PASabreFan Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 January 9, 1972 Two days after suffering a massive heart attack at his office in Memorial Auditorium, Sabres' coach and GM Punch Imlach is thinking about his team. From his hospital bed, Imlach wonders if New York Rangers' GM Emile Francis will take him up on his trade offer for little-used Ranger forward Jim Lorentz.

Was that when Joe Crozier took over as coach and Punch relegated himself to strictly GM or had that already occurred? Without looking that seems about right - wasn't Punch behind our bench for about 1 1/2 seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Dave, there are some days in Sabres history where apparently not much happened. This must be one of them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
