Stoner Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 January 13, 1972 Between the first and second period of a game between the Sabres and Rangers at the Aud, scratched New York forward Jim Lorentz is pulled aside and told by Ranger GM Emile Francis that he has been traded to the Sabres. Lorentz is promptly locked in the Ranger room for the second period and can't call friends and family with the good news. January 13, 2000 Martin Biron (39 saves) and Byron Dafoe (23 saves) both record shutouts as the Sabres and Bruins skate to a scoreless tie in Boston, the ninth in Sabre history. January 13, 2004 The Sabres overcome 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to rout the Philadelphia Flyers, 6-2, at HSBC Arena. Curtis Brown had two goals and Mika Noronen made 35 saves, while Chris Drury added a goal and two assists, Jason Botterill had a goal and an assist, and Daniel Briere and Chris Taylor also scored. For the ninth time in 12 games after a seven-game losing streak, the Sabres earned at least a point. Jeremy Roenick was tossed from the game for throwing a water bottle and striking referee Blaine Angus, who did not call a penalty on Rory Fitzpatrick, whose stick came up and cut Roenick late in the game. Roenick was suspended one game by the NHL and lost $90,000 in salary. "Terrible, absolutely absolutely absolutely terrible," said JR after the game.
letsgobuffalo45 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 I'm pretty sure Curtis Brown wasn't a Sabre in 2004.
shrader Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 I'm pretty sure Curtis Brown wasn't a Sabre in 2004. He was traded to San Jose at the 2004 trade deadline in the Jilson deal.
letsgobuffalo45 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 You're right, good call. I just don't remember much Curtis Brown from that season.
Eleven Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 January 13, 2004 * * * Jeremy Roenick was tossed from the game for throwing a water bottle and striking referee Blaine Angus, who did not call a penalty on Rory Fitzpatrick, whose stick came up and cut Roenick late in the game. But it was the water bottle's fault. Roenick did nothing wrong, and probably wasn't even in the arena at the time. In fact, Fitzpatrick was impersonating Roenick at the '98 Olympics and that's what made Roenick--whom I repeat was not present--upset.
DrunkenSabre Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 You're right, good call. I just don't remember much Curtis Brown from that season. quite alot of talk about him as he was massivly underused and had no real place in the team. a very bad season for him. glad to see his back on track, sorta, though.
