Dahlin on playing great late in season... "I'm pissed that we started to play good now...it's too late but it's good to see that we can play good hockey and we can beat any team in this league, I guess we have to build for next year and this is how you doing it." #Sabres

Brian Koziol @brianwgr.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Reimer says his recent good play is a combination of playing good, getting some bounces and his teammates putting in a heck of an effort and worked hard in all three zones. #Sabres

Tuch says Thompson has been playing a complete game, his production is jumping, he's having net focus, he says he is the ultimate competitor and it's real easy to follow, he gives us a lot of energy, he's becoming a superstar. He's a threat every time he touches the puck.#Sabres

Brian Koziol @brianwgr.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Tuch said it's taken a little while, but they've turned Key Bank Center into a hard place to play. Crowd has been good and helpful too. #Sabres
