‘“(Ryan) is going to get a little extra work in after practice, so we’ll see where he’s at. If he’s ready we’re gonna use him,” Lindy Ruff said in reference to tomorrow’s game versus Toronto.’

‘The game featured a recipe that certainly didn’t tantalize the tastebuds of any Sabres fans. Add one hot goaltender to an ice-cold offense and toss in a dash of turnovers, and the result is predictable.’

‘”I’ve played lots of games in the minors,” he said. “The organization has shown me a lot of respect by having me here. Just practicing up here makes me a better player.”‘

‘“In a game like that, you can’t miss the net on some of those good chances,” said Ruff, whose team has dropped three of four after a 4-0-1 run. “You can’t miss the net on the power play when you’re dead in the slot. Those are ones you’re going to have to convert if you’re going to win hockey games.”’

‘”It was a deflected puck, and obviously, he caught me off-guard there,” said Enroth on the only mistake he made in the contest. “I think I screwed up when I tried to play the puck instead of looking at the shooter.”‘

‘A lot of coulda, woulda, shouldas for the Sabres on the night.’

‘”You can’t miss the chances we missed. In a game like that, you can’t miss the net on some of the good chances, you can’t miss the net on the power play when you’re dead in the slot… Those are ones you’re going to have to convert if you’re going to win hockey games.”‘
