PASabreFan Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 January 4, 1976 The Aud was shaking before an exhibition game with the vaunted Soviet Wings. The Wings were shaking after getting destroyed, 12-6, by the Sabres. Rick Martin scored two goals and added three assists, Fred Stanfield potted one goal and helped on three others, and Danny Gare lit the lamp twice to key the Sabre attack. Despite six goals against, the Sabres effectively limited the Wings' offense by employing an early version of the neutral zone trap and hitting everything in red. The loss was the worst ever suffered by the Soviets in international competition to that date. Sabres' General Manager Punch Imlach called it the high point in the team's six years in the league. January 4, 1984 Real "Buddy" Cloutier records his second hat trick in a week the only two of his short tenure in Buffalo, in fact in a 9-4 win over the Winnipeg Jets at the Aud. Cloutier got his first trick on Brian Ford. On this night, he gets his second on another Brian, Hayward. January 4, 2003 Ales Kotalik scores with 41 seconds left in overtime to give the Sabres a 2-1 win in Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like the Sabres had just conquered the World and was fortunate to be in the crowd in my orange season ticket seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mphs mike Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 All of Buffalo felt that our team had conquered the world. I had to watch the game from the family room on tv but it is the Sabres biggest win in their history to date. Only a Cup clincher will top it.
