Probably not though, I have a training subscription through work that runs until March so any free time goes into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Andreychuk and May as well. Don't remember Andy on that line, but May had 45 points one year playing with those two. Then he got his big contract and didn't play with LaLa again. And didn't get near 45 points again..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Best lines I've ever seen in Buffalo were actually back in the old AHL days: Gaye Stewart, Ed Slowinski, and Donnie Marshall, for instance, in the mid '50s. On that same team we had eight guys who scored 20 or more goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 And the loudest the arena ever was, in Game 7. (Drury-Max?) Heya, kiddo. I’d just moved to Tampa in March. I did that series on radio (?) or in taverns. Loud, even in the cavernous barn FKA The Crossroads Arena. A local family invited me to dinner at their house during the playoffs. They served me my first southern style meal with collard greens. I missed a playoff game, went home, signed onto AOL with my squelching modem, and read the recap.

Sprinkle in an Eichel and Kane into that lineup and we're in business. That was fun hockey, Ray, Barnaby and Boughner dropped the gloves every period it seemed. Those 3 collectively racked up 760min of penalties in 96-97. That's more penalty minutes than half the teams in the league had last season.

PASabreFan Posted December 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 The answer to my question about the first line in team history has proven to be a bit tricky. The media guide has the first five players on the ice for the Sabres, without position, and three of them seem to be remembered primarily as defensemen.

The media guide has the first five players on the ice for the Sabres, without position, and three of them seem to be remembered primarily as defensemen. Trying to find the same thing! Can you easily do a link to the five or the page? I’ll guess - Gil, Jumbo Jim, Kevin O’Shea Unless Meehan made it instead of Gil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
