Habs at Sabres 1983, Game 3 player intros

Wow, great to see Bob Sauve.

Ah, the memories....

[stenbaro]

I was at that game. Seems like another lifetime ago.

[Billznut]

Yep same here. Was at this game in our families season ticket spot, last row of the upper blues. Great view of the ice but zero view of the scoreboard, oranges and above. Lol 

Sabres had shut out the Habs in games 1 and 2 in Montreal and completed the sweep here in game 3 to win the opening round series 3-0 before heading to the second round for that epic 7 game series with the Bruins that ended in heartbreak with Brad Park in OT in game 7.

That was another lifetime ago and a much better world to live in. 
 

Amazing how few Canadians fans were there.   The Sabres had fans, the games were on TV for free, and home games in The Aud were fun.  

[Stoner]

Not Uncle Miltie. Interesting. A young Gurtler?

[Stoner]

Listen to the PA guy adding some zest to Habs' names, then a little organ accompaniment. Respect. Fun. (Munreal scared the hell out of me even in 1983.)

Then they just left the moment alone and let the fans take over. The few seconds it took to get it wound up would, today, be plastered with music and Make Some Nooooliiiiise.

Sorry, kids, some things were better then.

Ted's voice, the Aud, the Sabres in white, and a playoff game - be still my beating heart!

[Gatorman0519]

I miss those days. Way better back then.

[JP51]

Oh I remember this... back to back shut outs of the Habs in Montreal... epic.

[nfreeman]

Awesome.

The Aud was so great.

Arooooouuund behind the net and Bobby O has his second consecutive shutout!

[bob_sauve28]

Bob Sauve!!! Twin shut outs! 

[Brawndo]

This one still hurts 

 

[mphs mike]

I refuse to watch that clip. Probably haven’t seen it since the live version

[Stoner]

That was Sabre-y.

I don't get why Craig Ramsay basically took himself out of the faceoff just as the linesman was about to drop the puck.

A lot of things there that will never be understood.

That Brad What's His Ass goal was the first time I suffered Sabre Shock. I just sat there for like five minutes looking at the screen in disbelief

Unfortunately, lots of things were better.  Less is more at times.

it does sound like gurtler. i'm not sure the timing lines up?

also, imagine the commotion if sabrespace had existed at the time: perreault moved to wing with mccourt at centre. (was this a feature of the latter part of perreault's career?)

I think so. Of course Robert and Martin were long gone

TaroT will know the line combos and iterations. (Relax, big fella, I'm trying to compliment your steel trap of a mind.)
