That Aud Smell Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hat tip to someone on the Twitter who shouted this out to the WGR guys. (One small aside: Much as I love Rob Ray (as a lovable big-hearted lug) - I miss Lorentz every time I hear him. Listen to him on that color in the midst of an incredibly exciting moment - cool, analytical, spot on.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 We lost many things in the last 9 years. Lorentz retired, Drury and Briere, Pominville, Ruff etc... but I believe we will emerge from the ashes stronger. Now do you believe is one of my favorite Sabres memories and I want Rick to have a chance to say it 1 more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 In a nod to the imperfection of us all -- I never, even in that moment, liked the "scary good" line. Thanks for the opening. I never liked "Now do you believe" and "there's room on the believers bandwagon" after Game Six against Carolina. Rick has spoken of how that team was not expected to do anything, in fact was picked to finish last in the division by one of the national media guys. Well, throw it in that guy's face then. I didn't liked that message being delivered to the fans. Well, some deserved it, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 And you guys took his bait, hook, line, sinker, and pole. Wasn't Jason Pominville the first NHL rookie to score a series clinching OT short handed goal in NHL history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I remember watching this game with my mom.

Derrico Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 That series was my favorite Sabres moment since I was a kid. I'm not as old as everyone and started really watching the Sabres starting at age 6 in 1991. Game 1 of that Ottawa series is still the best and most fun hockey game I have ever seen (Sabres or otherwise). And you guys took his bait, hook, line, sinker, and pole. Wasn't Jason Pominville the first NHL rookie to score a series clinching OT short handed goal in NHL history? Only on a Thursday night when the temperature was over 50 degrees and the Rolling Stones were currently touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Jason Pominville the first NHL rookie to score a series clinching OT short handed goal in NHL history? I believe he was actually the first NHL player, regardless of how much league experience, to do that. Still get chills and a tear watching that.
