Stoner Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 January 23, 1984 The Sabres win their 10th straight game on the road and overall 5-3 over the Bruins at Boston Garden. Buffalo had set a new NHL record for most consecutive wins away from home by beating the Blues in St. Louis two nights earlier for their ninth in a row. The Sabres held the record all by themselves for over 16 years until the Blues won 10 in a row on the road late in the 1999-2000 season. The New Jersey Devils later turned the trick as well. The 10-game overall winning streak still stands as the longest in Sabres' history. January 23, 1992 Rookie Donald Audette scores with 45 seconds left in overtime as the Sabres defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Igloo in Pittsburgh, 5-4. The French Gorilla's goal, his second in overtime during the 1991-92 season, caps a stirring comeback by the Sabres, who trailed at one point 4-1. Audette scored 31 goals his rookie season . January 23, 1995 The initial steel is put into the ground for the Crossroads Arena project.
mphs mike Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Is there a rational explanation - other than RJ dubbing him that - for Audette being known as "The French Gorilla"?
Stoner Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 Stocky build. Very hairy chest, as I recall. Never played well in Manhattan. Is that enough?
