Fifty years ago today, the Sabres began their first playoff run to the Finals with a 4-1 home win over the Blackhawks:

Try as I might, I have never found footage of this series on youtube.  You can find a couple of their SemiFinals and Finals games, but not the Blackhawks series.

I now live in Massachusetts, and was thinking of this Sabres team last week when the RedSox brought back their 1975 World Series team to honor them on Opening Day.

I don't see many Sabres games out here, did the Sabres do anything to honor their 1975 Stanley Cup Finalists?

Not that I know of. You can imagine why. Anything that brings up the drought is surely a non starter. Too bad.

Good post.

P.S. I have an audio tape of highlights from 75. Maybe I can at least get some Sabres Hawks goals on YT.

Thanks, Stoner!  The crowd reaction was fantastic.
