The Buffalo Sabres brought in the most popular athlete in the city to fire up the crowd before Game 2 of their playoff series against the Boston Bruins.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, wearing Alex Tuch's No. 89, had the honor of banging the drum for the Sabres on Tuesday night, leading the chant of "Let's go Buffalo!" After his final hit, Allen tossed the drumstick aside and pulled out what appeared to be a beer from his back pocket. He proceeded to chug the drink (most of it anyway), to roars of approval from the crowd.
The Sabres, who last made the playoffs in 2011, entered Tuesday's game with a 1-0 lead in the series after a dramatic comeback victory in Game 1.
