'The mass exodus from the seating bowl has started as Corey Perry adds to the visitor's lead with his second goal of the night. There really was not much Robin Lehner could have done with the lack of help in front of him. 4-1 ANA.' … [Read more...] about Sabres fall to Ducks 5-2

'"[3rd period] was obviously a tough period. Just think that we turned too many pucks over in transition against a team with a lot of good forwards. Didn't contain their speed at all through the neutral zone and the puck ended up in the back of our net."' … [Read more...] about From The Locker Room: Sabres-Ducks

'"I'm always looking for a perfect game, and I probably will be looking for the perfect game until the day I die," Murray said about the team's place in the standings. "That's my job with the coaches and that's how we get better is to never think you've planted the flag at the top of the mountain until you actually do, and that's the Stanley Cup."' … [Read more...] about Murray: “I’m always looking for the perfect game”

'The unlikely comeback is complete! Evander Kane absolutely flew towards the front of the net, and the pass by Jack Eichel was right on the tape. Crazy that the Sabres trailed by three goals partly through the final period in regulation, and the blue and gold win.' … [Read more...] about Sabres battle back to defeat Sharks 5-4 in OT

'"I think if anything, our team should use that as some confidence. I think we need to look at that 3rd period, the way we played -- we played fast, we put them on their heels for 15 minutes at least. We made it hard on them and got them in the forecheck."' … [Read more...] about From The Locker Room: Sabres-Sharks

'Pavel Zacha fired a loose puck past Lehner late in the 3rd, giving New Jersey the lead for good. The call was reviewed for goaltender interference, but the goal was allowed to stand.' … [Read more...] about Devils Stifle Sabres 2-1

'Anders Nilsson chirped in, “Both yes and no. I don’t think all the answers is to score more goals, it’s not to make the equipment smaller, it’s a big part in how the game is played and different reasons to why you don’t see a lot of goals in certain games, but on the other hand, I still think there’s some room to make the equipment smaller too. As Robin says it’s not the … [Read more...] about The Sabres’ goalies are good with the new pants

'Marcus Foligno does it all himself, and the forward is rewarded with his ninth goal of the season. Mike Condon should have stopped the shot that was low along the ice, but he cannot and he is relived by Andrew Hammond for the remainder of the night.' … [Read more...] about Lehner and Sabres shut out Ottawa 4-0

'A broken play in the offensive zone results in the puck landing on Cody Franson's stick in the slot. He does not miss, and beats Henrik Lundqvist to tie the game. Now go get a second goal quickly, if you are the blue and gold. 1-1 tie.' … [Read more...] about Rangers down Sabres 2-1 in OT

'"We were taking it to them pretty good, I think. Our line was feeeling good about what we were doing, then [O'Reilly's] line goes out there and follows it up...we were able to get a goal. But it was a tough, tough, tough loss for some of the things that we did out there tonight."' … [Read more...] about From The Locker Room: Sabres-Rangers
