Been here since 1970, still waiting
I think we are winning

Please upload the Domi vs Ray episode!

From Spain…i love Sabres…on November 19 I fulfilled my dream of watching a game of the sabers in the Keybankcenter
one of my favs
I want that passion back want that excitement back I want to feel part of something special. I want that excitement back in the great Rick jeanneret voice while we still have him here. I can't believe the team that I just watched this past year Empty Arena empty team to go with it no leadership no nothing. Today we learned Jack eichel will most likely not be back with this team next season. We wasted the opportunity we had with him as well Sam Reinhart more than likely leave Buffalo as well. I was so excited when Terry pegula took over ownership of the Buffalo Sabres I said finally we have an owner would not only passion for the team but Deep Pockets he's going to make an immediate change in this franchise. Boy was I sadly mistaken I want my team back I want my city to be excited again when walking into this Arena just feels like a funeral or a week walking into First Niagara Center now excitement so long and dead. Maybe we need to resurrect the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium as well as this franchise
I was 8 so those are very key impressionable years for a young boy to develope a love for sports so that was awesome but wait! Not only did we get the Sabres but at the same time we got the NBA Buffalo Braves! Seems like a distant dream now that'll never happen again…
Not only did we get an expansion team in the Sabres Buffalo in the same year was awarded an NBA franchise in the Buffalo Braves…a city getting two pro expansion teams in the same year will never happen again…
The outdoor game in Hamilton Ontario at Tim Hortons field . It was amazing .
Love the original Sabres uniforms
Sorry, they did not mention Bob Swados in this documentary. He was the Buffalo attorney for the Knox’s who convinced the NHL to bring hockey to Buffalo. He was a brilliant sports/ corporate attorney and my mentor when I worked at his firm in Buffalo in the 1970s. Without him, there would be no Buffalo Sabres. Rest in peace, Bob.
