The league cited both “continuing weather-related difficulties in the Greater Buffalo area and out of respect for the fans of the Sabres.” A Buffalo-Kent State game has already been rescheduled.
The next logical question: What happens to Bills-Jets on Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium? Governor Andrew Cuomo has weighed in, and he thinks it shouldn’t be played. A travel ban in the area has slowed efforts to clear Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The NHL can simply reschedule Sabres-Rangers for later in the season; the NFL doesn’t have that luxury. The backup plan could be playing Monday in Pittsburgh or Detroit, according to the Buffalo News.
