It is quite the time to be a fan of the Buffalo Sabres, the Sabres also announced yesterday that they are officially looking for a name for their new DOG. They say the dog will be a new 'mascot' for the Buffalo Sabres. YOu can help the team and submit your vote. The 5 finalist names are Bert, Rick, Audie, Punch and Puck.
Bert is after Gilbert Perreault, the Sabres all-time leading goal scorer.
Rick is for Sabres play-by-play announcer Rick Jeanneret, who is in his last season in his career.
Audie, you may think or wonder if it was for former Buffalo Sabres player Donald Audette, but it is not. The nod is to the former arena 'The Aud'.
Punch is for Hall of Fame Sabres coach and general manager George “Punch” Imlach.
And puck? Well, it is the obvious reason, too.
