PASabreFan Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nice! I could have sworn the voice at the beginning was a young Mike Emrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Gary Bromley in goal for Cuncks, right? That was the first playoff series I ever watched. Then Chicago we swept and ran into the Islanders. Bob Sauve came in and won last two games of the playoffs after falling behind to Islanders 3-0 Tiger Williams clubbed Scotty Bowman! I remember that, but had forgotten. This is nuts, I'll have to watch whole thing later Mike Ramsey is #23! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 :P :P No! It's an Arbys night! You like their Roast Beaf sandwiches, don't ya, Eleven? No, actually... this is brilliant... I'm about to blow all ya'll's minds. When there's a break in the schedule, we all start watching an old Sabres game on YouTube at the same time and have a back to the future Vintage Game Day Thread (VGDT). I still got it, baby!

This is the best idea you have had since you started the GDT yesterday. I like it. Yes sir, I like it a lot.

They blamed their loss to the Islanders on nine days off after sweeping the Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nope. Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale reference ... *those who like it, like it a lot* ... that was a whole lifetime ago for me, but ... :beer: When Radar and Hawkeye picked up BJ at the airport after Trapper went home, they went in the Officers Club. To make Radar "legit" they gave him captains bars to go along with his corporal insignia, inventing "corporal captain." Some colonel came over and questioned it and Hawkeye said the Army was testing a new rank. "I don't like it. I don't like it all," said the colonel. The timing of how he said it has been stuck in my head since 1975, the original Cusp year. On that note... carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be thinking of Game 2 in Buffalo that went to double overtime. Isles won it and took a 2-0 series lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) If anyone is wondering how the Sabres ended up playing Vancouver in the first round, there was a new playoff format that year with 16 of the 21 teams making the playoffs. The playoff teams were seeded 1-16. The Sabres were second and Vancouver 16. Exactly what was the NHL thinking? The first round matchups from 74-75 until 79-80 didn't lack for drama, I will give them that. If you didn't win your division those five seasons, you had to play a preliminary, best of three series. The Sabres barely survived in 76 and 78, then lost to the Pens in 79. It was nucking futs. Complete NHL playoff format history. Great bathroom reading. http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=25433 Edited December 6, 2016 by PASabreFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get with the program, will ya? ;) No, 78-79 was the last year of a best of three opening round. In 81-82 they brought in the divisional format that treated the Sabres oh-so-well for lo those many years (until 93-94). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
