Let’s face it: the undeniable rivalry between the Boston Bruins and the Buffalo Sabres is a thing of beauty. It’s passion, it’s excitement, it’s… everything you could ask for. The hits, the checks, the passes, the goals all come together to put a great product on the ice, and this season, the rivalry will be just as sweet as ever.
Last season, the Bruins won three of four games against the Sabres, with Buffalo take the final meeting of the season.
It’s an interesting thing to observe, though. The first game of the season saw the Bruins shutout the Sabres by a score of 4-0, with Dougie Hamilton, Torey Krug, Zdeno Chara and Carl Soderberg each scoring for Boston.
