Wyatt Russell celebrated the Buffalo Sabres’ first playoff appearance since 2011 with a jump into Lake Erie.<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON \u2014 “Marvel” actor Wyatt Russell didn’t believe the Buffalo Sabres would make the playoffs, and who could blame him when the NHL team’s last playoffs appearance was in 2011?<\/p>\n
Russell, who starred in “Thunderbolts,” made the claim that if the Sabres ended their drought, he would chug some Lake Hour \u2014 the canned cocktail brand that he co-founded \u2014 and take a plunge in the freezing waters of Lake Erie.<\/p>\n
Not only did the Sabres end their 14-season drought, they gained the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed with 109 points. This left Russell to make good on his promise \u2014 which he did with some encouragement from his dad, actor Kurt Russell.<\/p>\n
“All I got to say is, let’s go Buffalo!” Kurt Russell said in a video posted to the Sabres’ social media accounts.<\/p>\n

“This is for everybody who doubted the Sabres all year, including me,” Russell said. “And we’re jumping in Lake Erie to end the drought!”<\/p>\n
The Sabres are hosting the Boston Bruins on Sunday in the first of their best-of-seven series.<\/p>\n
