19 Days Buffalo Sabres Comment

Tyler Myers knows he has to improve after regressing each year since he won the Calder Trophy in 2009-10.

"It's only natural to hear things like that the way things have gone, especially this year," he said. "I'll be the first to admit I definitely need to turn things around, get back on that path to improving and working on the things that have made me successful. It's just a matter of working that much harder this off-season." Myers notched eight points and a minus-8 rating before his season came to an end when a hairline fracture was discovered in his left leg after he blocked a shot against Montreal on April 11. He wants to put his past conditioning issues behind him and train hard in the summer, so it could make for a more fit Tyler Myers next year.

Feel free to drop Myers. This is just another bump in the road in a tough season for Myers. He scored just three goals and added five assists in 39 games.

The Buffalo Sabres announced that Tyler Myers broke a bone in his leg on Thursday, effectively ending his 2013 season.

The towering defenseman has been a disappointment on the scale of his size at times in this campaign, but that's still a discouraging update. The Sabres didn't give a window of recovery beyond that vague season-ending label, so it's unclear how deep into the offseason (or even 2013-14 season) this might go.

Tyler Myers has been a colossal disappointment for much of his fourth NHL season.

The former Calder Trophy winner has only four assists in the last 17 games, but Myers has played at least 23:59 in the last four games. "I think it's been night and day from the start of the season until now," Myers said about his play. "There's always room for improvement for any player. I feel I've really simplified my game. It's just a matter of jumping when . you see the opportunity." He shouldn't be counted on in yearly formats for the rest of the season.

Tyler Myers admitted to being out of shape at the start of the season.

"Yeah," Myers said. "I wanted more. It's something that had to be addressed. It has been addressed. But you know, I won't be making that mistake again." The promising blueliner was made a healthy scratch twice in February, and finally his game has started to come along, with a closer attention paid to the defensive end. Myers only has five points on the year, and really shouldn't be counted on in yearly formats for the rest of the season.

Tyler Myers netted the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Tampa Bay.

"It always feels good to score," Myers said. "It felt unbelievable to get the win after the way things have been going." He also picked up four minutes in penalties, but the Sabres bailed him out while going six for six on the penalty kill in the contest. Myers has three goals and one assist to go with a minus-6 rating in 18 games this campaign.

Tyler Myers, who had been a healthy scratch for two games this past week, played well in a 4-2 win over the Bruins Friday night.

He scored an important goal, registered an assist and looked more comfortable at both ends of the ice in the victory. Myers has had a miserable season so far (one goal and a minus nine rating), however, Friday night's contest could be a turning point. "When he's skating and moving, he's a tough man to keep track of," said coach Lindy Ruff. "I thought his energy in the game was maybe as good as I've seen this year." Myers was also pleased with his effort. "There's a lot of good things to take from it," Myers said. "I think the most important thing is I continue, not let this be a one-game thing. A lot of it is confidence. It's coming back." We have a feeling the 6'8" defenseman will be a solid starter from here on in.
