Buffalo Says Goodbye to the Aud

The Buffalo Sabres old home, the Memorial Auditorium, is being demolished to make way for bigger and better things in downtown Buffalo. One of the most notorious games in NHL history occured in the Aud. The "Fog Game" as it is known was a result of an unusually humid May day in Buffalo during the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals versus the Philadelphia Flyers. Here is a video from Sabres TV talking about Aud memories and a short clip showing footage from the "Fog Game".

Sabres Win One for Flight 3407

Late in the evening Thursday night outside of Buffalo as small commuter plane crashed into the small community of Clarence Center, NY. All 44 passengers and the four crew members perished in the crash. Here are some Buffalo Sabres speaking out about the crash, as some of them even heard it in the own homes. Several of the Buffalo Sabres live in Clarence Center and were not that far from where the crash occurred.

Buffalo were leading early against visitors San Jose Sharks. Early in the first period the Sabres were up 3-0, then let that lead slip in the second as they finished the second period at 4-3. Then with six minutes left in the third the Sharks seize the day on Buffalo and go ahead for the first time in the game 5-4. Then with three seconds left in the third period Buffalo's Jason Pominville puts the puck in the back of the net to force the OOOOVVVVEEERRRTIME! Needless to say the Buffalo boys pulled one out for the community, for Buffalo, and for the victims of Flight 3407.
