The Winter Olympics are still continuing in Italy, but it won’t be long before our Sabres are back together on the ice. If you’re hoping to find a place to go to cheer them on, the Sabres have created a Buffalo Sabres “Bar Network.”

There’s nothing like watching good hockey at a bar

People who have been Sabres fans for a long time might remember when the Sabres used to play meaningful games in June. The excitement in a bar when the Sabres are good is insane. We were watching at a bar when Pominville scored a shorthanded overtime goal in Game 5 of the 2006 Eastern Conference Semifinals to eliminate the Ottawa Senators. I’ll never forget that moment. It was insane.

The Sabres are trying to bring that feeling back

Unfortunately, the Sabres have struggled to provide that type of excitement for a long time now, but they’re trying to bring it back. Today they announced that they’ve teamed up with Labatt to name 10 bars that will create what they’re calling the Buffalo Sabres’ “Bar Network.” These bars and restaurants will have things to give out like t-shirts, tickets, and Beer Sabres (those big things that people drink out of at the games) during the games (while supplies last).

They also say that they’ll show all the games on their TVs with the volume on so you can get all the excitement of being at the game at a bar or restaurant close to you.
