| Season | Record | Summary |
| 79-80 | 28-42-10 | Buffalo’s first season as parent, No playoffs |
| 80-81 | 30-42-8 | No playoffs |
| 81-82 | 40-31-9 | 9 playoff games including my first one |
| 82-83 | 46-25-9 | CUP! Powerhouse after bad start. Offensive juggernaut. Oh that PP! |
| 83-84 | 46-32-2 | Cup loss to Maine as Crow return. First season I went to at least 20 games. |
| 84-85 | 40-27-13 | First round and out to Skipjacks, Buffalo bought team, Schonny called up and Boxie era begin. |
| 85-86 | 34-39-7 | No playoffs, ridiculous injuries, Gardner’s 60, Gage’s first season here |
| 86-87 | 47-26-7 | CUP! Got better and better all season. Amazing final series against Sherbrooke. |
| 87-88 | 46-26-8 | First round and out to Adirondack in an awesome 7 game set. Not a complete failure. |
| 88-89 | 38-37-5 | About as enjoyable of a non-playoff season you could ever have because they came back from an 0-10 start. Metter-Kerr-Ray line gave fans something to embrace. |
| 89-90 | 43-28-9 | Cup loss to Springfield. Wayne McBean was dating my girl Allyssa Milano and scored the clincher against my team! |
| 90-91 | 45-26-9 | Cup loss to Springfield part II. Officiating was suspicious. |
| 91-92 | 37-31-12 | Pre-final mini round loss to Adirondack. Strong playoff run. Rick Vaive said it was the most fun he ever had. |
| 92-93 | 40-33-7 | Cup loss to Powerhouse McDougall and Cape Breton. Ollie the Goalie led medicore team to stunning upset of AHL’s best team ever. |
| 93-94 | 31-34-15 | Hated this team until Metter returned. Swept in first round by Hershey. |
| 94-95 | 35-38-7 | Nice to have Metter back full-time, but team wasn’t very good. First round and out to Bingo |
| 95-96 | 37-34-9 | CUP! Donner bought team..signed Charron, Metter, Frawley locally..urged signings of Dane Jackson and Terry Hollinger. Last place in January, amazing cup ru. |
| 96-97 | 40-30-10 | Metter’s best season. Spengler Cup. One game away from final four. Hasn’t been another season as satisfying for me since. |
| 97-98 | 30-38-12 | McCutcheon and injuries ruined a good thing. First round and out to Philly. Metter and Frawls both exit. |
| 98-99 | 52-21-7 | Donner bought an all-star team. Lost in finals to Providence |
| 99-00 | 46-22-12 | Donner buys another all-star team. Got all the calls in the first two rounds. Lost to Hartford in finals as Rochester fans stooped to low of booing as Frank was skated with. |
| 00-01 | 46-22-12 | First round and out to Philly in Cunneyworth’s first year. This was beginning of pretty poor stretch of hockey. |
| 01-02: | 32-30-18 | Lost in qualifying round in an extremely bland season |
| 02-03: | 31-30-19 | Lost in qualifying round to Milwaukee in another bland season |
| 03-04: | 37-28-15 | Made franchise proud coming back from 3-1 deficit to defeat Crunch IN Syracuse in game 7 with 2k+ Amerk fans there. Lost in 3rd round. |
| 04-05: | 51-19-1 | Lock-out year. Lost in second round to Moose very weakly. Attendance in playoffs was franchise bad |
| 05-06: | 37-39-4 | Dual affiliation began. Missed playoffs completely |
| 06-07: | 48-30-2 | Very good team with a great goalie in Anderson was one and done in the playoffs to Hamilton in 6. Really felt this was a missed opportunity. Bolstered on blueline by both parents. |
| 07-08: | 24-46-10 | Worst season ever. Nothing else needs to be said. A real assault on Amerk pride. |
| 08-09: | 29-43-8 | Florida’s first season. 3-18 start due to CBT’s goaltending, 0-6-2 beginning of March due to injuries, doomed the rest of the effort. December – February was actually aggressive successful hockey, though. |
| 09-10: | 44-33-3 | A wasted season. The vets vs. the coach. End result a blown 3-1 lead to Abbotsford in first round. Maybe biggest waste of season ever. Plante starts game 1 we are in 2nd round. Nolan replaces Groulx we have cup run. |
| 10-11: | 31-39-10 | The Coulda/Woulda/Shoulda season. Roster instability and general lack of skill players highlighted by a 1 win March made this perhaps most disappointing team ever for me. |
