This Day in Sabres History :: February 17

Recommended Posts

February 17, 1984

Dave Andreychuk scores his second overtime goal in 10 days at 1:31 of the extra session to give the Sabres a 5-4 win over the Minnesota North Stars at the Aud.

 

February 17, 1991

At Memorial Auditorium, Jeff Reese makes 28 saves as the Leafs shut out the Sabres, 3-0. Buffalo's winless streak at home reaches eight games. Toronto's winning streak in Buffalo reaches two.

 

February 17, 1996

At the Hartford Civic Center, Sabre killer (and future Sabre) Geoff Sanderson does it again, scoring in overtime for the Whalers to beat the Sabres, 2-1. And, yes, they played the Whalers' theme song, alternately known as "The Hartford Whalers Victory March" and "Brass Bonanza." The mall was rockin'! Want to hear that catchy theme song again?

February 17, 1999

Mats Sundin scores on a short, quick shot with less than a minute left in overtime to give the Maple Leafs a 3-2 win over the Sabres at Marine Midland Arena. It's the first Toronto win in the Queen City since Reese's shutout exactly eight years earlier, but that is not the biggest story of the night. Dominik Hasek pulling his groin is. The Dominator will be out of the lineup for a month.

Thanks for posting these dates. Brings back a lot of memories. I don't remember them all but some just jump out at me. I was at the Toronto game and remember it real well. Was that really 15 years ago???? Wow
