im a red wing fan but i have to say this was pretty awesome. the sabres have had a good handful of memorable playoff overtime wins over the years. and with RJ calling the games it makes it that much better.
I was 8 years old, Tugnutt was my favourite player, i idolized him, but when the sabres scored this goal... man that hurt, i was sad for weeks. But thats hockey...
This was the last big win for poor Ted Nolan....he won coach of the year an after losing to the flyers in the next round had one coaching stint with the islanders and left before he even started lol
@kbuzzred you know where you can stick that comment, Guys playing with widdled pieces of tree for sticks doesn't count. No disrespect to them but come on you asshole. Its like saying the Roman empire would destroy the current USA. Doesnt make sense. We would own.
i dont remember what my comment was, but did u personally win them, really?. wish i woulda been there, can i get your autograph?. I didnt know professional hockey players had time to write youtube comments. How can you personally win something exactly?
does it matter. lets see... 2006 playoffs, round 1. that says everything. and all those "recent" flyer wins have come cuz you guys took 2 ex-sabres. so basically whoever has biron or briere will win.
could we possibly shut the fuck up about how good the red wings and flyers are, just enjoy the goal and dont talk shit about the sabres ya cocky bitches
This is a Red Wings fan telling all other Wings fans here to shut the fuck up. These people are here trying to enjoy something that has nothing to do with the Wings, and here you go with your "LOL SWEPT IN 4 FLYERS SUX" Yeah, I was happy to see it to, but grow the fuck up and let them relive classic hockey moments in peace.
the quote are you ready leigon of doom was the best i remember that series when i was a lil kid it was the best it was better than the habs and new jersey series
The flyers of 1997 reminds me of the sens last season: Led by their 1st line, they owned each and every teams they met in the playoffs, all in 5 games but got smoked like a bunch of bitches in the Stanley Cup Finals (mainly because their goalies couldn't get the job done). The differences is that the sens won atleast a game and they flyers had home ice advantage against the wings.
That wings team was probably one of the best teams to ever play the game. I mean, they had Shanahan, Yzerman, Federov, Konstantinov, Vernon, etc...but you're dead on...it proves that you can't win a cup with only one good line, no matter how dominant it is. The flyers had the same problem as the Sens did though, yea...Hextall was horrible that series.
this was insane, i was up in the 300 level for this game, it was electric... ironically the first sabres game i had ever been to... Senators have no luck whatsoever, the may be insane in the regular season but suck ballz when it comes to crunch time in the playoffs.
Fans were proud of Ottawa in 1997. This was their 1st modern playoff ever and they went toe to toe with much more experienced Sabres. After 4 horrible expansion seasons coach Jacques Martin was able to turn things around in just his 2nd year on the job (his 1st full). They improved by almost 40 pts from the previous season. The Senators of 97 were like the Atlanta Thrashers of 2007. All in all 1997 was a successful season.
It'll be an intersting series this season between Buffalo and Philadelphia. The Legion of Doom can never be used again, but the KGB line will come close when it they begin to gel well together.
lets go buffalo..dont listen to these guys who werent even born when they won...and they still talk about us after a 20 win season..nice job philly we dont make nasty comments on ur videos why wont u leave us alone
ha in 1997 if the sens didnt have yashin putting the puck in his own net they wouldve won, and the sabres got lucky in 2006 and the sens won in 2007 1 on 3 bitch
Don't Forget We kicked your Ass in 99, and Yashin sucks, and the Sabres Rule, and the OTTAWA SENATORS WILL NEVER WIN THE STANLEY CUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dude your an idiot going around trying to make crappy slogans. good luck with that one catching on. ohh and by the way, you guys may be able to get there, but the senators and maple leafs will always suck. and yes we all hate the logo, but love the team.
uhhh not really game 7 right there sabres won...last year sabres took it in 5 against the sens this year theyll take it in 6 whaaaaaaadddddduuuuuuuppppp LETS GO SABRES
holy shit, i went to this game, it was off the hook, i thought the areana was gonna collapse, because there's never been a better overtime winner at home than this one...
This is my favorite goal ever... Plante's been my favorite player since I saw him on the Sabres, I've followed his career even after his NHL days... Thanks for sharing this!
Adorable how some fans have to live in the past. And not even their own team's, but mine. If your hockey team sucks and you can't deal with it, go to a bar and have a beer, or take up gardening, or - god forbid - read a book.
Is that what you guys did for almost 20 years when your team blew so bad that they almost had to move the franchise HAHAHAHAAHA! At the end of the day the only thing that matters is 2 Stanley Cup Titles > NONE!!!! 1975 fuckers hahahaha! Have fun next year without Briere!
Flyers, let's see how you do against a fully health Sabres game,I'm going to the first game vs Philly in buffalo,gonna log on,and lmao in your face because Philly gonna get owned.
And to this day,Philly blows,and Esche won't get you anywhere, but there is one player on Philly I do respect,and that's Antero Nittymaki,great player,great goalie,only player I do like on Philly
They beat Buffalo 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers....and then advance in the stanley cup final and got OWNED by the red wings. Of course they got owned since you got Garth Snow btw the pipes, LOL.
The Flyers used two goalies in the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals: Garth Snow and Ron Hextall. The Red Wings had to use one goalie: 1997 Conn Smythe MVP, Mike Vernon.
You didn't comment the video, you stated that your team beat the Sabres and advanced to the Conference Finals. If you're gonna argue a point, be logical when doing so.
Are you ready legion of doom? Yes Eric Lindros Michael Renberg and John Leclair were and so were the rest of the Flyers. They beat Buffalo 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers.
Now (2006): Eric Lindro, Michael Renberg and John Leclair were gone when the sabres DESTROYED you flyers 4-2 (three wins by a PURE OWNAGE, 8-2, 3-0 and 7-1). The game six looked just like in 2001 but it was in philly, you didn get shutout and Cechmanek wasn't in goal.
