Ever since he was hired to be the head coach of the Buffalo Bills, Rex Ryan has been pretty passionate about everything Buffalo.

Not only when it comes to the football team he's in charge of, but he's also repeatedly pledged his support at his weekly press conferences to the local NHL team, the Sabres. 

That continued on Thursday when he showed up to his media availibility decked out entirely in Sabres gear, including a hat and a jersey. 

And it most certainly is quite a big night in Buffalo as the Sabres not only kick off their 2015-16 season against the Ottawa Senators, but also welcome phenom prospect Jack Eichel to the NHL as the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft makes his NHL debut.

Along with Eichel, it will also be the Buffalo debut for several new members of the Sabres including Ryan O'Reilly, Evander Kane, Robin Lehner and head coach Dan Bylsma. 

After a couple of years of bad hockey, it's great to see Buffalo have reason to be optimistic about the Sabres again because it's one of the best hockey towns in the United States.
