This Day in Sabres History :: May 9


Recommended Posts

May 9, 1997

Ed Ronan scores 6:24 into overtime in Philly to allow the Sabres to live for another day. But the Flyers lead the Eastern Conference semifinals three games to one.

 

May 9, 1999

At the Fleet Center, the Sabres beat the Bruins 3-1 to tie the Eastern Conference semifinals at one game apiece. Mike Peca scores 1:51 into the game on a centering pass from Curtis Brown, and the Sabres extend their lead on a Brown power play goal in the second. After the Bruins cut the lead to 2-1 in the third, the Sabres hang on as Boston pulls its goalie late for a two man advantage. Dixon Ward, though, scores into the empty net in the final minute. Penalty killing wins the day: the Sabres kill off the last six penalties of the game, including a pair of two man advantages.
