Sabres Fans <http://www.sabrefans.com/>The Sabresfans website has countless facts and trivial knowledge regarding the storied organization. Their most popular feature incorpotates the use of a message board which particularly gets extremely popular while the season approaches the trade deadline.
The Sabres Alumni <http://www.sabresalumni.com/home.php>"The Buffalo Sabres Alumni Association was founded in 1988.
