Buffalo Sabres history
Buffalo got its NHL team in 1970, when the league grew to 14 clubs and added the Sabres and the Vancouver Canucks at the same time. For their first decades the Sabres played at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. In 1996 they moved to KeyBank Center, which seats 19,070. Terry Pegula bought the team from Tom Golisano in 2011.
Twice the Sabres have reached the Stanley Cup Final. In 1975 they fell to the Philadelphia Flyers, and in 1999 they lost to the Dallas Stars. Along with Vancouver, they are the oldest active NHL clubs that have never won the Cup. Buffalo also went 14 seasons in a row without a playoff trip, the longest such streak in league history.
