Stoner Posted April 27, 2006 Report Posted April 27, 2006 April 27, 1975 Danny Gare scores at 4:42 of overtime in Game 1 of the semifinals as the Sabres beat the Canadiens 6-5 at the Aud. Montreal ties the game with 18 seconds left in regulation time when Jacques Lemaire's desperation shot hit Danny Gare's stick and flew over Roger Crozier's shoulder. Perhaps 18 is an omen of things to come in overtime. Number 18 Gare beats Ken Dryden between the legs, trips and slides into the boards for one of the most memorable playoff winners in Sabres' history.
