frissonic Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 i remember watching that ottawa game on TV. just brutal. i took the day off from work and drove around some remote parts of utah (though they couldn't have been *that* remote ... i had good enough cell coverage to stream the entire press conference. i remember thinking, "the end is near ... the cup is coming." i still feel that way. i know this season has sucked big fat RT, and yes--there are pieces that need to be added ... but i still get the feeling that things are going to change. *immensely*.

shrader Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was really hoping this would be about 1980 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 After watching the first video all I have to say (again, since I have said it before) ... my how things have changed! Probably the last time Stafford was a real "man" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCBuffalo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was really hoping this would be about 1980 instead. In one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history, the underdog U.S. hockey team, made up of college players, defeats the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. Happened today, in 1980. From what my parents told me about it, most people didn't even watch it live cause it was on at like 3am on a tuesday. Most americans saw the re-play.

No. 1980 Olympics were in Lake Placid, NY, so the game was played during the day, but was recorded and played later that night on TV. So, pretty much nobody in the US saw it live.

CallawaySabres Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 My blood still boils when I see that Ottawa video. All of a sudden, I am GEARED UP for my seats against Boston on Friday. I want some good ole Friday night Boston (lucic) atmosphere and I'll be damned if I don't bring it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 That Ottawa clip always makes me well up with pride. I remember watching that game. Wow. What a magical few seasons post lockout. That seems like ages ago, now. Whatever, I guess we're heard and written about it all before at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I *don't* get a sense of pride out of that Ottawa clip. In my mind we never did get payback for what Neil did to Drury. I feel like that incident is a debt that appears will go unpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Probably the last time Stafford was a real "man" too. it's funny. in my memory, stafford was way more resolute in how he went after neil. watching it again and focusing on that point, i see how stafford initially had the right instinct (he circled right around to find who did it), but then was awfully reluctant once he realized who he was going to have to tussle with. and he probably took more lumps as a result of his hesitation. EDITS: rayzer on drury: "yeah, he'll be FINE." commentary from another era. love that other angle that shows mair POPPING spezza. i wish we still had a guy like mair. mccormick is serviceable, but i prefer mair in his heyday.

Crazy stuff. Lol. They could of played a game at 3:30am, I mean hulk hogan body slammed Andre the Giant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks for posting that Ottawa fight - never saw that one before - that was awesome! Lindy Ruff actually ANIMATED about something - don't see that much any more - he just kind of has that stony unchanging sourpuss look on his face these days. Did see the Miracle on Ice live. Back in those days stayed up many nights til dawn - and somehow still made it to work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
