GDT: Buffalo @ Colorado, 9:00 PM EST

[Fire Eater]

All righty then...You have to remember the spookiest game ever. Lorentz killed a bat and the fog over the ice had to be dispersed by skaters waving bed sheets.

[Taro T]

Bogosian did not have a good period. (Yeah, yeah, thanks Captain Obvious.) 1st bad game I've seen from him in b&g.

[3putt]

I am. I remember watching, on television, with my grandmother! Koran sneered all night. He pounded Yakushev, over and over. I remember the Red Army - Flyers game, too. Confused Soviets and a furious coaching staff.

The energy in the Aud was palpable. They used to allow smoking along the rails of the oranges and it was packed with people with seats chaining. Surreal. And Perreault was a magician. Tikonov was once asked if Wayne Gretzky was the greatest player he ever seen and he said no. Gilbert Perreault. God gave him things he didn't know he could.

Bravo Dmitri!  Encore!  More please!   :worthy:

I got to watch some games and once played soccer in the Aud during the Buffalo Blizzard days.  What I was most impressed with was the spit trough in front of the benches.  I thought, is it possible that anyone could spit so much that they need something just shy of a urinal to receive it?

[dudacek]

For tied shots on goal, the Sabres seemed like they were dominated worse than any first period in a while.  Absence of Ennis on the PP is apparent.

 

 

We actually won the Corsi (+1)

[Randall Flagg]

Am I crazy or did Hackett not start this game? What happened to Lindback?

[dudacek]

Damn O'Reilly is what we need.

 

And I totally missed Hackett's arrival WTF?

I remember Butch Deadmarsh grabbing a Bruin during the Cashman Melee clean offnthe ice while never leaving the bench. He pulled I think Hodge off the ice over the boards into the Sabrez bench opened up a can of wuup ass and tossed him back on the ice. He nevernreceived a penalty during the game.

Damn O'Reilly is what we need.

We have Zemgus.

I'm poring over this thread trying to figure out the same thing.

[CallawaySabres]

I am so sick and tired of this team playing like crap. Who are these no name players anyway!!?? Oh wait, the tank is still going on...carry on.

[TrueBlueGED]

Well, he played like Anders Lindback, for starters... ;)

Damn O'Reilly is what we need.

I approve of this message.

Nolan sending the team a message?

Nolan sending the team a message?

 

What message?  They're worse this period than they were in the first.

[Nitro60]

The squad gives effort but the talent is not there.  This game is over.  Starting to wonder what this team will look like at the start of next season.  Draft and free agency coupled with a possible coaching change.  

[TrueBlueGED]

Methinks it's time to watch some basketball.

Top 10 Sabres memorable moments from a veteran (old) fan:  in no particular order.

 

1 Soviet Red Army Butt Kick -- WINGS!

 

2 "Thank You Sabres" Game -- I attended, SRO.

 

3 Fog Stanley Cup Game -- radio.

 

4 No Goal -- alone in my den, after midnight, in Tampa.

 

5 Shoenfeld/Cashman Zamboni door fight -- radio, Blasdell.

 

6 Brad Fricken Park -- 88 Highgate, UB.

 

7 Malarchuk almost dying -- read about it. NJ, Rutgers.

 

8 Hannan OT winner -- there, about five rows behind SHK. (Hasek, 70 saves. I talked to Stephan Richey a decade later - "unreal. We were never going to score")

 

9 Pominville OT winner -- TV, TAMPA -- my kids now sharing memories with me)

 

10 Gretzky goal record/Perreault Hat trick[ -- was there- I believe he tied and set the recorde against Sauve and Edwards, respectively)/quote]

 

Awesome list!

Irish looking to pull the huge upset..

[rumblefish]

Sabres play in this game so far, reminds me of a  one legged man in a butt kicking contest

[PromoTheRobot]

Hackett is getting his 30 minutes to preserve his rights. If anything Nolan is sending a message to GMTM by starting Lindbach, then playing Hackett.

I remember that game.  SIGH

[stenbaro]

Matt Ellis has had 2 point blank shots in the slot and fired wide both times. Players like him are why we suck

[PASabreFan]

Anyone remember two memorable games in March 1981 at the Aud? Sabres tied the Bruins a few hours after President Reagan was shot. My dad and I assumed the game would be canceled, but came up anyway. Good thing. The crowd was very quiet. Uncle Milt made an announcement that Reagan was out of surgery and that lightened things up a bit. Then later in the month the Sabres beat the Leafs 14-4. I will never forget the We Want 15 chant. We sat in the oranges for the first and only time, and it was a wild trip to the seats. And an awesome view the likes of which we will never see again.

You just HAD to say it. If the Irish blow this, I fear the wrath the poster formerly known as LPF will rain down upon you.
