Great, great stuff. The airport story is from 75. Must have been after they eliminated the Habs in Game 6. But people were so crazy about the team it could have been after Game 3 or 4.

 

That crowd was estimated at 5,000. Even if a little overestimated, still amazing. The team bus got a police escort to Buffalo.

 

Found this little blurb:

 

• A few hours later, thousands of fans crowded the Niagara Falls Airport about 2 a.m. to greet their heroes. It was so packed, Danny Gare was unaware of the girl who was climbing on his back.

PA ... thank you. That was a great article and lots of fun. I could go on for hours. I enjoyed your "The Oranges" thread. Same grandmother, same incline!

The article by that old-timer shows how much has changed in sports and how much we readers miss out on now. If guys like Vogl and Harrington have any contact like that with players, we sure don't hear about it. Schoeny hugging Azar, those days are gone.

I had a dream while on probation. All of SabreSpace was there.

We filled a hall at the Arena, smoking joints, and drinking beer.

A little smurf said, Let's go in, I must remind you how to cheer,

Thus we ate brownies, and got refills, then proceeded to our chairs.

 

In the Arena, in the center, where the spotlight shines so brightly,

Holy Mecca, where we've watched the Sabres grip their sticks so tightly,

That lovely logo that we cherish, was covered by a cage!

And in it, three men. By now I think you know their names:

Owner (clapping)

GM (cheering)

Coach (standing o)

So this is why we're here? - But it was just a dream,

And you wouldn't believe what dream-state Meathead tastes like!

We get it, Yuri, you watched Les Miserables during your suspension...

 

Do we still want to do this? Should we pick a day when there is NOT a game?

I think that depends how much of a bar tab people are willing to run up :P

Maybe we all could meet up at the zoo? Something calming?

Just stay away from the turtle exhibit. Well maybe you could get a few autographs from some of the Sabres players.
