The Buffalo Sabres’ pre-game video against the Winnipeg Jets this afternoon was nothing short of epic.

The team linked up with EA sports to produce an intro video that uses footage from games that dates all the way back to 1993.

Over the course of the video, the graphics gradually get better and better. Some serious throw-back players were shown, including former Sabres forward Maxim Afinogenov.

And of course, they threw in some more relevant footage, too.

Props to the Sabres for the incredible idea.
