PASabreFan Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 March 26, 1979 The Sabres complete the first perfect Western road swing in team history with a 4-2 win at St. Louis, their fourth win in a row. Before that, Buffalo beat Colorado, Vancouver and Los Angeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 History changes the definition of a "western" swing. I still remember falling asleep to Ted Darling with an earplug into my transistor radio as the Sabres took on either the Kings. Canucks, or Golden Seals at 11:05pm.

I remember running out to buy the Sunday Morning news to see if they won in Los Angeles! Boy, things have changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you weren't buying the Courier-Express? Usually the final was too late to make the morning paper, and no internet to check the final if Stan Barron didn't give it to you.

Can't remember if it was after Courier-Express died or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Anybody else call those expensive 900 phone lines to get updated scores? I know I had some problems explaining to my Mom that they were really sports lines I was calling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Anybody else call those expensive 900 phone lines to get updated scores? I know I had some problems explaining to my Mom that they were really sports lines I was calling! Dude, why would you use a 900 #, when the Sabres would update the info on "the Sabres hotline" 1-800-333-PUCK daily and more often than that near the trade deadline? :o Heck, you could even transfer over to their communications department and have John Gurtler look up which satellite the game feed would be on.

PASabreFan Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 This was pre-800-PUCK and pre-Gurtler. I want to say early 80s. In later years, I WOULD call the 800 number and ask for somebody, just so I could be put on hold for a moment and hear Jeanneret highlights. Better than Muzak!

How cool was that as a kid listening to games late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
