I think I'd prefer Ken Dryden

this times alot! if you didnt get to watch Bert live growing up you may notunderstand. you dont want to ask someone like Bert or Jack to be phil esposito

Risto can't sing or play guitar like Schoeny! Ramsey, Schoeny, Housley, Korab/Hajt are the names he needs to surpass

Apparently - I still remember the depression

Do I recall correctly that the Isles scored in the last minute or so of game three when the game appeared headed to OT?

Didn't remember Bones played for anyone but the Sabres. That team was deserving of a better fate - it was crushing losing to the Isles, who wouldn't lose a playoff series for several years

OK blue Jays . . . Let's play ball!

Al Smith's retirement still brings a smile to my face every time I'm reminded of him leaving the Sabres organization

I'll raise a Goose Island IPA!

Winner! What about the gray seats in the Aud?

I think I recall the Carriere photo - are both of his legs flying in the air, almost parallel to the ice?

start by looking at the size of the goalie equipment. if ken dryden had todays pads he might have a gaa below 0.25!

If that was in 72-73, the back story may well be the Gerry Meehan goal with 4 seconds left in the 71-72 regular season that knocked the Flyers out of the playoffs. https://youtu.be/OKanXHoFE00

Agreed - the only bad thing Schoeny ever did was record an album! I was lucky enough to be present when he destroyed Orr, Vadnais, Cashman and the Zamboni doors

Agreed, PA. BUT - I haven't enjoyed watching a Sabre rookie as much as Eichel since Bert, Rico, and Schoeny. Good times are on the horizon - we'll be as much fun to watch and winning like the current Tampa team soon

I'm surprised it took awhile before Bill Hajt was mentioned. Best defensive defensemen is either Ramsey or Hajt, hands down in my opinion.

For those of us lucky enough to remember, even Bert was 20 his rookie season!

WTF??? I see the Amerks have a game tonight. Why not have Pysyk play there if you aren't putting him in our lineup. Does this decision maske sense to anyone else?

O, it was televised. Sabres were up early by the time I got back from church and turned it on!

I remember doing the same with those calendars. A few years ago my mom found a couple of them, with the scores for all season in the attic - a great trip down memory lane!

Agreed - I attended a couple with my mom, before I was old enough to take a date. Sabres on NYE memories are ALMOST as special as the open practice memories

Aren't we also done with the TB Bolts for the year? I swear we played division opponents in a 16 team league less!

Kishoph - LOVE the avatar, applies to me as well and would make my momma proud!

Here's my take - I vividly recall watching the entire game in my living room. It was late when the puck went in - disappointed, I turned off the tv and went to bed. I NEVER thought about his foot until reading about it later. The rule was STUPID, although it was enforced throughout the year. His foot had ZERO impact on the play. We will win a cup, Eichel will carry it around the ice and only old farts like me will retain fond memories of Bert, the French Connection, Ramsey, Ramsay, et al Smell is entitled to his opinion
