‘The wrong colour blue’: Buffalo Sabres eyeing ticket restrictions to deter visiting Leafs fans
It’s not just Leafs fans; the Sabres are looking to cut down on ticket sales to visiting fans — likely by zip code — hoping to cheer on their team at KeyBank Center in Buffalo.

“Obviously last year, there were a handful of games where we saw the wrong colour blue or the wrong colour red coming into the building, depending on the jersey we were wearing,” Frank Batres-Landaeta, the team’s vice president of sales and service, told The Buffalo News.
Last year, the Sabres had a decent road record — winning 25 of 41 — but were done in by a 17-20-4 home record. The low point, a 6-3 loss to the Leafs on Feb. 21 with the house leaning 80 per cent in favour of the Leafs.
