Buffalo Sabres Tickets Information
From the beginning the Buffalo Sabres had the eyes on making history, picking Gilbert Perreault as the team's very first draft pick. Center Perreault went on to make 38 goals his rookie year and eventually wound up in the NHL Hall of Fame. His record was broken the very next year by Rick Martin, who made
44 goals in that, his first, season as a Sabre.

Will this be the year? How will you feel if it is and you aren't there rink-side to catch all the action? To keep that from happening, get your Buffalo Sabres tickets now. Martin and late-season Pittsburgh Penguins trade Rene Robert became a forward line to be reckoned with, later dubbed "The French Connection", who lasted together for a decade until the Colorado Rockies took Roberts in a 1980 trade and the Los Angeles Kings got Martin in 1981.

Whether it's at their home at HSBC Arena (which they share with the Buffalo Bandits lacrosse team) or in any of their away games, you'll thrill at the coaching of former Sabre left wingman himself (as well as former New York Ranger) Lindy Cameron Ruff. Before coming on as Head Coach of the Sabres in 1997, Ruff was Assistant Coach of the Florida Panthers from 1993-97, ending his stint with them with a Stanley Cup win. Ruff has the distinction of being the 31st coach to win 300 games and only the 16th to do it with just one hockey team.

The Buffalo Sabres is an inspired team to watch, as led by co-captains and centres, French-Canadian Daniel Brière and Connecticut-born Chris Drury. Also check out star players Ryan Miller and Maxim Afinogenov tearing up the ice (and the other teams).

2005-06 was the Buffalo Sabres' best season in 20 years, with the team consistently staying near or at the top of the standings. They clinched the spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs, made it to the Finals against the Carolina Hurricanes, and ended a record-breaking season with 25 road wins (a record for the Sabres franchise) and 110 points (their first season in 23 years scoring 100 points or more) and tied their 1979-80 record for best point total in the history of the franchise.

At the most recent NHL Awards Ceremony, Coach Ruff won Coach of the Year, receiving the Jack Adams Award, beating out the Stanley Cup winning team, the Hurricane's coach Peter LaViolette 155-154.
