The French Connection line of Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin and Rene Robert gave Buffalo's identity its shape soon after the Sabres joined the NHL in 1970. The club has played at KeyBank Center since the arena opened under a different sponsor name in 1996, wearing a royal blue and gold that nods back to its earliest years. Deep playoff runs still define fan expectations.
