Talk:Buffalo Sabres

message: Why is the teams nickname the "Sabres" & not the "Sabers"? The latter would seem to be closer to US spelling.
::Interesting question, maybe there is some interesting trivia as to why it was settled on as Sabres instead of sabers, if you can find something notable to add to the article I doubt anybody would find exception and revert it. Be BOLD in your editing!EliteArcher88 (talk) 18:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The Sabres got their name in 1969 from Toronto filmmaker Harry Cole, who entered the suggestion in a name-the-team contest hosted by Seymour Knox III and Northrup Knox, the founding owners of the franchise. Because of this and in honor of our close neighbors to the north, Knox III chose to utilize the Canadian English spelling of the word. 2603:7080:C103:CC71:8805:1C64:1E66:E74B (talk) 11:12, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

message: The wiki page states the Sabres have been to the Stanley Cup finals three times. This is false, they have only been twice. During the 1979-1980 season, the Stanley Cup finals was between the New York Islanders and the Philadelphia Flyers. 47.14.240.135 (talk) 01:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Where does it say that they were finalists three times?   Ravenswing      04:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the confusion comes from the fact that the Sabres have 3 Conference Championships, but that's because the Prince of Wales Trophy was awarded to the regular season conference champs between 1974 and 1981, so despite the fact that they didn't make the finals in 1979-1980, they were still considered Conference Champions.

replies: text: Oh, I'm pretty sure that's what it was.  It's just one of the several issues bedeviling hockey articles (Montreal's number of Cups/league championships, Tigers/Americans/Sharks/Barons/Seals, Black Hawks/Blackhawks, award eligibility) from people unaware that the rules and practices governing the NHL in 2024 weren't necessarily in force for the hundred-plus years prior.
