[Gilbert Perreault]

Gil Perreault, OJ Simpson and Bob McAdoo. The Golden age of Buffalo sports as the argument could have been made that those were the three most exciting athletes playing their respective sports at the time.

I remember when the NBC announcer asked Phil Esposito if anyone would break his goal scoring record and without hessitation he said Gilbert.

Good times. 

 

 

I first started following sports in 1969 so it was great to be a Buffalo sports fan in the following years when the Sabres and Braves franchises started and Lou Saban coached the Bills and gave the ball to OJ.

 

Perreault stickhandling up the ice was awesome to watch.  I don't know if he could have been so successful in today's NHL with the defensive schemes.

[Is Darcy a Weasel?]

He should have done the right thing and stepped down upon firing Lindy. Be a man, admit you're part of the problem. Actions speak louder than hollow words.

 

C'mon. Easy to say. Would you quit your job without having another?
