Buffalo Is BUZZING… Are The Sabres Legit Contenders?? | FN Barn Burner
Boomer, Pinder and Rhett react to one of the wildest NHL games in recent memory as the Buffalo Sabres pull off a chaotic 8–7 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in a game that had everything—five fights, 105 penalty minutes and multiple momentum swings. After blowing a 3–0 lead and trailing twice in the third period, Buffalo showed a level of grit and pushback the team hasn’t displayed in years. The guys debate whether this type of win could be a turning point for the Sabres as they sit atop the Atlantic Division and push for their first playoff appearance since 2011, and whether Buffalo might actually be turning into a legitimate threat in the East.

I can't decide if I'm cheering for the Habs, Kadri or the Sabres…
Go sabres. Wish you could get out there Rhett, McKee and rayzor. This game was just awesome. I kept waiting to see the screen show the fans outside celebrating 🎉. Also if you guys get out to buffalo for 1st round, maybe Rhett can get the crowd going with the let's go buffalo drum. Thanks for the content fellas!
If they lost that game and Owen power walks out -4, 0,0,0, 0 pen minutes id be apoplectic
Dahlin had the gordie hat trick.
ooh ahh, Sabres on the WARPATH.
God, that looks awesome. As a bystander, I hope that team goes on a run.
And to think TB had their full line up, Sabres still waiting on 3 of the 4 players they traded for due to Visa hold ups. Stanley, Pearson and Schenn will be another layer to this team when they begin playing.
Sabres chased vas last game
CINDERELLA STORY for sure!!!
Sabres hit Rock bottom this season on December 8th. They were on a 3 game losing streak and lost 5 of their last 7. Last in the conference, 3rd last in the league in the standings. Negative 16 goal differential. 11 wins and 18 losses (11-14-4).
Since then, 28 wins, 7 losses (28-5-2) with a plus 47 goal differential over those 35 games. Thats a 136 point pace over almost half a season after starting out as one of the worst teams in the league.
Remember, Buffalo was the #1 market in terms of Olympic hockey viewership. This is a crazy passionate hockey market. So happy to be part of this fanbase, throughout the ups and downs!
Buffalo chased Vasi in Tampa…..
Don't overpay Tuck. You need money for Bensen.
Sabres fan in St Petersburg….I went to the game, in Tampa, a week ago. (Which I do every year when the Sabres come to town) What a fun game!
As a Lightning fan, I am extremely happy for sabres fans after a gruelling decade and half of suffering. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #GoBolts 🫡
HELL NO WHY WOULD THE HOTTEST TEAM IN THE NHL SINCE DECEMBER IN 1ST PLACE IN THEIR DIVISION BE A LEGIT CONTENDER DUMBASS!! STUPIDITY ABOUNDS ON YOUTUBE!! YOUR THE KING!!
Tampa has to come to Buffalo in a week and those two giant D they just traded for may have an answer to those fights 5:19
Believing in the GMs message is the biggest difference.
You boys come down and I’ll buy the wings!
Rick Jeannerete smiling down from heaven.
awesome takes and thanks for the kind commentary from a Sabres fan.
Can they relocate to Toronto 😂 , wait don’t want to ruin the team
Move over Bills Mafia 😂
I actually stopped watching the Dallas Stars game, and watched the rest of the Buffalo last night. That was a highly entertaining game, and I will say that was the game of the year so far.
Season ticket holder here. I am still high from being at the game last night. Havent felt this good about the sabres as long as I can remember.
People outside of Buffalo don’t understand how much we love hockey here. We’ve been begging to cheer for our Sabres for 14 years. That’s why last night was so incredible. I’ve been to 5 games a year through the entire drought. It’s been awful. Not a single memorable game the entire time. I was there last night and it was the greatest sporting event I’ve ever been to.
Difference about not winning the fights is that last year, no one would of stood up for anyone else. Thompson got leveled and the entire team was embarrassed they did nothing. You have to stand up for your teammates even if you do not think you can win.
Wait until stanley and schenn are in the line up vs tampa
If Ruff isnt coach of the year something is wrong
