2. Craig Anderson’s emotional sendoff
Win Number Two was an emotional one. Not only was it the Buffalo Sabres last home game of the season, but it was also Craig Anderson’s final game of his career. Casey Mittelstadt would score the game winning goal as the team mobbed Anderson with hugs.
The ending was very cool as the Ottawa Senators, the team that Anderson played for most of his career, would shake his hand and the crowd would give him one big standing ovation as his family would watch on the ice.
1. Buffalo Sabres WILD night against the Wild
We have finally made it! My favorite Sabres win came against the Minnesota Wild. Trailing 5-4 late in the game, Rasmus Dahlin would tie the game up 5-5 in the dying minutes. With under 30 seconds to go in overtime, Victor Olofsson would score the game-winning goal.
This was my favorite game because of the crowd noise and how the game ended. It was fun watching on TV, I can’t imagine how much fun it was inside the building.
