Lindy says Reimer played great hockey this season, says he has a lot of admiration for him. Says he gave the club a lot of confidence. #Sabres
Lindy called this a "union game", not a lot of hitting. #Sabres
Lindy on 900 wins: "it just means I've coached a lot of hockey games, I've had a lot of good players and coaches and management that has put a lot of trust in me." #Sabres
Reimer says Dahlin is a special player, says he grew so much with his play this year, but as a person, he grew a lot and took a big step, and as a captain, he handled the pressure well and grew as a person and leader. Says he leads by example. #Sabres
Reimer says he feels like he will take the next couple weeks and see how he and his family is doing and then make a decision on whether or not he wants to play again next year or retire. #Sabres
Reimer says he "was a little freaked out in the moment" when a skate blade touched his neck, luckily he says he's fine. #Sabres
Reimer: "It's fun to win, I thought we played a pretty good time...we battled hard right to the end, it always feels good to finish with a win." #Sabres
Quinn on home-ice improvement: "I think it goes a along way, get the fans behind us...got to clean up the road, it's a positive for sure." #Sabres
Tuch on setting shot block record for forwards - says "it's pretty cool", says he's really tried to put an emphasis on good defensive play. #Sabres
Tuch on Lindy 900 wins: "It's awesome, I wish we did it a few games ago, it's good to get 900 for him, it's really special...I'm sure it means a lot for him too." #Sabres
Tuch on winning Rick Martin award: "The award, it's nice but it's more of the effect and the encounters with the people I've been able to work." Says he credits area businesses & charities for their great work, his wife & son for pushing him hard to be a help in the community.

Lindy says while Carolina had the shot edge, he felt his team had the better quality of shots on net. #Sabres
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
Dahlin: "Reim's in the net is playing really well right now but we aren't giving them anything for free...we are playing mature hockey out there now and don't give up anything..." #Sabres
Reimer says the goal is to win 41 games at home, says you want to put on a show for your fans and get them behind you and says they take pride in their home record and they've raised the standard and it's paid off. #Sabres
Reimer: "If you can slow the game down, that's when you see things better and you can see plays and make reads and not get caught up in the chaos around you..." #Sabres
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
