘The nephew of Oilers’ equipment manager Barrie Stafford scored 10 seconds after the opening faceoff, then potted two more goals in the third period as the Sabres waltzed to a 10-2 win at Rexall Place last night.’

‘“We worked really hard tonight and it was one of those games where everything was going in for us,” Sabres forward Clarke MacArthur said. “It’s a great confidence booster for us coming back from the break.”’
