‘”He’s an emotional young guy that has a great desire to win,” Murray said during his weekly interview on WGR Radio. “We like when our fans are emotional and we completely 100 percent respect the right of the fans who have paid for tickets to boo us off the ice. They’re there. They’re in control of the emotional state of the arena and I wholeheartedly believe that and agree with it.’

Mike Harrington: Sabres have sell-high dilemma with Kane

‘”I think as a D-man I’ve been struggling this year goal scoring,” Ristolainen said. “I don’t think you can score too many goals as a D-man so obviously it felt pretty good. It’s been a while but hopefully I can keep it going and somehow get more goals and try to help the team win.”‘

Quick hits: Ducks 5, Sabres 2

Corey Perry scores twice in Ducks’ 5-2 win over Sabres

‘”We can’t expect to climb back and make a hell of a comeback all the time,” said Sabres goalie Robin Lehner, who stopped 39 shots. “In the end, 14-3 (shots against) and it’s 4-1 in a 1-1 game. We can twist the facts as much as we want, it’s just not good enough.”‘
