PASabreFan Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 May 2, 1993 Montreal beats Buffalo 4-3 in Game 1 of the Adams Division final at the Forum. It's been a week since "May Day" and the Sabres are hurting, most notably Pat LaFontaine's knee, but they hold their own. Dale Hawerchuk and Donald Audette score second-period goals to tie the game at 3. In the third period, though, Montreal scores a disputed goal when Vincent Damphousse beats Grant Fuhr on an apparent pick play. The Sabres outshoot the Habs 35-22, but Patrick Roy is superb. May 2, 2001 The road team wins again in the Eastern Conference semifinals as the Sabres beat the Pens in Pittsburgh, 5-2, to even the best of seven series at two games apiece. J.P. Dumont scores 1:28 into the game and Curtis Brown tallies a shorthanded goal off a give and go with Miro Satan late in the first. But entering the third period, the game is tied at 2 and the Sabres are on the brink of falling behind three games to one. Enter Stu Barnes, Dominik Hasek and the Buffalo defense. Barnes scores the go-ahead goal against his former team, Hasek stops Martin Straka on a penalty shot and the D holds Pittsburgh to just one shot on goal until very late in the period. In fact, in the final 48 minutes of the game, the Pens record just nine shots on goal. For the game, Mario Lemieux is held shotless and Jaromir Jagr is credited with just one.

shrader Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 PA, wasn't Mogilny's leg broken in Game 1 as well? According to the hockey database website, both Mogilny and LaFontaine played in 7 playoff games that year. It looks like they both were knocked out of game 3.

sabregoats Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 May 2, 2006 Buffalo Sabres defeat the flyers 4 games to 2 in the best of seven first round series. Game six was never much of a competition as the Sabres dominated from the word go. The final score was 7-1, with the sabres finally getting a much needed win on the road.
