When was the last time Buffalo Sabres fans were genuinely sad to see the team’s season come to an end? It feels like... it’s been a while, right?

While this season certainly had its up and downs, its highs and lows, its surprises - good and bad, in the end, what came out of it was a truly special group of players that helped revive the city of Buffalo’s love of hockey.
The energy around this team became palpable as the season went on.
