‘“We could have had three or four in the second period, but their goalie was unbelievable,” MacArthur said. “(Vanek) finds those spots all the time. It’s just a matter of getting him the puck, because you know he’s going to score.”’

‘"If a guy’s got his head down and I can stick him with a good hit, I’m going to," Kaleta said. "That’s part of the game. That’s what happened. If they want to come after me, I’ll just let our power play go out."’

‘"Hockey can be trendy down there. When you’re winning, hockey is a good thing," Tippett said Thursday. "Places in the South, they can be successful. If you have a successful team on the ice, people want to be associated with that. That’s what we’re striving for."’

‘Vanek scored from the slot on the power play with 3:53 to go, one-timing MacArthur’s pass from underneath the goal line.’

‘The Sabres then took a 2-1 lead with 3:53 to play. On the power play, a tic- tac-toe play resulted in the puck coming to Vanek out front for the one-timer and a 2-1 lead.’

‘The Coyotes best chance to score came on a 5-on-3 power play situation midway through the middle stanza also. Steve Montador was called for a hooking minor penalty, followed by a Henrik Tallinder tripping call. Phoenix failed to score on the twenty-seven second two man advantage. Buffalo peppered LaBarbera with 17 more shots, while Miller stopped all 10 Phoenix shots in the second.’
