The Buffalo Sabres, despite having suffered so many losses, have much to celebrate

For the Buffalo Sabres, 2021-22 has been a trying year for the franchise. However, three unforgettable moments occurred this season alone. In fact, all three of them occurred in March 2022.

And although the Sabres have seen far more bad than good over the last 15 seasons, they gave us plenty of unforgettable moments. From a Presidents’ Trophy in 2007 to an improbable game-winning goal this season, almost every trying year in recent Buffalo Sabres history has given us something.

In today’s slideshow, we will relive the top fifteen of those moments. Some, you probably look back fondly on and remember. Other moments on this list you may disagree with. However, they are significant in their own right.

There are probably a few snubs, as 15 NHL seasons, even for a bad team like the Sabres in that 15-season stretch, easily gives us hundreds of unforgettable moments. But the following 15 were either incredible, franchise-altering moves, career milestones, unforgettable events, or exciting winning streaks that still make us smile.

These top moments are not listed in any particular order except for the top moment. So think of this slideshow with one winner and 15 runner-ups. But for the sake of context, let’s start with one of the most recent top moments in franchise history. And in that moment, an aging player joined a rare club.

Let’s discover who cracked the list of top 15 moments in the last 15 seasons for the Buffalo Sabres to continue FanSided’s 15th anniversary celebration. Enjoy the slideshow!
