I have finally put my finger on why King Kong was and will forever remain my least favorite Sabre. I still remember the goal and it did melt the hate for a few minutes!

What no comment on anyone's physique????????

PA - I suspect that by later in the week you'll be reminding us that Rene Robert was one of the few who figured out how to beat Bernie during that series. Maybe the weather helped? Maybe we'll even learn how Jim Lorentz subbenly became Batman! These posts bring back a ton of memories. Unfortunately bebinning a few moments ago they won't ALWAYS be fond!

Whether endurance was a factor or not is simply hindsight BUT the Sabres did NOT look good playing a 2d game in two days (game 4) against Ottawa to our chagrin (at the time). I think that at this point of the playoffs you have two good teams, each playing well. Bounces will be the key. Which team takes advantage on the power play. Which team gets a break like the Dumont knuckle puck to win an ot game, etc. OOH, AAH, SABRES ON THE WARPATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the Sabres have an advantage behind the bench. After watching the Olympics, I'd much rather have Lindy behind my teams bench than Laviolette!

The Swordsmen got a little lucky in the last 5 seconds of the third period last night.

Let's make May 2, 2006 one of our favorite days for reminiscing in the future!

and provide a HIGHLIGHT goal to open the scoring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suspect PA will have a Boxy call in a couple of days - likely a big goal against the Isles in the playoffs. Oops - my bad. I should read before replying.

PTR That quote belongs in the RJ/Ted Darling Hall of Fame!!!!!!!!!

1993: Wow, it's great to go up 1-0 but it has still been 10 years since we won a series, we were horrible down the stretch and these arte the "Big, Bad Bruins". I can't imagine this series will provide any real lasting memories for Sabres fans!

Maybe we can call someone up and leave that bum Brad May off the playoff roster.

Can I join you?

While the Sabres top my personal memory agenda "The Aud" truly was a special place that provided many memories and bonds growing up. Sitting in the "grays", watching Braves games, and my introduction to another love - college basketball with the Little 3 doubleheaders. Little did I know that watching Calvin Murphy play for Niagara and Bob Lanier as a Bona Brown Indian wasn't your "average" college player.

I had forgotten about the stick measurement, but I can still see the shot!

April 1973: Anyone think we have a chance to take the Habs - maybe even an OT win - and force a game six at the Aud?

Best of 5 was bad BUT the best of 3 was horrible. I still have nightmares of Ed Staniowski standing on his head and very nearly eliminating a much superior Sabres squad after stealing game one.

I don't care if the Habs go up 3-0, I'll bet the Swordsmen don't get swept! I remember an entire city looking forward to the first NHL playoff game in Buffalo.

WOW that cold splash was refreshing! I guess it's all relative. Like Rock I was up past my bedtime watching the game.

I feel an OT winner by "ROBERT ...RENE ROBERT" coming up!

I remember the 72 game against the Flyers well. It was almost as if we had made the playoffs for the first time ever when we knocked the Flyers out with seconds left in the season! Just another year and we'd "win" a race with the Red Wings for the final spot in the east and get to meet the Habs!

And in the Spectrum on 3/30/81 Isiaeh Thomas led the Hoosiers to the NCAA basketbal title. Knight got another title and once again denied Dean Smith his first.

This is one of the very few losses in "this day in Sabre history." I guess we aren't undefeated for 1970-Spring 2006!

The KC Scouts were the Colorado Rockies for a few years before they became the Devils I believe.

I hope so - remember even the Sens have lost to the Sabres once this season. Anyway, I'll leave the game up to you guys - this Tiger season ticket holder has a college basketball game out in Oakland to pay attention to at the same time.
