Wisdom of vision helps make Enroth special

‘”For many years, Enroth has excelled at ‘box-control,'” Granqvist explained. “He reads the game excellently, and he has great awareness of just how much of the net he covers, depending on the puck’s position and his own position on the ice.”‘

Lucic placed league in tough spot

‘”Hockey is a rough sport, obviously. It’s a forward’s job to get into a goalie’s face and make his life miserable. At the same time, it’s not to run (the goalie) over or put him in danger. It’s a very fine line.”‘

Miller says teammates ‘have his back’

‘”A lot’s been said about it, and you know what? These guys have my back,” Miller said Tuesday. “I was disappointed in the direction that started to take where people were talking about how these guys don’t have my back. My whole job is to try and help these guys and be there for them, and they’re there for me.”‘

Weber played timely role in his return

‘”I’ve always had confidence in myself, and the coaching staff had the confidence in me,” Weber said Tuesday. “It’s a great feeling to be out there in important moments of the game to help get us to the shootout. That’s a pretty special feeling.”‘

Miller says teammates have his back

‘“People were talking about how these guys don’t have my back,” Miller said inside the First Niagara Center dressing room. “My whole job is to help these guys and be there for them, and they’re there for me. I’m disappointed in the direction that started to take. I’ve been with a lot of these guys for a really long time. For one incident and one tough stretch of hockey to start to become what it was I think is unfair to me and I think is unfair to the guys in here.”’

Sabres’ Weber impresses in Myers’ spot

‘How does a guy go from a spare part to playing in crunch time so quickly? “We liked the way he had played in the game,” Ruff said. “He was doing a nice job for us.”’
