Are Sabres watching NHL playoff race as closely as their fans?

‘“I’m not one who looks at (the standings) all the time,” Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt said. “I think if you look at it too much it gets in your head a little bit. I think the main thing for us is to focus on how we can play and we know what we can do, and just work towards that and it should work itself out.”’

‘“I just felt he wasn’t really involved in the game,” Housley said, “and I thought when he was placed back with Jack, he was back to his normal self.”’

Sabres’ Evan Rodrigues piling up goals after slow start

‘“Maybe a little bit more confidence, probably playing a lot smarter, not trying to force things, not making the hard play but making the smart, right play,” Rodrigues said. “I’m playing with my head up a lot more with the puck, a lot more confident with it on my stick.”‘

Sabres hope to build streak by beating pesky Hurricanes

‘“We haven’t had a lot of success against them in the last two or three years,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said this afternoon. “It’s going to be a point of emphasis. But more importantly is to try to keep building something here and not going back to winning a game and getting on the right side of things, because we got to stay focused.”‘

Many of the Sabres are enjoying meaningful games in February

‘“A lot of guys have been lucky enough to be in the playoffs and it will bring another aspect to our game with the guys that have been there showing us guys that haven’t been there and guys need to dig in and find more to give every single night because I don’t think you’re going to find a hungrier group to make the playoffs than in here.”’

Rodrigues: Things have ‘started to go my way’

‘“I’m not gonna lie when I say it’s nice to prove people wrong,” said Rodrigues, reflecting on his journey from the minors to the NHL, “[I] just put my nose to the grindstone and have worked hard from day one and couldn’t be happier right now.”’

Sabres working to keep emotions in check with playoff spot hanging in the balance

‘”We can’t be lackadaisical in practice. We have to make sure we’re engaged and ready to give our best effort and that we’re mentally engaged,” said Rodrigues. “Even in games, when we get lackadaisical and sit back, that’s when we tend to struggle. We have to be engaged (in practice on Wednesday) and be ready to go and have a quick start on Thursday.”‘

New option for Bills, Sabres or Bandits season ticket renewal to be offered

‘Starting in the offseason, Pegula Sports and Entertainment will offer use of Easy Renew.’

Drop and roll: How Ullmark channeled Hasek in victory over Wild

‘”You hear all these rumors and stories about him having shutouts in practice and guys hating shooting on him because he was just dominating them,” Ullmark said after practice on Wednesday. “I kind of always idolized him from that standpoint and try to be like him when I play and during practices.’
