I agree with you. The Flyers win was a clinic, but you'd have to be slightly delusional to think the Sabres would be able to put on another clinic against the defending champs, especially since we blew our noses in their rag on opening night. And that last goal was disappointing, but it should keep a burr under Miller's saddle, and he always comes back strong when he has a burr under his saddle.

Yep, for a while there it definitely looked like the Canadiens were more opportunistic. Combine that with the Sabres ineptitude on the power play and the third period calls against, things were looking pretty bleak. Bleak for any team BUT the Buffalo Sabres. This team just never quits. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Man, aside from 1971, May 25th really has sucked for the Sabres! Tell the team to spend the rest of the day in a padded room. :lol:

I have been reading these, but after this comment, maybe I'll stop. :unsure: Oh who am I kidding. I wish I could quit This Day in Sabres History! I can't wait for May 18th to see how we should "reward" Ryan Miller! :rolleyes:

The Sabres had a two-man advantage? Was Koharski reffing the game? :lol:

It looks like we have some more demons to exorcise tonight! LET'S GO BUFFALO! Reclaim May 11th!

This will always be my lasting memory of Lindy as a player. After taking the cheapshot, he turned on Smith like a doberman attacking a ham. Smith taped the 'knob' of his stick about an inch or two below the butt end. The unpadded edge of Smith's stick cut Lindy on the cheek. Ruff wasn't the only victim of Smith's jabs and the league mandated that all goalies had to tape the entire butt end of their sticks the next year.
