I loved this 2001 Sabres team. Though I was/am a Devils fan, I had a close eye on Buffalo and secretly wanted them to make a deep run. I especially loved seeing the combo of the two veterans, Gilmour and Andreychuk.

I'm a huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan and the Penguins won their first round series against the Washington Capitals 4-2. Then of course winning the Series against this terrific Buffalo Sabres team 4-3 in a hard fought 7 game series. Eventually our magical season would come to an end against those pesky New Jersey Devils in the ECF.

I had completely forgotten Doug Gilmour was on the Sabres

All too briefly, most unfortunately... We in the Sabres Mafia still have numerous scars from our teams with Hasek, yet not winning the Stanley Cup... The Dominator was the greatest ever 🤟

Wow that intro animation opened up a long-forgotten core memory from childhood

[@michaelmcchesney6904]

This leads to the epic Pens-Sabres 7 game series. Game 7 OT winner from none other than Kasperitis. Mario Lemieux returned this season. What a great Sabres team as well. Great season of hockey. The Avs and Ray Bourque would win the Cup over the Devils.

@@SabresClassics alright cool thanks! I’m doing a Gary Thorne compilation and I’m missing playoff calls from those games so I’ve been trying to find them online but no luck.

@@SabresClassics Any Leafs vs Sabres games from the 1999-2000 season aired on CBC & CFTO-TV?

[@SabresClassics]

As of now I only see the Leafs/Sabres games from the 1999 eastern conference finals from CBC.

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

@@SabresClassics Mm-hmm. I know your focus is on the Sabres, but I was wondering if you happen to have some old Blue Jays games aired on CBC?

was always special when there was a game on abc sports.

Living in NY and being a member of the anti Flyers community this was one of the greatest things ever.

[@hoskins666]

I never got to see a lot of these games as I was always following the Oilers and Avalanche but it's really cool to see these.

[@PWiz30]

I'll never understand how Roman Chechmanek was a starting goalie in the NHL.
