Most Memorable Buffalo Sabres Moments

Chris Drury steps up for the Sabres - In the 2007 NHL playoffs, the Sabres were up against the formidable New York Rangers. The series was tied at 2-2 when the two teams moved to the HSBC Arena for Game 5 on May 4, 2007. Maxim Afinogenov scored the winning goal in four minutes and thirty nine seconds in overtime to win the game for the Sabres but it was Chris Drury’s goal that was more important. The Rangers were just seven seconds away from taking a 3-2 lead when Drury stepped up to score the goal that tied the game at 1-1. Had he not scored that goal, there would have been no heroics from Afinogenov. The Sabres won the next game to take the series 4-2.

May Day - The Buffalo Sabres came into the 1993 Divisional Semifinals against the Bruins on the back of suffering five straight eliminations at the exact same stage of the season over five years.

The Sabres took a 3-0 lead in the series and the two sides squared off at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium for Game 4. Brad May scored the winning goal in OT to ensure the Sabres’ progression past the Divisional playoffs finally. Rick Jeanneret’s iconic May Day! May Day! May Day! call has also gone down in history as one of the most memorable moments in NHL.
