"I had a chance to set the tone on my end and didn't do it," Miller said. "It just kind of went from there. ... (The shot) was rising up and I didn't have a step on it. So I just look stupid."

"I love our team and I love our players," Mair said. "When you look at the young players we've signed to long-term contracts, you can see that Darcy and upper management believe in those players. It would go against the plan to deviate and start bringing in new players because we missed the playoffs by two points.

"I've been [ticked] off for weeks, months," Miller said. "I don't think we've been playing well enough for a long time. We've been getting away with it. I don't know. We just need to get our act together and it could have started tonight. But we got rattled." -Ryan Miller

"If you asked everybody what the truth was they'd say they were pretty tired and zoned out from the road trip," Miller said. "But we grinded one out."

"It is a relief," Vanek said. "I feel like I've been in front of the net, especially on the power play, gotten good tips and nothing seems to get in. Finally I got one bounce and was able to put it away. It felt good."
-
"It's probably not the most exciting things for our fans, but I'm glad we stuck to our system," said Ryan Miller, "It didn't amount to a ton of chances for either team, but sometimes that's how you have to do it."

"It's too bad," French Connection linemate Rene Robert said. "Pegula had just put us together. He told us that night, 'Now you're going to be here until you die.' I tell you, I'm speechless. When you play that long with two guys, they're family. At least there was time to bring us all back together one more time."
-
"Management has a strategy here and the contracts show that. This team is maturing, but it doesn't come easily and we have to work at it. There's a need for the guys in our dressing room to realize it's up to us and we have to get the job done this year."
-
"Name me a team that's won a series and blew two leads and has gone 0-for on the power play," Sabres right wing Jason Pominville said. "You're probably not going to find one."
-
"Right now, this is my team," Roy said. "I'm not a GM. I have no idea what they're going to do. All I can do is play for my team, play for my linemates, go out every night like it was my first year and play as hard as I can every game."

"That first period showed how a top team plays in the NHL," defenseman Robyn Regehr said. "We have to be a lot sharper right off the bat. We have to work much harder and be harder on the pucks. Once (Detroit) gets the puck, they make very disciplined decisions."
-
"There's no excuse with that," Connolly said. "I was fine, pretty much pain free. It was terrible, terrible play."
-
"This team has had a slower start, but if you look at them in terms of stats, I think they’re [third] in the league in shots for, which means they’re a major threat offensively," Boucher said. "Miller is back now, so he’s maybe the best goalie in the league. If you look at the motivation they’ve got, especially lately, they’ve got two games in hand on Carolina. If they win those two...

"You hear them, you see them, you feel the excitement and you build on it," Sabres forward Mark Mancari said. "I've wanted to be up here for a long time, and to be in this battle is amazing. Guys are playing unbelievable from the goalie on out, so this is some fun hockey."

“We can talk as much as we want – new leadership, new guys,” Vanek said. “But I think the guys that have been here, myself included, for a long time need to step up and do more. I’ve said it before. If we don’t make it far, it’s on myself, it’s on us. You can’t just bring in new guys and think they’re going to fix things.”

“Whatever I have to I’m going to do it to the highest of my ability with passion and everything involved in that, I think,” Kaleta said. “I can be a person to push that on a few more people and hold that responsibility factor that we’ve been talking about the past couple of years. I think I can be a leader on the team.”
