"I always thought we were going to be a blockbuster hit but it took some time," Hutton said of the gag finding new life a year later. "It was great. Just the whole initial video. I think people still call me Sutton, so it's kind of funny."
The pair have yet to meet but the appreciation is mutual.
"It's great. It's honestly one of the beautiful things about playing in Buffalo," Hutton said. "We've got sports fans through and through, whether it's the Bills or Sabres. Tre White's a character and he's a heck of a player. I try to stay a little more quiet; I'm more a character behind the scenes, I don't try to do it in the light but those guys are something else and they're playing well, so it's awesome."
Sabres coach Ralph Krueger told reporters on Monday that he sacrified some sleep to watch the end of the late game, but it was a necessary move for one of the newest members of the Bills Mafia, who has developed a special friendship with Bills coach Sean McDermott.
"Sean and I are passionate here, both of us, to get the sports community back on the track it deserves to be on in the area," Krueger said. "It's a lot of fun. Both of us are having a lot of fun in our work and I've become the biggest Bills fans out there -- Well, as big as anybody else. I'm sure there's bigger Bills fans out there, but I watched every second of every minute of every snap yesterday."
