'"You look at the first four games here and two of them you can accept the effort and compete level of the guys. Coming in on the road, we knew the situation San Jose was in, we knew they were going to start fast, which they did. Then we got settled down and into our own game, and it was just unfortunate that we didn't get that third goal. But can't fault the effort, that's … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Sharks

'"We've got to keep our game simple. We're trying to make plays that are not high percentage plays. We've got to protect the puck a little bit better. We're using our energy in the wrong area. We want to continue to hammer our message about being a smarter hockey team."' … [Read more...] about Housley: We need to be a smarter hockey team

The good thing is that we're just three games into the season and no one is going to panic. We've got a big trip coming up, we've got to press reset here, and it's a long season.

Housley said it causes wasted energy, “You’re just turning it over to the other team, they’re quick countering, they’re coming back at us and now we’re spending energy defending and we’re getting worn down just trying to get pucks out and that’s a victory.”' … [Read more...] about Housley said don’t blame the system

Philip Danault is able to sneak from below the goal line and slide the puck under Lehner and into the net short handed. I need my goaltender to stop the chance and push the puck away from the net. Instead, it is a tie game. 2-2 tie.' … [Read more...] about Canadiens down Sabres 3-2 in shootout

'"I think our guys did a terrific job... We out-shot a team, we out-chanced a team, we just didn't beat them on the scoreboard. But, I really liked the effort from our guys, you can see things were coming together, we took a step forward tonight.
