A Sabres fan laments:
Well, that's it. The end of the 1984-85 season for the Buffalo Sabres.
What happened Tuesday night? Why can't the Sabres win in Le Colisee?
They did so well this past weekend, at the home games. But they just
can't win on Quebec's home ice. It's just like the Spectrum "jinx" 10
years ago. Why else could they have blown a 5-3 lead? And in the last
six minutes of the game??
Actually, the Sabres did better than I expected. I thought it would be a
clean sweep, like last year, or the Sabres would win one game. But to go
to game 5 -- wow, maybe we can do it this year! (Or so I thought.) I was
getting down-hearted after their performance during the Montreal game on
April 7 -- did they really care to get second place?
There were a few small mistakes that were made, that the Nordiques were
able to capitalize on, such as the offsides call during the Sabres' last
rush (what a letdown). And there were some things that Quebec did wrong
that we took advantage of (our first power-play goal during the series --
whoopee).
Oh well. Better luck next year. Grab a ringside seat, folks, it's fight
night at the Forum again! :-)
