I'm a Devils fan, but I lived in greater Buffalo during the '99 Stanley Cup Finals run.  That was absolutely electric, the entire city was following the team (I remember the city-specific ratings were absurd).  Morning meetings at work had to start with ten minutes talking about the either the game the previous night or the upcoming playoff game all spring, otherwise people weren't going to pay any attention in the meeting.  They would just want the meeting to end so they could talk about what really mattered, the Sabres.  When I'm in western NY I still see "No Goal" bumper stickers on cars made well after '99 - people had to have bought a lifetime supply with plans to put on every car they bought until the Sabres won the Cup.

I'd love to see the Sabres get into the playoffs and make a run - while people will disagree I think hockey is a bigger deal in Buffalo than any other American city (including Boston and Detroit) so the NHL is better when Buffalo is good.
