Sabres Get Saucy Ahead of NHL Schedule Release

As any team would, the Sabres also took the opportunity to poke fun at some of their opponents. The Toronto Maple Leafs wing, for example, is titled "Choking Hazard," obviously referring to their repeated failures in the postseason.

The Dallas Stars wing - or rather, the lack thereof - just features sauce in front of a decorative goal, a reference to Brett Hull's controversial series-winning goal in Game 6 of the 1999 Stanley Cup Final against the Sabres.

Perhaps the funniest dig comes with the Ottawa Senators wing, which is literally just a normal chicken wing with no sauce appropriately titled "Plain." Clearly, the Sabres don't think their Atlantic Division foes are all that exciting.

There are plenty of other light-hearted jabs and references sprinkled throughout the post, but those are just a few of the highlights.

Of course, the Sabres haven't had much to celebrate over the past decade and a half. Their current 14-year playoff drought is the longest in NHL history, and after missing by just one point in 2023, they've only gone backwards, finishing 12 points outside the post season picture last season. After trading away young scoring forward J.J. Peterka, it seems like this could be another long season in Western New York.

If anything, at least the Sabres' social media team still knows how to have fun.
