'There has not been a whole heck of a lot to cheer about this period, or this game for that matter. Evander Kane may just have put this one out of reach by doing it all by himself in the offensive zone. 2-0 BUF.' … [Read more...] about Sabres shut out Colorado 2-0

'"They came out hard the first minute, minute and a half...didn't have much for the rest of the period. Then we took over. We made a big push in the 2nd, even in the 3rd. We hit a couple of posts, missed a couple of open nets. We could have put it away earlier, I think it was bouncing in the wrong direction for us a little bit."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Avalanche

'Eichel has 15 points in his last 15 games (5 G, 10 A).' … [Read more...] about Sabres Beat Sens 3-2

'"We came in after the 2nd and we weren't discouraged. We knew that the game was right there. We had been doing a lot of good things all night. We just stuck to our gameplan. Jack's line did a great job of getting that goal early in the 3rd to kind of set the tone for us and I was fortunate enough to get that one at the end."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Senators

'"A good turnover game for our team is 40 to 45 [turnovers], and a bad turnover game for us is when you get to 55 to 65," Bylsma said. "We take turnovers and puck management a bit different than maybe you see on the game sheet. But I said to Jack if you're not turning over the puck over five times a game, you're not playing well. If he goes to the red-line and chips every puck … [Read more...] about Bylsma: We have to let Jack be Jack

'“I didn’t name anyone, I said we. It’s not about Jack’s line, it’s not about me, it’s not about Ristolainen, it’s about all of us as a team, it’s about doing the small things. It’s about me making an extra save, Jack is our best player, end of story. When he’s going, we’re all going, but when he’s not going, we’ve got to have other guys going. We’ve got to help each other out, … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Lehner said he would never call out a teammate

'As I try to figure out what’s wrong with this team I sometimes wonder if they’re afraid to make a mistake because they’ll get yelled at. Eichel said, “To be honest with you no I’m not. Maybe that’s one of the downfalls, even looking at a game like Toronto, we get up 3-0 and it seems like we just sit back and we’re almost afraid to push against them and try to score the fourth … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Eichel said he can only do his part

'Buffalo is called once again for too many men on the ice. That is the second straight night that they get called, but they are able to kil it off without surrendering any real scoring chances. Those lazy penalties have been an issue all season long. They need to clean that area of their game up, and soon.' … [Read more...] about Canucks double up Sabres 4-2

'"We talked about having a good 2nd period this morning. We watched some film and decided how we were going to play and then forgot to go do it. We gotta go out there and execute. Good teams go out there and execute the gameplan and they do what they're supposed to do, and then everything else takes over. Your natural creativity and your skill takes over. We just didn't do that … [Read more...] about From The Locker Room: Sabres-Canucks

'With 43 saves tonight, Robin Lehner has 37 or more saves in each of his 5 February starts.' … [Read more...] about Kane, Eichel Propel Sabres to 3-1 Win

'"We had a two-goal lead last time in this building. We want to extend leads. When we were up 3-0, we were talking, let's get the 4th, let's get the 5th. Let's really take it to them because there's no rule for scoring too many goals in this league."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Leafs

'Zemgus Girgensons isn’t progressing quickly. Bylsma said, “He’s more than day-to-day at this point, he’s more through the weekend, so not as fastly or as well as we like, but we’ll see on Monday.”' … [Read more...] about The Sabres stayed off the ice again

'"Tim Murray has a job to do as general manager of the Buffalo Sabres and that job is to make the Sabres a better team," Dreger said. " If there is something out there that requires Evander Kane to be part of a package that makes Buffalo better, then obviously he's going to consider that and make that deal. But last time I checked, he was more in a listening mode than he was a … [Read more...] about Kane available for trade, will only be dealt for right price

'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
