@emilymkaplan @Buccigross Giancarlo’s is the BEST!

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@Killerdg93 @SabresGandhi @MikeGrinnell_ @spittinchiclets Sign Benson, we get Kulich back next year hopefully too

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@Killerdg93 @SabresGandhi @MikeGrinnell_ @spittinchiclets You have your D core locked up for 6 years with Dahlin, Power, Samuelson. Probably need to figure out next move on Byram… will Mrtka be ready and can Kesselring stay healthy and take a step

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@Killerdg93 @SabresGandhi @MikeGrinnell_ @spittinchiclets He’s an RFA so you could bridge him but I would prefer getting the 8 year deal now

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@Killerdg93 @SabresGandhi @MikeGrinnell_ @spittinchiclets Would need to move money out, greenway, danforth, Zucker. But benson is priority to sign. Have 2 more years of ELC on Ostlund and Helenius

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@Killerdg93 @SabresGandhi @MikeGrinnell_ @spittinchiclets Correct, just for next year and then it drops to 2.5

Benson/Xhejaj #bucciovertimechallenge

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@DanSmyz @Buccigross Love Helenius! It’s him or Benson!

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@23sabres That dive from Dobes was worse than Hutson!

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@23sabres He’s been doing it all series. Great hockey player but that’s embarrassing, play the game the right way

Olympic level diving by Montreal

[Buffalo Origin Story @BuffOriginStory]

Guess which one of these was a penalty

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@CMDeDominicis Disinterested? Use that money for Benson, Helenius, Kulich

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@CMDeDominicis @BizNasty2point0 They called it on Helenius which is insanely soft and ridiculous

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@Dan_Dunleavy Thank is even more ridiculous. Defensemen hit him from side into goalie

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

Montreals strategy and refs are letting them do it. NHL embarrassing itself @NHL @BizNasty2point0 @spittinchiclets

So who needs to be at Game 5?#LetsGoBuffalo #sabrehood

[Jeff Welch @JeffWelch05]

@stoolpresidente @ryanwhitney6 I think this clarifies that Buffalo is a hockey town

[Francis Daniels @FDaniels86]

Buffalo hasn't made the playoffs since 2011... but

• they were the largest U.S. market for the 2026 Olympic Gold Medal Game
• In 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 Stanley Cup Finals they were the largest local viewership from a neutral market
• In 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 they were the 3rd largest local viewership of any U.S. city for the complete postseason
• Game 1 tickets this year were $464 USD on average, the most of any team in the NHL
• they're projected as the largest U.S. market for the 2026 regular season

They're the most passionate American hockey city, hands down.
