The Buffalo Sabres will play the Montreal Canadiens in Round 2. Game 1 on Wednesday in Buffalo. This should be a hell of a series and quite the scene. nytimes.com/athletic/72485…

Man disadvantage in Buffalo. Sabres advance to 2nd round despite anemic power-play production apnews.com/article/sabres…

@LeighGiangreco Thank you, Leigh!

@ByTimGraham I’ve cried at every story about this and yours is no exception, Tim! Great writing, as always.

“This is kind of the equivalent of 19,000 people pulling over in a snowstorm to help somebody whose car is stuck in a snowbank. “That’s just what people here do.” nytimes.com/athletic/72424…

We can debate which second round matchup is better for the Sabres. But why I think Buffalo-Montreal would be better for the sport and its fans nytimes.com/athletic/72485…

On the road back here and reflecting on how special this community is. You guys all made this happen, and I will never be able to thank you enough for it. No other fanbase or community like ours, and I’m so proud to be a part of it with you.

Inside a cathartic series clinching win for the Sabres. It started with a cancelled skate and ended with Lindy Ruff high-fiving fans at the airport. In between, Sabres stars showed up and Josh Doan made the play of his life. "It's one step. That's it." nytimes.com/athletic/72477…

Did you know? I’m almost 900 combined NHL games Kevyn Adams and Matt Ellis scored 0 PPG?
