‘The 20-year-old Myers, a teenager most of the season, quickly morphed into the Sabres’ top defenseman just a year out of junior, leading the team and all rookies in ice time (23:44) while compiling 11 goals, 48 points and a plus-13 rating in 82 games.’

Sabres’ Vanek likely out for Game 5 against Bruins
‘Vanek is still nursing a lower-body injury sustained in Game 2.’
Gerbe in, Torres out for Game 5
‘“There are guys I’m unhappier with but they have to come through for me,” Ruff said regarding Torres. “You hoped he would have put away a couple of the opportunities he’s had, but not unhappy [with his play], No.”’
Critics of Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff critics are off base
‘I don’t know why that is his fault. He coaches the players he is provided with, and the current roster has far more finesse than muscle.’
Sabres doing their best to keep the faith
‘"We have hope in this locker room," forward Tim Kennedy said Thursday.’
Ruff won’t rush Vanek to return until he’s ready
‘"If he’s 75 percent and the pace of that game is the way it is, it might be a very bad place to be," Ruff said. "I would love dearly to put him in, but the way the pace has been, the way Tim Connolly has been in a limited role coming off of his [foot injury], if I’m down two players into the game, it puts us in a real bad spot."’
Myers’ reward will be Vegas vacation
‘”Obviously, it’s an honor to be put in a group like that and to be nominated,” Myers said. “I’m trying not to think about it too much right now with this situation with Boston, but yeah, it’s exciting for sure. I’ll wait to really step back and think about it once the season’s over.”‘
Sabres need point men to produce
‘Cody McCormick: Delivered some needed physical play to Sabres and added an offensive boost with opening-goal assist.’

Ruff hanging tough in Buffalo
‘“Ultimately, when there’s too many men, it’s the coach’s fault,” Ruff said, though that was the extent of his civility where other matters late in Game 4 were concerned.’
