LabattBlue Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) The Sabres & Bills doubleheader today got me thinking…did the Sabres, Bills and Braves ever win all on the same day? Also trying to recall, did the Braves and Sabres ever play on the same day in the Aud? Enquiring minds want to know? 😊 Edited October 31, 2021 by LabattBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost positive the Braves & Sabres never did a same day double header. It was the Sabres getting priority on choosing home dates that caused Snyder to decide to sell off the players & eventually the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres and “fill in the blank”. I seem to recall it being newsworthy “the quick switch”. Maybe I just dreamt the whole scenario, or more likely, my memory just sucks. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall it being newsworthy “the quick switch”. Maybe I just dreamt the whole scenario, or more likely, my memory just sucks. 😂 It's possible, but the Sabres would definitely have had to have been the matinee. The ice would not be playable in the evening after being covered earlier that day. Maybe a concert could've followed, but doubt the Braves would've. (And now we've gotten PA to waste his entire day researching your question in hopes of proving yours truly wrong. Pretty sure that's a win-win for everybody. 😉 ) Remember many a Sabres game where they were pulling out the mats to cover the ice to be ready for an event the next day before the fans had even left the building. And there were double headers of the Blizzard & Bandits, but that's not nearly the same level of effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Elias Sports Bureau would allow regular folks (non clients) to search such things. I'd pay a small amount per search.
