Sabres’ Miller deals with bumping from opponents

‘"Every team is going to make it hard. That’s our goal, to make it hard on the goalies to see the puck. But there’s that fine line between making it hard on the goaltenders and protecting them."’

Max effort eludes Sabres

‘With less than half the first period gone, the Thrashers had a 12-1 shot edge and 2-0 lead.’

No hard feelings for Afinogenov

‘"When I was here I tried to play for the fans," he said. "I appreciate them. They come to the games, and I try to put my best into the game. Hopefully, they still like me, and I love them, too."’

Afinogenov returns to Buffalo as a Thrasher

‘“I had good years here,” Afinogenov said. “I have a lot of friends here and a home here. I wish it would have ended different, but what can I do? Right now it’s a different chapter in my book. … I’m a Thrasher right now, and I want to do my best.”’

Kovalchuk leads Thrashers to 4-2 win

‘“It was hard always coming back,” said Buffalo forward Drew Stafford, who cut the Atlanta lead to 3-2 with 3:34 left in regulation only to watch Afinogenov clinch the game 17 seconds later with a splendid individual effort that was started by Hedberg. “We’d make a charge but then we’d let them get one right away.”’

‘”You just can’t start a game like that,” said Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff. “If you start a game like that then you’re just asking for a loss. We just didn’t deserve to win the game tonight.”‘

Sabres Fall In Regulation To Thrashers

‘Kovalchuk scored on the power play to give the Thrashers a 1-0 lead over the Sabres in the first period. Buffalo was called for a too many men on the ice minor that led to the extra man chance for Atlanta. Nik Antropov and Rich Peverley assisted on the goal. Four minutes later Kovalchuk slammed home his second goal of the game to up the Atlanta lead to 2-0. The even strength goal was assisted by Antropov and Bryan Little. Atlanta outshot Buffalo 16 to 13 in the opening period.’
