Buffalo Blues

The following are the greatest moments in Buffalo sports history





  • Wide Right - The Buffalo Bills went to four consecutive Super Bowls (90-93) and managed to lose all of them. Controlling the Giants for the majority of the game, The Bills set up for a field goal as time winds down. Scott Norwood steps up and hits one wide right.

  • "No Goal" - Reaching the 1999 Stanley Cup finals, the Buffalo Sabres seemed to be the odds on favorite over the Dallas Stars. With the Series at 3 - 2 (Stars) Buffalo seemed on track to tie the series forcing a game 7. Bret Hull manages to squeeze one past Hasek however his skate was in the crease before the puck was touched. In 1999 this was illegal, the goal was not reviewed and the Stars were awarded the Stanley Cup.

  • "I own Hasek" - The Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres face off in the 2000 Conference Semi Finals. The Pens take a quick 2 game to none lead over the Sabres but Pittsburgh loses the next 3 games. Game 7 approaches and Pens and Sabres go into OT. Robert Lang front an odd man rush into the Buffalo zone when he passes it off to Defensman Darius Kasparaitis who fires a wrister from about 50 feet out beating Hasek. After the game Darius states "I own Hasek" in an interview.



  • Music City Miracle - Quite possible the last straw for Bills fans in 2000 as the Titans score a ratty ass touchdown at the end of the game on a kick return. The Bills have not made a Conference Finals appearance since 1993
