PASabreFan Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 April 18, 1993 At the Boston Garden, former Bruin Bob Sweeney scores in overtime to beat his old mates 5-4 and give the Sabres a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven opening-round series. Sweeney takes a pass from the forechecking Dave Hannan and beats Andy Moog from 30 feet with Yuri Khmylev setting the screen. Boston, winners of the Adams Division and second overall in the league, is a heavy favorite in the series. It's the sixth meeting in 11 years for the teams. The win snaps a seven-game losing streak for the Sabres -- and an eight-game winning streak for the B's. It turns the series on its head. April 18, 2000 The Sabres avoid getting swept at home by the Flyers when Stu Barnes beats Brian Boucher in overtime of Game 4. Philly goes on to win Game 5 at home to take the series, 4-1.

mphs mike Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 1993: Wow, it's great to go up 1-0 but it has still been 10 years since we won a series, we were horrible down the stretch and these arte the "Big, Bad Bruins". I can't imagine this series will provide any real lasting memories for Sabres fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'm almost rooting for the Bruins to score. If that Gurgler guy says "Fe fi fo Fuhr" one more time, I'm going postal on him. Why aren't we playing Hasek? I am telling you... he will go down as one of the all time greats. (Oh geez, here we go again...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
