This was an all-time game in Sabres history

[PromoTheRobot]

This is one theyll be taking about for decades. And you just watched it.

I'm going to watch the highlights as soon as they're ready and then 50 times after that

I can't help but think about RJ calling this game with the roar of the crowd in the background.

Yeah, RJ calling Zucker's tying goal as the crowd erupted would have been an instant classic broadcast highlight.

The Crazy 8 Game?

[oddoublee]

This game reminded me of clubber langs second fight against rocky. 

[Flashsabre]

It reminded me of a combination of 2 Ottawa games. The Chris Neil Brawl game and game 1 in the Playoffs when Drury scored in OT to win it.

The Sabres struck lightning

Best regular season game I’ve ever been to. It was incredible. There were a couple of mid 70’s Philly games and a 7-6 comeback game against Boston but none of them were a statement game like tonight’s. Being there with my youngest daughter just added to the night. Go Sabres!

A lot of people here may have never heard a full game called by Ted. I will say, Rick was great, but I'd really like to hear a game called by Ted again.

And so would that lucky fan from the Sloan Kiwanis Club. Or perhaps the lucky fan from the Tonawanda Elks Lodge.

On 8th goal: “He scooorrrreeeesssss!”   and then he goes quiet for a few seconds to get the crowd noise.

The Tampa comeback game.  Or maybe just the Tampa Game.

Reminds me of the 1997 Red Wings - Avs game that was a brawl-fest.  18 fighting majors in that one.

That game and the Red Sox brawl with the Yankees in 04 were season defining moments on the way to championships. Hmmm.

[PerreaultForever]

Oh there were lots of brawls in the past. The youngsters just don't know what that was like. The difference was back then lots of the Sabres actually knew how to fight. As much as I enjoyed the whole thing and enjoyed people stepping up, only Malentstyn and Carrick are any good at actually fighting. The new guys from Winnipeg change that of course. 

But this was a lot of fun (and I bet some of the people who claimed the Panthers Tampa game earlier this year was a disgrace and not hockey also enjoyed it).
