So we keep circling the drain. The above got me to thinking about the various eras of Sabres hockey and what they should be called. Here's what I came up with. Your list invited... 1970-1977 The Blue and Gold Era 1978-1983 The Hangover Era 1984-1992 The Drought Era 1993-2001 The Hasek Era 2002-2004 The Lost Era 2005-2007 The Post-Lockout Era 2008-2012 The Core Era 2013-2017 The Tank Era 2018-?

JujuFish Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 2005-2007 The Post-Lockout Era Perhaps 'The Black Sunday Era' is more appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Perhaps 'The Black Sunday Era' is more appropriate. That would be great instead of The Core Era. The La Fontain Mogilney era I thought about that, but IMHO Hasek's is the only name that belongs on an era. Ray: "Whoever's running the light up there needs to lay off the bottle."

With the emergence of dominating Jack and Lehner winning the net I'm surprisingly hopeful that this season will be remembered as the new core establishes itself and we'll say this is the first year of the Eichel Tower Era.

I dunno. The Knoxes hired good hockey people with cred, from Imlach to Bowman to Muckler. Regier is in that period of time where former presidents get busted on, only to be remember later in a more favorable light. Darcy was OK. I'd look more to ownership when push came to shove. When the Sabres have been really close, there either was the lack of resources or the lack of will to push them over the top (mid to late 70s, late 90s, mid 00s). The tools to finish the job were never delivered. Being in small-market Buffalo didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Nuff said. 05-07 - Awesome teams, crappy unis, It ALMOST works. 08-16 Call it what you will. The 92-93 season was a fun season. Lafontaine had 148 points [53G, 95A], Mogilny had 127 points [76G, 51A], Hawerchuk had 96 points [16G, 80A] and Andreychuk had 61 points in 52 games [29G, 32A] before being traded to Toronto for Grant Fuhr. It's too bad Hasek didn't become "the Dominator" that season that way we could have kept Andreychuk. IMO, the 92-93 team, with a dominant Hasek plus Andreychuk would have won the cup. The Sabres ended up losing to the eventual Stanley Cup Champs that year [Montreal], each game was 4-3 (3 out of 4 went to OT). Will we ever see a Sabres team that has two players with 100 points or more in a single season again?

If I'm not mistaken, I think Selanne had 76 goals that season with Mogilny? No doubt, the Sabres would have won the cup that season with Hasek when he was the Dominator. To answer your question, I think Eichel has a good chance to get over 100 points. Maybe O'Reilly if Bylsma doesn't keep over-working him.

Eichel may have a shot but O'Reilly has no chance. 64 is his previous high water mark and he's now 26 years old which is around the time when forwards start to decline in their scoring production.

Randall Flagg Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yeah, let's keep in mind that a total of zero NHL players will hit 100 points this year, much less the ~40th-50th best forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way it happens is if they re-enforce the rules the way they did post lock out in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPre Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 McDavid is close with 88. 12 points is a lot. Sure, he'll get closer to 100, but he's not getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
