10. Sabres score big in Columbus

Number 10 on the countdown was a fun game for every Sabres fan. Back in December, Buffalo took on the Columbus Blue Jackets. In a 9-4 Sabres win, Tage Thompson had one of the best games we have ever seen. He scored five goals, getting a hat trick in the first period.

At the end of the first period, the score was 6-0 Buffalo. It was an epic win and showed the world how good of a player Tage Thompson is.

9. Return of the Goatheads

The debut of the Goatheads is probably on a lot of Buffalo Sabres fans list. For the longest time, Blue and Gold fans have been asking the team to bring back the classic black Goathead jerseys. In the offseason, the team came in clutch and would bring them back as their alternate jerseys.

They would debut them against the St. Louis Blues and 18 seconds into the game, Jeff Skinner would open the scoring. Buffalo would go on to win the game 6-2 in the return of the Goatheads.
