Our local pro hockey team, Buffalo Sabres have ended a 14 yr drought are headed to the playoffs-YEAH!
They made the remarkable turn around in Dec, they were in last place in the Atlantic division, then put together a 10 game winning streak started climbing up to the top. They won the division, ended the season with 50 wins, 23 losses 109 points
I'm thrilled for the team,,players, head coach, Lindy Ruff{ his 2nd time as coach} long suffering fans, what this is doing for the city
I've been watching them on /off for years,when Lindy was hired in 2024 I figured maybe he could motivate the team,he certainly has this yr
My brother who lives out of state called me out of the blue a couple weeks ago asking if I wanted to go to a Sabres playoff game.I said' Yes',sometime this upcoming weekend, he ,my nephew, Jay, close friends, Marcia&Dave &I will be at the 1st game.The team will be playing Boston Bruins. The last time I was at a Sabres game was back in the 70's Sue
 
I was at the game last night with my brother, John,nephew, Jay close friends, Marcia&Dave and son Alexei.
John got us great seats on the 1st level about 15 rows up from rinkside,the atmosphere was loud, bosterous, 1st time John&I had been to Sabres game since the 70's
For the 1st 2 periods Bruins was the better team they outplayed the Sabres until 8 min left in the 3rd period when things turned around. When Tage Thompson scored the 1st goal bedlam, and when he scored 2nd goal everybody went crazy.When Samuelson scored the go ahead goal,I can;t describe it was awesome
The team needs to change few things if they want to advance to the 2nd round Sue
 
Last night I couldn't; stay awake in the 3rd period of Game 6 of Buffalo Sabres vs Boston Bruins in Boston
I'm happy the team won 4-1, advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs, for the 1st time in 20 yrs. They will play the winner of Montreal/Tampa Bay series
 
Last night, I watched 2nd period of Game 7 Bflo Sabres vs Montreal Canadiens,I thought the team outplayed Montreal in that period. I couldn't; stay awake to watch the end
I learned this morning they lost in OT 3-2,Montreal advances to play Carolina Hurricanes
The Sabres have nothing to be ashamed of,they made it into the playoffs for the 1st time in 14yrs, brought excitement for the city and especially the fans. I'm hoping next yr they'll make the playoffs again and advance farther than they did this yr
 
That's right @moviequeen1 ! Buffalo did the city of Buffalo & their fans proud. They were in it to the bitter end and played well. When it comes down to game 7 in overtime, well; it's then just a toss-up as to which team gets a lucky break first.
Actually, I don't like the Canadiens chances against Carolina & I doubt the Sabres would have been able to beat Carolina either. Anyway; it was a GREAT series. Probably the best so far in the playoffs!
