The Buffalo Sabres have not made the playoffs since the 2010-11 season. But they have given fans plenty to cheer for in the past.
The Buffalo Sabres have never won the Stanley Cup, and their last deep playoff run came in 2007. Currently in the midst of their longest playoff drought in franchise history, Sabres fans have had little to cheer for lately.
However, the organization has a budding nucleus of young players like Owen Power in the college ranks, J.J. Peterka in the AHL, and Rasmus Dahlin at the game’s top level. So there is reason for hope in the not-so-distant future.
Yet until the young talent meshes at the NHL level, let’s relive some of the most exciting seasons in Buffalo Sabres history. They have given fans plenty to cheer for over the past 50-plus seasons, but the following seasons stand out more than the others.
Prepare for a healthy dose of nostalgia reliving some of the team’s glory days. Starting with a year in which they won the Presidents’ Trophy.
