He’s going to return this fall, spirited away by Don Luce and Alex Mogilny from seclusion in the Klondike where he pulled dog sleds loaded with the carcasses of Tim Murray’s blueline through the Chilkoot Pass, in temperatures colder than Gary Bettman’s heart.
He will be sporting a prospector’s beard thicker than the fog in the Aud in the spring of ‘75, carrying a wooden Victoriaville stick carved from an oak tree planted by Tim Horton and presented to him by Gilbert Perreault in a secret ceremony performed in a Japanese shrine owned by Taro Tsujimoto. He will be wearing the fedora Dodie gave Punch prior to that fateful first meeting with Seymour and Norty.
He will bear an uncanny resemblance to Kurt Russell in The Thing and we will call him YukonJesus.
Greatness will follow.
Great Natural/Sabres history lesson

No,
Stage One was a bar on Main near Transit.
i was at both concerts you mentioned at Clark Hall. Also, remember seeing Southside Johnny and the Asbury Park Jukes at Springfest on North campus in either 80 or 81.
Do I correctly recall that the first time I saw UB40 was on campus at UB around 78/79?
I’ll always consider Linda Ronstadt the greatest female vocalist.
i’ve had a crush on her for about 45 years now

Yeah, went to school with ole Harv. Can’t tell people that much anymore.
Better story about Stage One, I ran in their one night to grab some Mighty’s and about 50 people were in their listening to some new band doing maybe their tenth Anerican show. I think their lead singer went by Sting......
I was one of those 50 or so. Spring 1979, a couple months before HS graduation.

It was only last year that I learned that the Harvey in Harvey and Corky Productions was Weinstein. As a proud UB alumni, it pissed me off.
Same here. I had no idea that I had met "the Harvey Weinstein" until it came out that he got his start as 1/2 of "Harvey & Corky Productions"

How is Paul Rodgers or Roy Orbison not mentioned.
Truth is, if he wanted to, Prince could have been the best on all instruments.
But, since I decided to post, I will modify the question with those I’ve seen.
Justin Hayward
Eric Clapton
Joe Strummer
Billy Sheehan
Carl Palmer
Producer Todd Rundgren
Love the Billy Sheehan vote!
Takes me back to the days of hanging out at Stage One before Harvey was infamous

You probably are too young to remember Gil Perrault. He scored goals like that frequently. Many times he started behind his own net and weaved through the whole opposing team. Guy LaFleur was similar.
I think it was Larry Carriere that said something like - get the puck in your own end, take it behind the net, wait for Bert to circle back, pick it up, skate through both teams and score. Easiest plus 1 possible"
I remember LaFleur flying down the wing and getting a pass, not waeving through both teams with the puck, but he was a Hab and it was a long time ago!

I was a freshman at UR at a concert on campus. Can't recall how, but learned the score at the end of the second period during an intermission. Went to the student center where both tv's were tuned to the Olympics. Typical Olympic broadcast even then - switching to several events, but once Mark Johnson tied it the last 10 minutes were shown live.
A special feeling that can't really be duplicated because the "cold war" and changes in Olympic eligibility. They'd never play the tournament in a 7500 seat arena today

Bernie Parent is the sole reason the Sabres didn't win in '75

Apparently last night's loss was the death knell for their now former staff

For my sanity, I hope I can ignore this game

The Who definitely ranked up there.
The Braves-Celtics playoff game that Darell Garettson(six) ruined for me. Not ashamed to admit that I cried on the way down.
The Aud Club.
Sabres-Flyers in 75 maybe, six guys thrown out 23 seconds in. Doug Favel throwing his stick from bench as Luce broke in on empty net.
Oh, and getting robbed when I was 12 by six kids during golden gloves boxing. One was very nice and yelled at his friend for making me spill my pop while he fished through my pockets looking for more money.
Braves games - Tops tickets in the oranges

Favorite Aud memories include Little 3 doubleheaders - didn't realize how special it was to see Calvin Murphy and Bob Lanier play in the first college basketball games I attended;
The Who on Dec. 4, 1979;
Sabres good memories include Schoeny's 3 fights and beating the Bruins; "Thank you Sabres" as the Habs eliminated us; 12-6 over the Russians

I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?CSN 1969
Brilliant - many verses describe the state of being a Sabres fan since 1970!

My recollection is that they played a couple of games in Germany a few years ago.
Are you counting the outdoor games in the two Winter Classic's as "neutral"?

I would start a combo of Mojo, Asplund, Pilut, Olofsson, Dahlin, Larry and Ullmark for each game.
Great idea, if you don't get a penalty for it

Montreal Jr Canadiens trivia...
in The Aud Club
Posted
It was a different era of junior hockey. Making the Jr. Canadiens was the most difficult cut those players survived in their careers!
