Great compilation....thank you! Just wondering about the criteria for your rankings. Pominville's shorthanded OT game 5 game winner/series winner for the 2006 Eastern Conference SemiFinals should be way higher than 71, both for the goal itself and the impact it had on the season. One of the most iconic goals in team history. "Now do you believe? Now do you believe? These guys are good.....scary good!"
I would’ve thought that Brad May’s goal in OT would’ve been #1, especially given that RJ’s call (“MAY DAY! MAY DAY!”) was HIS best ever! At least May made the top 5!
Game 1 1998 vs Mtl Overtime goal by Sanderson is not even on this list. . . you're very Eichel heavy . No Rene Robert in overtime vs the Flyers in the '75 Stanley Cup Finals either. . .ouch .
Dude was a monster, he threw up a casual 76 goals and 140ish points in I believe the 1991-92 season (same season Gretzky had 92 and 212 points). LaFontaine had monster numbers that year too. That was a hell of a 1st Line.
Very good goal video, but IMHO many of the Sabres actual Greatest goals are missing… Robert OT in Montreal, Robert in the Fog, any Gare OT winner, Dave Hannan, Drury with :07 to go…and not one by Rick Martin or Rene Robert? I know earlier years video is harder to find, but maybe change this list to Top 100 Prettiest Sabres Goals of all-time.
Missing: 1989 Adams Division semi-final Game 1: Pierre Turgeon steals puck from Glenn Wesley then roasts Reggie Lemelin with backhand lifter. Mike Robitaille described Turgeon's deke as a "zip-a-dee-do".
Agree, but clips from that era aren't easy to find/edit into a yt vid. Sad, but I'm greatful to have yt as a hockey library that I could only dream of 20 years ago!(I had LOTS of 6 hr vhs tapes recorded of TV broadcasts)
Alot of the goals were from a video I made and used to sell at the Walden Flea Market. Someone who bought it uploaded to youtube. Also #74 was not a goal
Hold the fuck on…THE Pominville goal, to beat Ottawa (the #1 seed) in 5 games, shockingly, in OT, walk off, series winning goal was NUMBER 71???!!!! Idk who made this list but they really don’t know much about Sabres Hockey. I’m not saying it’s #1, but if you polled Sabres fans, it’s probably top 10 and if not, it’s definitely 1000% top 20. But #71?!?!!!!!! Wtf
It bc they chose to use clips from broadcasts other than empire/msg. I had the same thought as I watched the 3rd highlight I know the rj call exists, but they used cbc or a national broadcast for. My guess is it was easier/quicker to find the clips they wanted. Too bad, but I'm biased. Give me a 12 hr vid of every rj goal call, and I'd watch it repeatedly!😊
WHERE IS JACQUES RICHARD GOAL AFTER HE TOOK THE FACEOFF TO THE RIGHT OF JERRY DESJARDINS AND TOOK IT THE LENGTH OF THE FORUM TO BEAT KEN DRYDEN IN FRONT OF THOSE CIGARETTE SMOKING FROGS? PURE BEAUTY.
VANEKS GOAL IN BOSTON WHERE HE PASSES TO HIMSELF OFF THE RIGHT BOARDS AND BREAKS IN AND SCORES ON BREAKAWAY .NEXT TIME ASK FANS INSTEAD OF THROWING THE CRUMB EICHEL IN 49 TIMES.
