I am late to this story. Adam was one of my all time favorite Sabres. I know to be in the NHL you have to be elite, but there are differnt levels. Adam was the grinder that played every game like it might be his last. His energy was so great. As an athlete who had to play hard to make up for my average talent, I could relate to Adam's game. My least favorite players are the ones with all the talent that just float around. Adam wasn't that. I sure hope he gets the help he needs.

Watching the cup Finals first game in a small market took me back to some brief moments like that as a Sabres fan. My kids are in there 20's and could care less about how far away we are, but I'm just sad about my broken franchise.

Grumpy old man rant. To superimpose Herb Brooks speech over the American NHL all-stars was just so wrong. "Miracle" happened during the cold war, when we were the good guys, the kids were amateurs and a miracle did happen. That was just lazy and wrong on so many levels.

Log on after a few weeks of Sabres fatigue and this thread at the top of the list. So this is what we've come to? OK then. Broccoli. Emperors new clothes I say.

A GM is part of the sales and marketing effort with some sales skills. They need to convince (sell) other teams GMs and players that Buffalo is where they want to be. They also need to foist (sell) our bad assets in trade. If Kevin Adams grilling in front of the media produced that press conference, imagine him in the last two sentences.

Oh my. Thank you for finding this. I remember watching this on a black and white TV. It was high drama. I was 12 and I think this was the moment I went from "hockey, kind of cool" to "I'll run through a wall for this team." I idolized shoney. Loved the French Connection. This remembrance of that moment is just so great. Again, thanks for finding this.

This. Exactly.

62. First game was the Fog game.

Just home from game. The singing of the Anthems were the highlight. This product is defective.

2.50?

This thread is fascinating. My mid 20's kids all had Briere, Drury and Miller jerseys and I took them to games throughout the first 10 years of the drought. Then I noticed they didn't want to go anymore and claimed the Sabres always put me in a bad mood. I'm sorry I ruined them. I took my son to the Devin Levy debut against the Rangers and thought I was getting him back. He poked his head in last night and said "Dad, how do you watch this "S##$3!" I would ask that of any new fans. We don't even have RJ to sugarcoat this turd.

Just sad reading this. Starts at the very top.

They played not to lose in the last 6 minutes of regulation and deserved to lose.

This is the best version I've ever heard. Truly amazing. Wow, thank you for sharing.
