‘“I wasn’t scoring when I had chances. Guys weren’t scoring when I made plays. A lot of that has to fall into it, but as long as we’re winning now and getting back to where we want to be and playing better hockey, it puts a smile on everyone’s face and makes life a lot easier for everyone.”’

‘“No matter how bad it gets, as far as the lack of offense, the statistics, it’s frustrating you’re losing games and everything, I mean, I’m not going to stop. I’m not going to quit,” Stafford said Friday inside the First Niagara Center after the Sabres prepared for tonight’s tilt against the Canadiens. “I’m going to continue to try to find ways to get better and do my best, and that’s just who I am.”‘

‘“I’ve gotten hit many times, but not in that spot,” Vanek said. “For the next two days, I couldn’t move my leg much. It’s one of those things it got better a little bit at a time, and yesterday, all of a sudden it made a big jump.”’
