There are two sides of the reaction on social media platform X coming from this series, which ended in six games at TD Garden.
On one side, Sabres fans continue to ride the high from making the playoffs, winning Game 1 in a dramatic comeback and now taking their first-round series.
"I don't think I even had social media the last time we won a playoff series! Let's keep it going!" @tom28620112 posted.
Does Lindy Ruff deserve the Jack Adams Award?"There are not enough tables in this city for what's about to go down," @LuckyRebel__ reacted.

Buffalo Sabres Blueliners Are The Bruins' KryptoniteThe Buffalo Sabres are winning their first-round playoff series against Boston in part because their defensemen are dominating on offense and defense.On the other hand, Bruins fans are deeply disappointed in the team's performance in this opening series.
Boston wasn't able to earn a victory at home, and fans targeted the poor defense standing in front of Vezina Trophy finalist Jeremy Swayman.
With that came some complaints about the organization's front office, and some Bruins supporters are looking for change.
"Hang your heads in shame! That was a pitiful 3rd period! How about some effort and some forechecking. You gave up. You suck!" @dapperrync reacted on X.
"Sweeney and Neely are the sole reason this team will never raise a Cup fire them both give it up to someone who didn't play hockey with a wooden stick for crying out loud," @PrestonA5679 said.
"Will you guys fire the front office already," @JL_Smith91 posted on X.
"Common occurrence with this front office 10 years plus running of losing biggest games at home and no duck boats needed," @po_sherlock wrote.
"Sucked big time...Swayman can't do everything by himself...so sad!" @fpietran123 said.
"Hold Sweeney and Neely accountable for once," @zlynch66 reacted.
The Sabres await the winner of Sunday's Game 7 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens.
