'The Sabres have tried to dictate in these two games and it’s worked for them. The line of Girgensons, Tyler Ennis and Sam Reinhart has gotten better and Girgensons said, “Throughout all three periods there hasn’t been a time where we have been like let’s sit back and wait. We just keep playing our game and that’s how we have to do it.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres are improving at defending

'"We requested that. That was our request," said Kane's attorney Paul Cambria about the ACD. "Before they would consent to that, they consulted with the individuals who filed the complaints and apparently there was no objection to it."' … [Read more...] about Evander Kane Case to be Dismissed in Six Months

'The other thing Buffalo could not afford to do in this game is sit back and let Florida dictate the play in this period. That has definitely not been the case this frame as the blue and gold have continued to move the play forward and the forwards are still using a hard fore check to keep the play in the offensive zone.' … [Read more...] about Sabres shut out Florida 3-0

'"It was probably our best start of the year. In that first period we went at them, and I thought we did a good job just taking the play to them, playing on our toes. I think that's probably our most complete game of the year."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Panthers

'“We’ve got to be what we’re saying we’re going to do because turnovers and stuff like that, it really kills you and good teams that are winning on a consistent basis, they take care of the blue line and they take care of certain parts of the ice and they always have a good third guy and they keep things on the outside and we’ve got to get to that part because I feel like we … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Lehner ready to go

'The seconds continue to bleed off of the clock and this game has completely put me to sleep. Minnesota can watch the time tick off the clock and the Sabres are not putting up much of a fight.' … [Read more...] about Sabres blanked by Minnesota 4-0

'"We're not happy with our last game by any means. It's not acceptable," Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges said. "We can't hit the panic button right now and start freaking out. We just have to correct the things we can correct, make sure we're focused on the job we need to do, and when it comes time to play we have to play for 60 minutes. I hate to say that because it's a cliché, … [Read more...] about Sabres need to learn from Tuesday’s loss

'Last year it was mildly frustrating to watch the Sabres get dominated in overtime. This year it’s flat out inexcusable. The NHL’s 3-2-1 point system makes it so the 5 minute overtime and shootout are worth just as much as the 60 minutes that come before it. With that in mind, I want my team to be the best at it. At this point I’d be happy if it appeared the Sabres were … [Read more...] about The 3-2-1

To back up Nilsson, the Sabres have recalled goalie Linus Ullmark from the Rochester Americans.' … [Read more...] about Lehner out against the Flyers; Ullmark recalled

'He gave it a little more thought and smiled saying, “Just put the puck in the net I guess.” He did get serious after that and agreed he must use his speed more, “Yes I think so, I think I need to push the pace and use my speed all over the ice and then just think about getting the puck to the net."' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Ennis is happy to have Reinhart in the middle

'Starting with the overtime goal in Calgary, Reinhart has been turning the puck over a lot. Bylsma said, “We have six goals in one game and four in the other three games. Sam needs to get a little bit more of the feet moving, a little bit more speed to his game. He made some great plays early on, but we need to get more out of Sam in providing a little bit more offense for our … [Read more...] about Sabres moving Reinhart to center
