Stoner Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 January 27, 1975 The Sabres trade left winger Norm Gratton and a third-round draft pick in 1976 to the Minnesota North Stars for center and two-time Cup winner Fred Stanfield. January 27, 1989 At the Aud, starting goalie Daren Puppa breaks his arm in a collision with Montreal's Mike McPhee. The Sabres win the game 4-2 but lose Puppa for the rest of the season. The loss will soon force GM Gerry Meehan to make a trade for another goaltender, Clint Malarchuk, leading to a much more frightening injury at the Aud two months later. January 27, 1991 No one is overly concerned when the Sabres lose to the Calgary Flames, 5-4, at Memorial Auditorium. After all, the fans have been spoiled by an eight-game unbeaten streak at home. Little did they know, the Sabres wouldn't win again at the Aud until March 17, a winless streak of 12 games (0-7-5). January 27, 2002 Stu Barnes scores in overtime to give the Sabres a 3-2 win in Washington. Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

It seems like yesterday.
fushetti Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 PA, how can you forget a little tidbit of history on Jan 27, 1991? Buffalo Bills kicker Scott Norwood misses 47 yard field goal to win Super Bowl XXV. The missed kick gives the NY Giants a 20-19 victory and serves as a harbinger of things to come for the Bills in the Super Bowl. Fans across WNY run to local watering holes to drink the pain away.

Wide right... now THAT is cruel.
Stoner Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Posted January 28, 2006 Frank... I can't believe I forget that. I wonder how many people showed up for the game -- must have been an early start, right? I can still see all those clasped hands on the Bills sideline pulling apart.
fushetti Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 I don't remember that game at all, the sabres that is. However, the next few years on Super Bowl Sunday the Sabres hosted Winnipeg and Edmonton in matinee games and then the Bills promptly lost to the Redskins and Cowboys respectively. I attended both of those games. I remember them playing the Shout! song and stenciling GO BILLS in Bills font inside the blue lines.
