PASabreFan Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 February 5, 1981 Don Edwards makes 31 saves in recording the 14th and final shutout of his Sabre career in a 4-0 blanking of the Flyers in the Spectrum. Number 13 had come just four days earlier in Buffalo against the Winnipeg Jets. As for the team, it was red-hot, having lost just one game in the New Year and only 10 overall to that point in the 1980-81 season -- but there were player rumblings about "boring hockey," tensions between GM Scotty Bowman and head coach Roger Neilson and the feeling that Bowman was unnecessarily rebuilding a very good hockey team. The Sabres would go on to win their second consecutive Adams Division crown but get upset in the second round of the playoffs to the upstart Minnesota North Stars. February 5, 1983 Both Dan Bouchard of the Quebec Nordiques and Bob Sauve of the Sabres stop all 22 shots they face as the two teams skate to a scoreless tie at Le Colisee, just the third in franchise history.
