March 6, 1994. That was the last Buffalo Sabres regulation win at Joe Louis Arena. I was two months old. Nevermind that. Let’s talk about the biggest surprise of the night. Who had the game-winning goal and assist? Johan Larsson from Mike Weber. Is that not astonishing? Our first win there in over a decade and those are the guys that beat them? Hey, I’ll take that, but that’s not who I was expecting. If that was a #BucciOvertimeChallenge, no one would have gotten that right.
The game-tying goal was not so surprising.
