CGorman Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Nostalgia is all we've had the past six years, so let's open this up. Just give a random playoff goals that stuck with you for whatever reason. Stu Barnes Game 5 v Pittsburgh - 2002 Watched this one alone in my house on a random spring Saturday (if memory is correct it was the day before easter). Just felt right, plus the ping of the post mixed with Johan Hedberg's (who we couldn't beat early in that series) utter shock at the power of the shot made it amazing. Quote
WildCard Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Drury - Game 1, 2nd round against Ottawa Brier - Game 1, 1st round against Philly Those are my two most memorable. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Will it ever happen again? Seriously, Will a meaningful game ever be played again in this city....doesn't feel like it Quote
grinreaper Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Who could forget a shorthanded OT goal to win the series? https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=pominville+ot+goal+ottawa&&view=detail&mid=888A127784A4E6EDFBAC888A127784A4E6EDFBAC&rvsmid=888A127784A4E6EDFBAC888A127784A4E6EDFBAC&fsscr=0&FORM=VDFSRV Edited May 4, 2017 by grinreaper Quote
Jacque Richard Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Danny gare ovetime goal for your rookies versus Montreal Quote
Taro T Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 May Day. Robert in the fog. Dave Hannan sending the series back to Jimmy Hoffa. Quote
spndnchz Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Oh God. Drury's goal. The crowd was so loud in there. You could barely hear the goal horn. Quote
Lanny Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Grosek, was on fire that playoffs. I remember being able to watch that game on fuzzy channel 5 with whole family in my bedroom because it was the only tv it would come in on. and Plante. Edited May 4, 2017 by Lanny Quote
Thorner Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Grosek, was on fire that playoffs. I remember being able to watch that game on fuzzy channel 5 with whole family in my bedroom because it was the only tv it would come in on. and Plante. I remember the Plante goal really well. That game for whatever reason wasn't being shown on TV in my area, so I was keeping tabs via the other game on CBC (internet not really a big thing yet). When cutting to the highlight for who got the OT goal, I remember Ron MacLean said, "heartbreak in Buffalo". So I thought for sure the Sens scored, as the game was in Buffalo. But sure enough, he was referring to heartbreak for the Canadian team. Great goal. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 That Grosek goal is a sneakily underrated one. Good thread. Quote
Stoner Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 That Grosek goal is a sneakily underrated one. Good thread. Bigly. I am always surprised it's not mentioned more. It was the first time the Sabres beat Philly in the playoffs and they did it in their building in overtime. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Bit of fun re Drury's goal ten years ago today. Look who was in the crowd: Quote
Weave Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 1988, in the midst of a lost decade, John Tucker scores 4 goals in a 6-2 rout of the hated Boston Bruins in game 3. Quote
Neo Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 May Day. Robert in the fog. Dave Hannan sending the series back to Jimmy Hoffa. GREAT thread. Wonderful response. Quote
Jacque Richard Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 Not saying much here after 47 years Quote
Randall Flagg Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 Bit of fun re Drury's goal ten years ago today. Look who was in the crowd: Wow what a coincidence. I wonder what they were talking about and why Patty didn't just turn around Quote
Stoner Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 Wow what a coincidence. I wonder what they were talking about and why Patty didn't just turn around Took a few seconds. Old eyes. Nice! Quote
Stoner Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) This was radio only for me, but I vividly remember Alan Haworth's overtime goal in Game 1 of a preliminary round best of five series against the Canucks in 1981. It was at the Aud. The Sabres tied it late on a goal by Andre Savard. Then Haworth scored in overtime and Rick was, well, he was 30-something Rick, use your imagination. "Alan Haworth! Alan Haworth!" I was listening on a stereo my brother had set up in the living room and I screamed so loud I woke him up and scared the hell out of him. Haworth had a pretty nice little career. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=2205 UPI recap of the game, with an account of Lindy Ruff holding the goalie's stick on the winning goal (probably was going to berate him with it) and a curious quote from Canucks coach Harry Neale about a best of five series possibly going six games.http://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/04/09/For-Buffalo-Sabres-rookie-right-winger-Alan-Haworth-it-was/3306355640400/ Edited May 5, 2017 by PASabreFan Quote

Sabre fan Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Bit of fun re Drury's goal ten years ago today. Look who was in the crowd: Holy crap...I thought it was the Beiber at first! anyways this goal by one of my all time favorite Sabres, Jason Pomminstein, was so sweet...

Swedesessed Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Derek Plante Game 7 OT winner against Ottawa in 1997, also because Dad and I were at the game 20 rows behind the opposite goal. What a great scene is was after the game. Felt like we won the Cup. Also, Dave Hannan in 4OT against the Devils at 2AM EST was a classic that I will never forget Edited May 5, 2017 by (E5) Quote
