For those of us lucky enough to remember, even Bert was 20 his rookie season!

Same lineup tonight
No Pysyk :(
WTF???
I see the Amerks have a game tonight. Why not have Pysyk play there if you aren't putting him in our lineup. Does this decision maske sense to anyone else?

My dad had tickets to that game. I was sooooo disappointed he went with a co-worker and I couldn't go. I don't recall the game being televised. I remember listening to it in my room on the radio.
O, it was televised. Sabres were up early by the time I got back from church and turned it on!

Good to meet you .... I watched the game on television with my grandmother, sitting on a family room sofa, in Blasdell ... I remember marking the score on my Sabres season calendar of scheduled blue (home) and gold (road) games. It hadn't been scheduled at printing. TWELVE, I wrote TWELVE.
I remember doing the same with those calendars. A few years ago my mom found a couple of them, with the scores for all season in the attic - a great trip down memory lane!
-
C'mon, fellas.
I really want a win tonight.
I have such fond memories of the NYE games I attended in my younger days -- three, in all (IIRC (I may not)).
Agreed - I attended a couple with my mom, before I was old enough to take a date. Sabres on NYE memories are ALMOST as special as the open practice memories
-
Should be 2 periods completed before the Bills game starts. That should be enough time to decide which game to continue watching. After the Dallas game, I'm hoping for a better outcome.
It will be nice to be done with the Stars and Blues for the season after today though. GO Sabres.
Aren't we also done with the TB Bolts for the year? I swear we played division opponents in a 16 team league less!

- Kishoph - LOVE the avatar, applies to me as well and would make my momma proud!

Here's my take - I vividly recall watching the entire game in my living room. It was late when the puck went in - disappointed, I turned off the tv and went to bed. I NEVER thought about his foot until reading about it later. The rule was STUPID, although it was enforced throughout the year. His foot had ZERO impact on the play.
We will win a cup, Eichel will carry it around the ice and only old farts like me will retain fond memories of Bert, the French Connection, Ramsey, Ramsay, et al

No, I'm not talking about romance in the lovey-dovey sense.
There is a lot of knowledge on SabreSpace. While I appreciate it, I am often lost in it all. My fandom is still the fandom of a nine-year-old boy watching Gilbert flowing around the other team. I like to watch hockey visually, and all the fancy stats in the world don't enhance the actual game experience for me.
Anyone else out there with me? Or have fancy stats and fantasy sports eclipsed the romantic vision of sport?
We're apparently the same age - I was 9 when I first saw Bert as a rookie!
I'm with you - I don't do fantasy sports so I have little/no need for advanced stats and pay little attention to them. As I have gotten older, I can frequently tell, based upon observation, that a team doesn't "have it" on a given night. At times I wish I was that little kid that ALWAYS believed my team was going to win/pull it out, regardless of time left, score, opponent, etc

My reasoning behind believing in Lehner: I've never heard of a goalie that has been as drilled as him to be a great goaltender. He is the son of arguably Swedens best goaltender coach (Henrik Lundqvists gt-coach), he was facing pucks going in 100mph as an 11 year old. I remember reading somewhere that Lehner's Neighbors pressed charges against his father for the things he put Lehner through, and there are some messed up stories told by him around the web to justify them doing so.
He has had some injuries these past couple of years but if he gets it together and plays like he did a couple of years ago then damn. LEHNER WILL BE FINE.
There are so many players that gets concussed in this league, not all of them become vegetables.
I'm going to get so much hate :angel:
While this sounds all well and good - and I'd love to believe it. How did the paternal "grooming" work out for Todd Marinovich?
That being said, I have a lot of hope for Lehner
Zoinks.
Now I'm fearful that GM TM may have acquired the hockey goaltender equivalent of Todd Marinovich.
I posted before reading further - the same thought obviously!

- He'll be interesting to watch. I was at his NHL debut and didn't think he looked near ready that night. Very shaky at times.
-
Other saviors from the first round include Morris Titanic and, from Scotty himself, Jiri Dudacek

Lorentz was an absolutely elite colour guy.
Batman - speaking of the Flyboys

Kane could easily have had two goals in his first two games. I agree with others, it's very premature. It's premature to judge anybody on this team 5 games into the season with a new coaching staff and 9 new players.
I couldn't care less who smokes weed.
I don't care about my fast food cook or hockey player, but I do care if my pilot smokes weed!
-
I, too, noticed him on the pp point regularly. Regardless of how much that was directly responsible for 3 goals, I like it as a coaching staff making a change that got a team moving offensively.
-
I voted Eichel - the real birth of a Sabres legend!
We had Bert set the rookie goal record in 70-71 and Rico set it the following year. Time for Jack to follow!
-
I voted for decent NHL starter BUT, in my opinion, "decent nhl starter" and "ryan miller's career" are synonymous
-
I voted for both options 2 and 4. I'm confident he is a leader and top 9 forward on this team at the start of the season. I'm hopeful he is surpassed by younger guys as the season wears on.
-
I wonder how many on this board get the reference. One of my favorite episodes.
I feel like there is a little Capt. Tuttle in all of us. As a matter of fact, you might say that together we make up Capt. Tuttle.

This might actually cause me to get a FB account!

It is really interesting how much age impacts your memory in something like this. I think of Van as the Voice of the Braves plus an afternoon radio man, the host of It's Academic and Bowling for Dollars. I then looked at the years - he was off the Bills from my age 9-17, I haven't resided in Buffalo since 1980.
-
Chris Drury v2. We let him get away once. Never again.
My sentiments exactly!
-
How old is Cal? Could he be a player/coach or some such? GMTM was talking about "discussing some different things" in response to the question about an Amerks coach
-
Can we agree: most important signing in the history of the franchise, since 11?
Absolutely!
I truly feel like I did in the early 70's when we beat out the Red Wings for our first playoff series. This team is on its way
Best Sabres Defenseman Ever?

I'm surprised it took awhile before Bill Hajt was mentioned. Best defensive defensemen is either Ramsey or Hajt, hands down in my opinion.
