[This Day in Sabres History]

January 6, 1996

Former Sabre Pierre Turgeon scores twice on John Blue and once on Martin Biron

Marty's been here for 10 years? :huh:

 

Wow.

[GAME THREAD: Sabres at Flyers]

From the ESPN recap:

 

The Flyers are missing several key players because of injuries, including leading scorer Simon Gagne.

I tried to find the part where they said "The Sabres are missing several key players because of injuries, including two-thirds of their top line (Danny Briere and JP Dumont) and defenseman Dmitri Kalinin," but I couldn't find it anywhere.

 

Typical.

[GAME THREAD]

The Drury doubters should note that he set up the game-tying goal in the last game and scored the game-tying goal in this one, only to see his efforts negated by dumb penalties and (at least in this game) a bad goal allowed by Miller (even if it was on the PP).

 

Look elsewhere for your benching candidate, folks.
