WARPATH
GG Buffalo! We came out flat in the first and you punished us and kept control of the game. That's not a team anyone should look forward to facing in the playoffs! Good luck until we meet again.
Now that ladies and gentlemen is what you call a statement win. Now, let’s see if the Sabres can slay the Knights next. Swords up! ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
This Sabres team has been so fun to watch!!!! Finally gonna do this playoff stuff?? ON A WARPATH OUT 4 BLOOD
Go Sabres go, good win on the road, loving this team, it was a good day, my Kings also won today
Hell yeah!! 👏🏼
GO SABRES!!!! 💪🏼
F I N A L L Y 🔥 if u been a Sabres fan 47 yrs or so like me, you understand 😉🤭
I genuinely believe if the Sabres weren’t so miserable on the power play other teams wouldn’t be so chippy with them. Didn’t seem like the lightning were even a little worried about taking a penalty
KeyBank Center is going to be absolutely buzzing. So proud to be a fan of this team and loving the guys sticking up for each other. Something we haven’t seen in so long.
Man, those Sabres were on fire!
thanks buffalo for helping us caniacs enjoy the top of the east 🤝
Sabres own the lightning!! The Sabres are going to go farther in the playoffs more than people think
They came out playing so well. Just crisp all over the ice
Sabres on fire. These Florida announcers are trash lol
After 15 depressing years of watching every single Sabres game—it’s finally happening. The boys in blue and gold are going to be in the playoffs!!!
In the words of the late great Rick Jeannerte:
THESE SABRES ARE GOOD! SCARY GOOD!!
The Sabres seem like a good bet for this year's Stanley Cup. Me a Caps fan. Go and win first Cup. Be healthy.
NHL is on notice. Sabres are on a warpath.
I'm not even a Tampa Bay fan, but there's no way that goal was a "distinct kicking motion" at 8:27. That was a bad call by the situation room.
Respect for the sabers from Carolina. Finally can enjoy 1st in the east
Go Sabs!!
LFG BUFFALO!!! WOW
🟦🟨🦬⚔️🏒🫡
This is my team 🎉
Never heard announcer get that excited for a 6-2 goal for losing team.
It's been too long since we've been able to watch such a dominant team that can take on any team in the league. To borrow an expression, "these guys are good, scary good "!
Cooper, you gonna blame 5×5 for losing?
This is what happens when the Sabres put it all together. These Guys are Good, scary good! Let's Go Buffalo! ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
Go Sabres! 🦬 ⚔️
Playoff??? We’re going for the CUP!
Atta boy powers trying to deflect your goal into your own net and then just stand around. When are we getting rid of this guy? 1050
Buffalo was Sharp on the road. Solid performance. Buffalo dominated from the beginning.
