Collection: Buffalo Sabres Hockey Cards

Buffalo Sabres hockey cards feature iconic players like Dominik Hašek and Pat LaFontaine, along with modern rookies like Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and Tage Thompson. Dahlin’s Young Guns rookie card has become a must-have for collectors, while Power's cards are highly anticipated. Autographs, rookie patches, and Young Guns editions of emerging Sabres stars remain popular among collectors and team loyalists.

The Buffalo Sabres, founded in 1970 alongside the Vancouver Canucks, have built a history featuring superstar scorers, Hall of Fame goaltending, and memorable playoff runs while still seeking their first Stanley Cup championship. The franchise’s early years were defined by the “French Connection” line of Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin, and René Robert, whose skill and chemistry powered Buffalo to its first Stanley Cup Final in 1975, though the Sabres fell to the Philadelphia Flyers in six games. Perreault, the franchise’s first superstar, became Buffalo’s all-time leading scorer and a Hall of Famer, cementing the team’s identity as an offensive powerhouse through the 1970s. The 1980s and 1990s brought legendary goaltender Dominik Hašek, nicknamed “The Dominator,” whose acrobatic style and six Vezina Trophies made him one of the greatest goalies in NHL history. Hašek carried the Sabres to the 1999 Stanley Cup Final behind coach Lindy Ruff and stars like Michael Peca and Miroslav Šatan, falling to the Dallas Stars in a controversial Game 6 overtime goal known as the “No Goal” incident. The 2000s featured scoring stars Daniel Brière, Chris Drury, and goaltender Ryan Miller, whose stellar play led Buffalo to back-to-back Eastern Conference Finals in 2006 and 2007. Despite rebuilding years in the 2010s, modern Sabres teams feature young talents like Rasmus Dahlin, the dynamic defenseman, Tage Thompson, a breakout goal scorer, and Owen Power, the 2021 No. 1 overall pick, aiming to return Buffalo to playoff contention. From the French Connection to Hašek’s dominance and today’s young core, the Sabres’ history blends offensive firepower, legendary goaltending, and one of the NHL’s most loyal fan bases still awaiting the franchise’s first Stanley Cup title.
