Lindy Ruff’s four-goal night! On December 15, 1985, he scored four times in Buffalo’s 6-2 win over Quebec at the Aud. Three came in the second period, including the game winner. It was his second and final NHL hat trick. #Sabres #NHLHistory

The Sabres were down 2-0 in the second and beat the Wild 3-2 in overtime; at their low point the model gave them 7%. Game of the day: Hughes (Alpha 96), Dahlin (Alpha 94) in a one-goal headliner.

#Sabres Summary - Game 3 (2-1-0)
MIN 2-3 BUF (OT)
-that was excellent hockey from both teams, and shitty hockey from the stripes
-Dahlin vs Hughes was electric
-Power was been the best player on the ice by like a lot
-Ellis was great
-Crevier was good too
-Nobody was bad? Even PP & PK played well

@jimbo716.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 1:50 AM

So glad I stuck with that Sabres game after wanting to turn it off frustrated down 2-0. THAT'S the kind of win you build upon; that we had all over the place last season. They think they can win every night, even when they're down. Big Dubs!

The extra beauty of playing "Give It To Me, Baby" by Rick James to celebrate the goal.

Make it ALL Buffalo!!!

I think...I think that the home-ice curse is over for the Sabres. Last season, they could NOT seem to win at home and this season, their first game was an away game and they lost. Their 2 home games? They won.

Keep it up, fellas.
