<td class="bodytext" align="left" valign="top">The Buffalo Sabres were a NHL expansion franchise awarded to Buffalo NY in 1970, after years of disappointment and rejection. The 1970 draft was a highlight in Sabres’ history, with the team winning the spin of a carnival wheel to take Gilbert “Mr. Hockey” Perreault as their first choice. Perrault would score 38 goals his rookie year, and go on to play 17 more seasons for Buffalo.<BR>
In the 1975 Stanley Cup playoffs the Sabres faced the Philadelphia Flyers. In the most exciting game of that series, played at the Memorial Auditorium, the fog was so thick the opposing goalies couldn’t see each other across the ice. Between play, players circled the ice waving towels. Regardless, Buffalo shut-out the Flyers to win their second straight Stanley Cup.<BR>
Since 1996 the Sabres have called the then new Marine Midland Arena home.<BR>
