Buffalo Sabres History
The Sabres joined the NHL in the 1970 expansion, and just two years later embarked on a streak that saw them reach the playoffs in 12 of the next 13 seasons. Leading the way were "The French Connection" line of Hall of Fame center Gilbert Perreault, left-wing Rick Martin, and right-wing René Robert. The Quebec-born trio was together in Buffalo from 1972 through 1979. Aided by Craig Ramsay, the Sabres and their French Connection advanced to the 1975 Stanley Cup Final in their fifth season, though they fell in six games to the Philadelphia Flyers.
In the following 10 seasons, all of which resulted in playoff berths, the Sabres captured two division titles. Fueled by defenseman (and former U.S. Olympic star) Mike Ramsey, the Sabres made nine playoff appearances between the 1981–1982 and 1991–1992 seasons. Later, during goaltender Dominik Hasek's nine seasons, the Sabres continued to be a consistent playoff team. In 1999, they dispatched the Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs to again reach the Stanley Cup Finals, where they fell to the Dallas Stars in six games.
In 2006 and 2007 the Sabres made it as far as the conference finals before succumbing to the Carolina Hurricanes and Ottawa Senators, respectively. To date, the Sabres have been in the playoffs 29 times, winning six divisional championships and three conference titles.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 5 out of 5 NHL at Pegula
by TravisHack72 on 9/22/17Pegula Ice Arena - University ParkThe seats we had for this event were amazing 6 row up directly behind the net. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Concessions were great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall an awesome experience.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Pittsburgh/Wilkes Barre vs Buffalo
by OldAlum on 9/22/17Pegula Ice Arena - University ParkPegula is the best venue to watch hockey. Pens didn't bring best players and Buffalo brought best player and others. Both teams played harder than I expected for first preseason game and it was enjoyable.

by lbk1111 on 9/22/17Pegula Ice Arena - University Parkvery disappointing that the pens left most of their core players home; and no stanley cup; prices for seats and parking a joke against this background.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Good game, great venue
by RevGregory on 9/30/16Pegula Ice Arena - University ParkSure, it was a preseason game where most of the star players were not in attendance, but being a Sabres fan living in PA it was awesome too get to see them so close to home. Our seats were on the glass behind the goal, not great for watching the entire game but amazing when play is taking place and they are fighting for the puck literally right in front of you. If you haven't visited Pegula it's an incredible, state-of-the-art facility and I don't think there's truly a bad seat to be had.
