On February 22, 2011, Terry Pegula sat before the Buffalo media and proclaimed with great confidence that the tide was beginning to turn for his newly purchased hockey franchise.
“Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres reason for existence will be to win a Stanley Cup.”
Fast forward ten years to today, February 22, 2021.
One could argue that the Buffalo Sabres are actually further away from the Stanley Cup now than they were when Pegula originally made that proclamation.
In 729 games since Pegula officially took over the Sabres, they have amassed a record of 281-354-94.
