Lindy says the talks with the players over the next two days will be getting them to be ready right off the start for next season. #Sabres

Lindy says "we're not where we want to be", says the 13-game winless streak killed them for the year. Says there are no excuses from it and he takes the blame for it and says it simply can't happen again. #Sabres

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 said Reimer "looks calm and totally under control and he's got himself in a good place and he's continuing to roll." #Sabres

Lindy said they are comfortable in a tight game now and managing the puck better and even when they make a bad play, they come to the bench and make the adjustment. #Sabres

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

Tuch on Reimer: says "how about one more year?" #Sabres

Tuch says Reimer is so steady and so calm and it gives them so much confidence, says he's been their best player over the few weeks of games. #Sabres

Tuch says leading the NHL in SHG is nice but they are focused on killing off the penalty. #Sabres

Montreal has won against Detroit 4-1, so this result officially eliminates the #Sabres from the playoffs for the 14th straight season.

Lindy says after the 1st period, they cleaned up the puck management issues and played a very good 40 minutes. #Sabres

Thompson on Ovechkin: "It's not human, especially in today's game, it's beyond incredible." Says it's an unreal accomplishment. #Sabres

Thompson: "I think the first period was a little sloppy, a little careless with the puck, but we were able to come in here and reset...our first three goals were about being in front of the net...it was about playing simple." #Sabres

Tuch on Ovechkin: "It's incredible, obviously he's a really special player, generational talent, congrats to him..." says his goal celebration was great. #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

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

Tuch: "I think we came out, sometimes you can get a little complacent, but you got to go out there and work...I thought we had a slow start...Lindy said we had a really good last 40 minutes..." #Sabres
