The Sabres made the difficult decision to move on from former captain and 2015 second overall pick Jack Eichel last season, but surprisingly, they've actually been better since.
Through the first 8 games of the season this year they are 5-3-0 and holding the 3rd place spot in the division.
While none of us knows what goes on behind the scenes, it's almost like it's been a breath of fresh air to the Sabres when Eichel left and they've been playing free and a lot more like a team.
This past Saturday they beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in Overtime in the Sabres arena, and while they were saluting their fans, someone decided to give them a little give to remember the victory.
One hilarious fan decided to throw a big dildo onto the ice, which Rasmus Dahlin was quick to give it a shot down the ice.
