\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 It's a raw video without any commentary but some interesting visuals: 1. Game-tying goal by Guy Lapointe in 3rd period. 2. Calling for measurement of Ken Dryden's goal pads with 29 seconds left in third period. 3. Scotty Bowman quickly trying to find a rule book, then reading the rule book to determine if the measurement of the pads is legal. 4. Rene Robert overtime goal. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres73 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 I remember watching this series as a nine year old. It's when I became a Sabres fan, hence my forum name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoner Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 As an aficionado of Rick I always wondered why he said... "Robert would have been gone..." He was gone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Third year in franchise history and they made the playoffs in the NHL's heavyweight division. That was quite an accomplishment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just cant be that hard to have open and honest conversations with proven GMs and Coaches and then hire one. Have things changed that much?

Phil Goyette Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 I think what strikes me the most, (other than the way some of the civilians in that video are dressed) is the lack of clutter. Beautiful boards without and ads. No Pepsi logos under the ice, etc. It certainly was a simpler time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I see the crowds from the old eras I see people tended to dressed better in social settings (within the fashion constraints of the times) and there was far less obesity. Our food wasn’t contaminated like it is today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was referring to the zoot suit on the guy with the mouton chops, as I was forced to wear a yellow corduroy leisure suit to a Braves game as a kid, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Goyette Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 (edited) It's funny too, now that you mention it. I remember my Mom and Dad getting all dressed up to go to a Sabres (or Braves) game, which was usually preceded by dinner at the Aud Club. And while my Dad's ties were always fat....they were never tacky! (other than the material) Good times.

When I was old enough to drive I always got the New Years Eve games and I got to take my GF into the Aud Club. I had to dress up to go into the Aud Club, jacket and tie required.

Our food wasn’t contaminated like it is today. People were there for the hockey, it was pure and simple. The video scoreboards are now important because people need to see replays. It seems more important to have your followers know what you’re eating and drinking and how many likes that is generating. We are never going back there but it is an interesting contrast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMWR100RT Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 (edited) Oh my. Thank you for finding this. I remember watching this on a black and white TV. It was high drama. I was 12 and I think this was the moment I went from "hockey, kind of cool" to "I'll run through a wall for this team." I idolized shoney. Loved the French Connection. This remembrance of that moment is just so great. Again, thanks for finding this. Edited October 24 by BMWR100RT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with TV "snowy" black and white hockey games that I picked up from the roof top antenna from Canadian airwaves. Great winter nights.
