‘"We got a lot of pucks to the net," said Derek Roy, one of five Sabres to get at least four shots. "We were crashing the crease and pucks were laying there and we just needed somebody to poke at it."’

‘"On an injury front, it will give us some time to catch up there," coach Lindy Ruff said. "On the team front, you saw at the end of our seven [games] in 11 [days], the energy level started to go down. Even with a few days, you get the energy back with your team. You work really hard at your system, try to clean up different part of your game. We’ve got extra time to work on a lot of things."’

‘“We made some big mistakes tonight, Myers and Sekera had a tough night and we rely on those guys a lot,” said Buffalo’s coach Lindy Ruff.’

‘”We got off on the wrong foot. We were forcing it down in the neutral zone, but they were always looking to get creative,” Miller said. “We didn’t pick the right time to take the lead. On the third goal, I should have played it better.”‘

‘It was the first win against Buffalo at home this season, with the first two meetings taking place at HSBC Arena.’

‘”Everyone always wants to blame the coach for everything when things go wrong,” Buffalo’s Jason Pominville said. “But you know what? It usually isn’t the coach’s fault, and there’s something to be said for having this kind of stability.”‘
