Agreed! That is still my all time favorite sports exit!

Many of us with a little gray showing recall that at the time Craig Ramsey was setting the NHL consecutive games record Randy Smith was setting the identical NBA record as a Brave!

To quote "Roll the Highlight Film" - "who says he's afraid to fly, Alexander Mogilny just sent a vapor trail past (some goalie)"

Labatt - I believe the Hab fans were chanting "ole ole ole ole". It is one thing I thought was a little clever. I took the rhythmical chant as a play on the opening lines from Byron Lee & the Dragonaires beach anthem "Hot Hot Hot" and the similarity with the french pronunciation of Huet's name.

And I thought the French Connection came from the movie!

Instead of the post I guess we can look forward to JPom putting it in the net in the third! I missed the first but I can't believe the Habs dominated the way they did and we took the lead. Hopefully the last second goal will completely demoralize them.

Tarrytown - I LOVE your avatar!

I can almost hear our Darling Ted now: "Clear the track, here comes Eddie Shack"

So far it has been 40 FUN minutes. I'm looking forward to the next 20. Corp you may have called it early today 4 - 1 good guys!!!!!!!!

Kindred spirits - you got me there!

PTS - I owe you an apology. I was a little reactionary!

While Sabres fans would love to have Miller play in the Olympics - me included - we should have more class than to wish someone gets hurt. Next thing you know we'll be wanting Esche to follow in the footsteps of Pelle Lindburgh. Let's show some class as we cheer for our Swordsmen

We definately took back the momentum. It was a much better period but both teams look like they are reaching for (and often missing) the puck instead of skating to it. Miller has played very well but this game may take 5 or 6 to win.

The Sabres are lucky - Kotalik's goal was a nice shot but it should have been stopped. We (me included) would be screaming about the weak goal if Marty let it in. Through 20 it is clear Atl came to play and wants the game. We refuse to clear the puck out of our own end. If we don't get some momentum in the first 5 minutes of the second I fear tonight may be a lost cause.

I hope the Swordsmen are as ready to drop the puck as I am! Let's GO BUFF - A - LO Thrash Atlanta tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

1/29/77 - I remember watching the game on our living room tv. A special evening in an era when the Sabres on tv was a treat a handful of games a year. If I recall- correctly no one knew Ted was back home until it was reported in the paper the following morning.l

!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a pisser!

It's great listening to RJ tonight, but, I'd love to WATCH the shootout.

SHOOTOUT - Lets get two!

Lets add another ot win over Phoenix to the January 12th date

2 man advantage - we BETTER win in ot! No shootout tonight boys.

Was that when Joe Crozier took over as coach and Punch relegated himself to strictly GM or had that already occurred? Without looking that seems about right - wasn't Punch behind our bench for about 1 1/2 seasons?

Gotta love a Dave Dryden memory - Thanks!

I missed the first period - now I know why I never saw him. The Tampa announcers couldn't be bothered to let us know he was out. They were too busy complaining about penalties called on the Lightning! I thought Khalinin looked like a good defenseman tonight. Haven't seen that from him since '03-'04. It sure would help if he was healthy and playing solid D! Nice win Swordsmen. A 2 goal win in REGULATION so a conference foe gets NO points out of the game.
