Key Points:
- Before Game 5 of the Sabres-Bruins series, Sabres anthem singer Cami Clune experienced microphone issues during “O Canada,” but the crowd supported her by singing along, creating a heartwarming moment.
- The Canadian national anthem is traditionally sung before Sabres games due to Buffalo’s proximity to the Canadian border, regardless of the visiting team’s origin.
- The Sabres, who ended a 14-year playoff drought this season and won the Atlantic Division title, lost Game 5 to the Bruins 2-1 in overtime, with Boston’s David Pastrnak scoring the game-winner.
- Buffalo leads the first-round series 3-2, with Game 6 scheduled for Friday night in Boston, aiming for their first playoff series win since 2004.
- Rasmus Dahlin scored early for Buffalo, Elias Lindholm tied the game for Boston, and despite the loss, the Sabres continue their pursuit of advancing in the playoffs.
