I generally avoid Facebook links, but this was the only place I could find this video. Too cool not to share

Just to pick some nits, but that isn’t rappelling. The old Sabretooth used to rappel. He was awesome.

That is just Sabretooth being lowered by a winch. We’re seeing it in other arenas now, as well.

And he used to wear feet with blades! I still lose my mind for it just like I did as a kid, but definitely not rappelling.

😂 It really is cool. Our old Sabretooth was pretty amazing and, I’m sure, started this trend. Not surprised that others have adopted (stolen) this idea.

If I remember correctly, OG Sabretooth was a military vet of some kind and the whole rappelling thing was his idea?

It’s hard to get your rocks off once you get out. He’s a smart man if that’s the case.

That or it was an insurance thing as less chance of injury being lowered vs rapelling.

The Sabres are 2-0 in home playoff games this year when SabreTooth makes an entrance from the rafters.

They are 0-3 when he doesn’t.

I picked up on this, too. They’re nuts if he doesn’t come down game 5.
