Sabres continue to let their chances slip by

‘The Sabres simply lack sniping ability. They have scored on 80 of their 1,145 shots, good for just 7.0 percent. Since 1997-98, only one team has been worse.’

Sabres Notebook: Winter Classic update; Housley ill; Devils hot

‘”I will invite anybody to find a blade of grass,” Mayer said. “We cover every inch of the stadium and transform the stadium so that when people do walk in and they have their ticket – and even if they come to 50 Mets games a year – they are watching something that is completely different than anything that they have experienced at Citi Field.”‘

As Winter Classic nears, how much have Sabres’ struggles affected TV ratings?

‘”I think most hockey people are a little surprised that the Sabres aren’t doing better than this,” said Flood. “You didn’t expect the Sabres to be where they are right now. In the same breath, there is something about a big stage that makes people play a little bit better. And it will create better competition hopefully and the Sabres will want to step up and want to show they are better than their record indicates.”‘

Sabres’ Housley misses practice

‘The Sabres head coach was under the weather and stayed in the hotel. Former Blues head coach Davis Payne ran practice.’

Josefson looks forward to ‘special’ return to New Jersey

‘Josefson left the Devils to sign a one-year deal with the Sabres when free agency opened on July 1, a split he said was best for both sides. He’s already played his former team once, a 6-2 Devils win when the two teams met in Buffalo on Oct. 9.’
