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 Bruins were responsible for three of those losses. It was a jinx that needed to end. 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.
Buffalo Sabres Rivals
The Buffalo Sabres have developed rivalries with multiple teams over the years. The rivalries against the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs however, stand out.
Sabres-Bruins Rivalry - The Buffalo Sabres and the Boston Bruins have been members of the same division ever since the former joined the NHL in the year 1970. The rivalry between these two sides really kicked off between 1982 and 1993 where these two sides met in the playoffs on six occasions. The Bruins won each of the first five series while the Sabres came out on top in 1993. They have since met twice in the playoffs. In 1999 the Sabres won whereas the Bruins won in 2010. That was the last time these two teams met in the postseason.
Sabres-Maple Leafs Rivalry - The Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs have a very heated rivalry which is known as the Battle of the QEW.

The Sabres and the Maple Leafs have met in the postseason only once and the former came out on top on that occasion. The Sabres also lead the Toronto Maple Leafs in the head to head record. The Maple Leafs however, have been the more successful of the two sides having won thirteen Stanley Cups compared to the Sabres’ zero.
