Do you happen to have video of when the Sabres honored Gil's 500th goal by giving him a car?

This game has eluded me since he scored the goal - 3/9/86 vs. NJD. Not one trader/seller I know has it. Any help? The best I have is a clip of him scoring the goal.

Have you ever seen the video when Gil's jersey was retired? His entire family is on the ice during the ceremony, it's very entertaining ;)

I meant "SHIFTY "a forward-my error

[kurtenbach25]

Perreault was probably the greatest individual skater and stickhandler off all time in the NHL for forwards. He was quick, he could move laterally and had a deceptively hard and accurate shot. Gretzky was not the skater Gilbert was nor had the speed. Perreault was much more shity a forward-he deserves a lot more credit than he already obviously got but he was one of hockey's all time greats!!!

In addition to better, lighter equipment - the average player today has the benefit of state-of-the-art coaching and player development, such as computerized analysis, video, statistical work, and so on. Conditioning and diet are much improved, almost no one in the game today smokes or drinks to excess as the guys did back then. Medical care is fifty years better. Bobby Orr's knees could have been saved - or replaced - in today's game. But make no mistake - the greats of yesteryear were titans.

[GeorgiaBoy1961]

It is tough to compare players from different eras, but the greats from the past would have been dominant in today's game, had they grown up in it as modern players have done. The reverse is also true; today's best would have done well back in the old days. Goalies and position players from the old days look slow in comparison to today's players, but bear in mind that almost every aspect of the game has benefited from advances in tech - from pads to sticks to the ice itself.

One of my best childhood memories of hockey was going downtown to Chicago Stadium - man, was that place loud! - and watching the Hawks play the Sabres. Perrault belongs among the game's pantheon of elite scorers and playmakers; his moves were amazing. The late Rick Martin had a bomb of a slapshot, and was a reliable scorer in his prime. I won't ever forget the 1975 Stanley Cup Final, when guys with bedsheets had to come out on the ice and try to clear the fog!
