ddaryl Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Reminder that as fans we need to cherish these years because they won't last forever. Hopefully the Sabres continue to improve and we have a 2 headed monster for at least a decade For those who don't know the Tom Conehead Girot 8 3 16 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Sabres (7-3-0) Total points: 96 Last week: No. 11 "I thought the Sabres had a chance at being a playoff contender if a few things broke right. They would need their top forwards who stepped up last season to keep scoring, their young defensemen to keep progressing, and strong goaltending from Craig Anderson. Well, Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch and Victor Olofsson each scored in a 6-3 win against the Penguins on Wednesday and are on pace to smash their previous NHL highs (38 for Thompson, 20 for Tuch, 20 for Olofsson). Rasmus Dahlin started the season with goals in five straight games and is an early contender for the Norris Trophy given to the best defensemen in the NHL. Anderson, 41, and Eric Comrie have provided top-10 goaltending. The Sabres have been fun to watch develop since Don Granato took over as coach last season, and it should be interesting to see how they handle this level of success as the season goes on." -- Adam Kimelman, 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Jesus, I remember my Dad buying beer from him at the War Memorial for Bisons game. “Buy a warm one from me, the next ones free!” The Conehead guarantee. He’s 100% correct. I get the same feeling every week watching the Bills with my son. The Glory Years have returned, and it’s sweet as honey. 7 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The early to mid-1970s were a great time to be a kid in Buffalo. The Bills, Sabres and Braves were all really good, full of great personalities and had success. Sal Maiorana wrote a book about it: https://www.amazon.com/When-Buffalo-Atop-Sports-World/dp/B085K6R2TR/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3TUHUQX1SPFZ3&keywords=sal+maiorana+books&qid=1667509215&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=sal+mai%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1 4 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Sabres are a real fun watch this watch. Entertaining, fast-paced, hungry, young, and playing together as a team after they finally cut out the cancer last year. I just told my buddy the other day "I dream of seeing Josh Allen in a Sabres jersey and Super Bowl ring at the Stanley Cup parade in Buffalo". Tom (Conehead) is a great guy. Known him long enough to remember when the Conehead Guarantee was "If you get a warm beer from me, the NEXT one is free" instead of the updated "Get a warm beer from me, and you drink it for free". 🤣 Not that it matters. His beer is always cold. He actually taught me the right way to get your drinks as cold as possible. It's using water and making an ice bath, not just ice in the cooler. Knowing is half the battle! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 finally had the chance to buy a beer off him in 2021 at a Rays - Blue Jays game downtown. I was probably a lot more excited than I should have been 😂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially for fans under 30.. as like a moment for most older fans who have been there since day 1 they might say it’s the fog game in the 75 Stanley cup finals Gilbert has a special place in the heart of older buffalonians Edited November 3, 2022 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said: Cos hockey sucks? I think you need to watch some Sabres games from the mid 90s - the early 2000s. With Hasek in net and Rick Jeanneret on the play by play. That's the time period that sticks out for me. IMO RJ was one of the best play by play guys in any sport. He had so many catch phrases and memorable calls. A few of my favorites He shoots, he scooooooores!! Top shelf where momma hides the cookies! La-la-la-la-la-la-LaFontaine! Call a cop, he robbed him blind! May Day! We're going back to where Jimmy Hoffa is! More cheap shots than a Mexican Cantina! Man, I loved that dude. 6 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
