Don Granato's victory speech after final game

The Sabres, led by head coach Don Granato, ended the 2021-22 campaign on a positive note and will look to build off their strong second half.
Buffalo finished last season with the seventh-best year-over-year points percentage improvement in franchise history (.127). The club's performance during the 2021-22 campaign marked the eighth time in franchise history and the first time since 2015-16 (.165) that the team has improved its year-over-year points percentage by at least .10.
Over the final 37 games of the season after the All-Star Break, the Sabres had a points percentage of .541 and won 17 games in regulation or overtime. At that pace over an 82-game schedule, they'd have 37.7 wins.
