I forgot about that one until I watched the video. Barnaby the disturber. May was pretty tough. Loved Trefilov coming down. Derek Plante thinking......why am I on this line?

JustOneParade Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 What immediately strikes me about that video clip was how strong and clear RJ's voice was back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Most of mine are boosted from some of the many great posts in here: Winning the roulette for Gilbert, leading to Gilbert winding up in his own end Going to a game with my dad in the Aud. Sometimes we sat in the 6th or 7th row deep in the corner and the slappers and big body checks that came flying in were amazing. Rico smashing the rookie goal scoring record in the 2nd year of the franchise. Schony taking on the Bruins Dominik shutting the door on the Leafs in the playoffs 7-6 Who else? Who else? HM: Briere’s double OT winner vs Philly in 2006, followed a few months later by the Sabres destroying Philly 9-1 early in the 2006-07 season, precipitating Clarke’s resignation and Hitchcock’s firing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In not particular order: 1. Drury tieing it up, afinogenov in ot vs rags 2. Woolley in OT vs Dallas in finals 3. pominville in OT vs ottawa 4 May day 5. plante in ot in game 7 vs ott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAF Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 I’ve only really been a fan since 2015ish, so here goes: - Several Eichel OT winners, notably one against Nashville and one against Carolina - The 10 game win streak, especially that Skinner OT win vs San Jose - When Botterill and everyone else was fired - Eichel trade - Tuch getting by Eichel to bury that empty netter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Going to the Barnaby Mother’s Day hat-trick game with my Dad Watching the Sabres stomp the Leafs with family in ‘99 outside in gorgeous summer weather Sabres Fan Appreciation Days and getting to meet and play games with all of my favorite players as a kid Watching Campbell flatten Umberger with all my friends in high school Sabres-Senators brawl and then going to the next game in Ottawa with my family HM: Sabres in the Plaza in ‘99; meeting Miller during one of his first stints in Montreal and having him ask if we knew where the other guys went 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Getting Punch Imlach as GM. The spin of the wheel. Acquiring Hasek. No Goal. The decision to tank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Mad max 61 diving through center ice, I vividly remember that OT goal and celebration, such an exciting team. The one SOG where Miller reached behind his back/head and stopped it on the goal line, it was crazy and the most hasek like save since Dom himself Kasparitus scoring in OT for PIT to knock buffalo out, it seemed like such a weak shot that best one of the best. (similar to when Ottawa beat us in playoffs, I think it was Spezza or Alfredsson) Pegula's speech, I thought we were going to be perennial winners, spend to the cap, this team was going places.... Little did we know. Getting KO, the Sabres were a team that didn't really attract good free agents, this felt like a little changing of the guard. HM, Hasek vs Brodeur, what a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I'll add to May Day. That one gave me the chance to chant may day in a bar in 2005 while standing next a table where Ray Bourque was sitting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the first game that I still remember watching was the last time they were in the playoffs, the game where Pominville got hurt against the flyers (game 5?)
