'"This feels like home," Warrener said. "It's where I should be. I loved Buffalo. It was my kind of town, blue collar, good people and hard-working. I like to think that that's the type of hockey I played and the type of person I am. But I'm from Western Canada. If you're not from there, you don't understand."' … [Read more...] about Warrener: Buffalo's loss is a huge gain for Calgary

'"We got an offer (from Buffalo) and my agency made a counter-offer," Paille said. "They offered something and my agent countered with something. Who knows from there. The main thing is to be patient. I've been patient for two years now so I'm sure one more week won't hurt. I can't do anything now to improve (the offer), the season is … [Read more...] about Daniel Paille patiently waiting for contract with Sabres to get done

'”It’s funny but Darcy (Regier, the general manager of the parent Buffalo Sabres) was right,” Miller was saying Wednesday night, after the Rochester Americans were knocked out of the Calder Cup playoffs by a 4-1 loss to the Milwaukee Admirals. “You didn’t want to hear it then (that he was being sent to the Amerks) but there were things I … [Read more...] about Price of progress for Amerks offers a valuable lesson

'It makes you wonder why the Sabres couldn't find room for a veteran leader and consistent scorer. In 2000, Andreychuk thought he could boost a struggling power play and make a difference on a good team missing a few pieces. Who knows, he thought, maybe they could win it all. Instead, his second stint was basically a disaster.' … [Read more...] about The guiding light

'"Everybody knows it was not a goal," Warrener said. "I don't know if now is the time to get into it. Just be honest. [The league] should admit they made a mistake. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think we lost that game."' … [Read more...] about Warrener seeks Cup retibution

'Quinn added that the team will continue planning as if next season will start on time and has made no plans yet to cut staff. Quinn said the only job losses so far have come through attrition, in which employees left after finding opportunities elsewhere.' … [Read more...] about Cup finalists give hope to small-market Sabres

'Even more frustrating is knowing the season could have been so much more fulfilling, if not for the amazing play of a 15th-year goalie and one decision in each of the past three games by the referee.' … [Read more...] about Loss eliminates Amerks from playoffs

'After several distressing seasons down on the farm, the parent Buffalo Sabres made good on their promise to put a winner back on the ice in Rochester. This was a fun team with plenty of talent and character, if not the complete package.' … [Read more...] about Veteran goalie (theirs) a winner

'Miller was perhaps on the verge of being the backup for Game 5 after he allowed two soft goals in a 3-2 loss in Game 4 on Sunday. But in all likelihood, Cunneyworth was going to stick with Miller. The second-year goalie wasn’t at fault on the goals Wednesday (the last was into an empty net). Still, he thought he should have stopped at least one solo dash that led to … [Read more...] about Amerks upset at referees

'The series spotlight, however, belonged to Flaherty, who saved 119 of 123 shots in the three games the Admirals won in Buffalo and Rochester during the past week. Flaherty again knocked away or caught everything thrown at him, with the exception of a late first-period goal by Americans center Derek Roy. "I played with him before (with the New York Islanders), and I … [Read more...] about 'Flats' deflates Americans

'Milwaukee goalie Wade Flaherty was the difference again, just as he was in games three and four. This time the 38 year old Flaherty turned away just about everything the Amerks threw at him finishing with 44 saves. "I was able to see the majority of their shots, and the ones I did see I was able to control the rebound," Flaherty said.' … [Read more...] about Season Ends
