SabresFan526 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 What I posted in the Briere thread: I think it was a thread at one point. I'll be honest, I'm fairly young (27) and I've really only been watching Sabres hockey in earnest over the last 20 years or so. In that time, I still think the Drury goal is one of the greatest goals I've seen since I've been watching the Sabres. No doubt there's May Day, Curtis Brown series clincher, Derek Plante series clincher, Jason Pominville series clincher, Tim Connolly game tying goal in Game 1 against Ottawa (one of the most exciting and highest scoring games I've seen) and a bunch of other great goals, but as BMWolf said, that goals still gives me chills every time I watch it. I'm with you, to hell with the payroll if we could have kept Drury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregkash Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Drury's goal is up there. I think one of the best goals I've been alive for was the shot heard round the world. I think all of Buffalo Believed at that point that we actually had a shot. Also Stu Barnes OT goal in game 6 where Gary Thorne just yells "Buffalo 3 Pittsburgh 2" always makes me happy. As far as chills though, I watch Drury's goal over and over on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Either Danny Gare goal. Or maybe Robert's fog goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The was my favorite in-person memory. The best one in recent memory is the Drury goal. Of course there's also the May Day goal, and a bunch others I am forgetting right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I think Rene Robert's overtime goal in 1973 against the Canadians. I was just thirteen and not such an ass. Second favorite would be Dave Hannan's goal just because I was so tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyPommer Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Afinigenov's shootout goal at the end of this season was pretty nifty, the shootout that went 12 rounds. Can any of you guys put some links up of the goals that have been talked about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Dave Hannan's goal to end longest Sabre game ever was so great, I just remember jumping around all over like crazy, getting up and going to class the next day, getting home, turning it on again and watching all over and having basically the same reaction again. That was great. :) Bob Sweeny's OT goal against the Bruins in Boston was also special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had endzone oranges for the game..By the end of the game we were lower golds right behind the net where hannan put it in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buftex Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 If I had to pick one, it would likely be Pomminsteins' OT goal against Ottawa, partly because it is fresher in my memory, and also because the insane, manic, topsy-turvy final minutes of that game...that goal, more than any other, symbolizes how exciting the Sabres were for two seasons. The rookie, stealing the puck, in an overtime shorthanded situation, going end to end, schooling a smug vetran defensemen, and eliminating their heavily favored, and much despised rival all in a matter of seconds, on the road...the sky seemed the only limit.... Little did we know that the limit would end up being a pile of papers on Larry Quinns' friggin' desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Wings Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 One of my favorites is JP Dumont's OT winner in Game 3 vs Ottawa in 2006. It was that one that made me realize we were watching a special playoff run by a bunch of underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that goal. The kid, called back up after surviving being placed on waivers, ends the series on a solo short-handed OT goal. At that point, you knew that that team would win the cup. Unfortunately, that team didn't play much of the Carolina series (the blue-line was completely different.) Note: that smug veteran that he schooled was, in fact, Alfredsson. He's a forward, but was playing the point on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you are right...I just remember Alfredsson scoring earlier in the game (or maybe it was earlier in the series) and making some very bush leauge gestures toward the Sabres, in that series. I also being glad that he was the one Pomminstein made look silly....that was one ballsy little team we used to have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to put a Labatt Blue can on the rabbit ears so we could pick up the Canadian feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 This goal blew me away... The VANEK shootout goal where he fired a huge slapper before the goalie even realized he let it go. Beauty. I'm not saying this ranks up there with the best of them, but it was just a great goal off the cuff. Patty, Dru, Hawerchuk, Mogilny I love all those as well. Thanks for those links Bmwolf21.

SabreNod Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 The last time I prattled on for hours about how amazing a goal was...Drury's goal in game 5. I was there, I was feeling strangely amped but did NOT believe it would happen, and then he lifted that place like I've never seen it lifted before. I hugged my friend next to me, and he's not exactly the hugging type. I could hardly sleep that night because the electricity wouldn't leave me. It played over and over again in my head. Amazing what a little game can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
