We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Go Sabres Go — The Sabres are not uniquely the oldest active NHL franchise never to have won the Stanley Cup; the Vancouver Canucks share that distinction.
Go Sabres Go — The Sabres' longest playoff drought was 12 seasons (2010–11 to 2022–23), not 14 seasons.
First Niagara Center — The NHL draft combine has never been held at KeyBank Center; the NHL Scouting Combine has been held at various locations, but not annually at KeyBank Center since 2015.
KeyBank Center — The arena's naming rights were sold to Marine Midland Bank in 1996 for 30 years: This is incorrect. The naming rights deal with Marine Midland Bank was for 20 years, not 30 years.
KeyBank Center — The arena's capacity of 19,070 is symbolic of the team's founding in 1970: This is a commonly repeated but unsubstantiated claim; the actual capacity has varied over time and is not officially tied to the founding year. It is not a confirmed fact.
WGR Radio — The entry states that WGR's FM simulcast is on an HD Radio digital subchannel of WSKE, but WSKE is not a real call sign in the Buffalo market; the correct call sign for the HD subchannel is likely WGRF or another Audacy station.
WGR Radio — The entry refers to 'The Buffalo Daily Courier and Enquirer' as a single entity, but the correct names are the 'Buffalo Daily Courier' and the 'Buffalo Enquirer' as separate newspapers.
WBEN-TV — The entry states that Nexstar's Tegna subsidiary owns NBC affiliate WGRZ, but Tegna Inc. is a separate company not owned by Nexstar.
WBEN-TV — The lore states that WBEN radio (930 AM and 106.5 FM) is now WBKV at 102.5, but WBEN 930 AM is still WBEN, 106.5 FM is now WYRK, and 102.5 FM is a separate station not a direct successor.
Dave Hynes — Dave Hynes was not the original play-by-play broadcaster for the Buffalo Sabres; the original was Ted Darling, who started in 1970-71. Hynes joined in 1972-73 as a color commentator.
Dave Hynes — Hynes left the play-by-play chair after the 1978-79 season, not in 1980; Ted Darling returned for the 1979-80 season.
Buffalo News — The Buffalo News was not 'for decades the only paper fully owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway' because Berkshire Hathaway owned several newspapers, including the Omaha World-Herald and others.
92.3 The Fan — The claim that the Sabres ended a 14-season playoff drought on April 4, 2026, clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2011 is an invented future event with no basis in established canon.
92.3 The Fan — The claim that the Sabres won their first division title since 2009–10 in 2025–26 is an invented future event.
