Postgame Quotes - Sabres Take Game Three
April 17th, 2007 by Tom
Here’s what some folks were saying after last night’s 3-2 Sabres win:
“Any time you score a goal late in the period, it’s a different thing,” Randy Robitaille told Newsday. ”We were pretty excited. We felt we were right there. We should have come out a little more desperate.”
“We’ve got to find ways to use our creativity to get more pucks to Miller,” Ryan Smyth said of the Buffalo goalie to Newsday. ”A couple shots high in the head maybe gets the goalie thinking a little bit. We didn’t test him much in the third.”
On the fans’ behavior, Smyth told Newsday “They expressed themselves a little too much. You have to show respect, but they’re entitled to their opinion. They paid to watch a hockey game, not for the officials to take over.”
“That was a hard-fought first period,” Ryan Miller told the Buffalo News. “Both teams traded some chances. They caught a crossbar and a few bounced away from me, but I was able get a hold of a few. We were able to get that first goal, it was a big lift. That’s important on the road.”
“They came out hard again on us, but we came out better in the second,” Adam Mair told the Buffalo News.
“We capitalize and it’s a different game,” Coach Ted Nolan told the Buffalo paper. ”Ands, ifs and shoulds are something we don’t want to talk about. We didn’t. We just have to get regrouped and get ready for our next game.”
