Winning game 82 at home…priceless!
Sabres 5 – Flyers 4 (en) Buffalo scored first and never relinquished the lead in an entertaining end to the 2024-25 NHL regular season, the Sabres set the NHL regular season record for blocks by a forward (RW Tuch 113), perfect attendance goes to RW Tuch and Defenseman Byram who played in every game this year.
There was a coach’s challenge and disallowed goal, Center Krebs scored on a breakaway shorthanded earning Buffalo 10 shorthanded goals for the season, newcomer Center McLeod became a 20-goal scorer for the first time in his NHL career, RW Tuch scored 36 goals for the second time in his NHL career.
The Buffalo Sabres head coaching position after becoming a carousel of five different coaches over a dozen losing seasons hired Don Granato who coached the Sabres to consecutive winning seasons but barely missing the playoffs each time. Sadly & prematurely, the Sabres fired him, imho.
The Sabres showed towards the end of this year what we can expect to see in the 2025-26 NHL regular season, a winning season and securing a playoff seeding, nothing less will suffice.
