Stoner Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Another lean day. Anyone have something better? January 10, 1985 In Boston Garden, Tom Barrasso makes 20 saves for his fifth career shutout (and third in eight games) as the Sabres blank the Bruins, 3-0. The Sabres stretch their unbeaten streak to nine games (8-0-1) and have lost just twice in 20 -- but that includes eight ties. The Sabres will go 8-3-2 in their next 13 games after this date but finish the season 11-13-2 and bow out in a devastating first-round defeat to Quebec for the second straight year in a harbinger of bad days to come for Sabres fans. --- Crushing playoff losses do often signal "depressions" for Buffalo sports teams, don't they? No Goal -- Sabres barely make playoffs next season. Music City Miracle -- Bills haven't been back to the playoffs since. Lemieux's heaven-sent goal in Game Six and Kasparaitis' fluke in Game Seven overtime -- Sabres haven't skated for the Cup since. And in 1985, after Quebec scored three goals in the final 10 minutes in a deciding fifth game in Le Colisee to win 6-5, the Sabres missed the playoffs the following two seasons.
