Sabres Daily: Sabres Very Forgettable; Johnson Football Owner

The Buffalo Sabres have been around since 1970, but apparently, hockey fans can’t seem to remember that they exist.

The PennStakes website analyzed the results of an NHL Teams Quiz on Sporcle, giving people five minutes to name all 32 teams, and the Sabres were the second-most forgettable franchise. 

The Nashville Predators remembered 72% of the time, were the most forgettable, while Buffalo was ranked second at 72.5%.
