@BuffSportsHstry He was excellent at the point on the power play.
Happy “Chris Drury has tied it at one with 7.7 seconds to go” Day to those who celebrate
#OTD in 2007 Chris Drury scores with 7.7 seconds remaining to give Buffalo a 1-1 tie against the Rangers in game 5 of their Eastern Conference Playoff series. Max Afinogenov scores at 4:39 of OT on the power play and the Sabres take a 3-2 series lead.
@BuffSportsHstry Quite possibly the hardest slap shot by a Sabre in the history of the franchise?
@BuffSportsHstry A composite stick would be in pieces on that nowadays.
10 years ago today the Buffalo Bandits beat the Toronto Rock 15-13 in the NLL Eastern Semifinal which started their current 6-game postseason win streak over Toronto. Tonight it Game 1 of the NLL Semifinal. Faceoff at 7:30, radio coverage starts at 7 on @WGR550
#OTD in 1961, the #Bisons beat the San Juan Marlins 4-3 in the Herd’s first game ever at War Memorial Stadium. Dick Ricketts pitched a complete game for #Buffalo and struck out 11 batters. #TheRockpile
Little did anyone know what was to come...#BuffaloBraves
#OTD in 1976 bye Buffalo Braves playoffs forever, bye Jack Ramsay forever.
@BuffSportsHstry That was pretty much the end of the Braves in Buffalo.
@BuffSportsHstry I miss Felser. I used to be a paper boy for @TheBuffaloNews when I was 12/13 and read the paper every single day. loved those opinionated days columns
@BuffSportsHstry I had the opportunity to interview my childhood hero that night: Oscar Gamble.
@BuffSportsHstry A great color guy on the broadcast. Worthy of the Buffalo Broadcasters Hall of Fame too.
@BuffSportsHstry I thought that the Buffalo Bisons played the Hershey Bears for the Calder Cup in the spring of 1970. It turns out it was actually the Springfield Kings that the Bisons beat in 4 straight games.
