The 2004–05 Buffalo Sabres season was to be the 35th for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on May 22, 1970.[1] The season was cancelled as the 2004–05 NHL lockout could not be resolved in time to save the season.

Farm teams

The Sabres AHL affiliate Rochester Americans played with a roster that included many future Sabres. Thomas Vanek, Derek Roy, Ryan Miller and Jason Pominville among others, played the season in Rochester. HSBC Arena (now the First Niagara Center) hosted a pair of Rochester games experimenting with blue ice to see if blue would make the television appearance better than white.[4] The blue ice experiment was ultimately not accepted in post lockout rule changes.[5]
