The date is April 29, 1997 — a great day in Buffalo Sabres history, and one of the biggest goals Derek Plante ever scored in his NHL career.
Do you remember it?
Fans flocked to the then-named Marine Midland Arena in downtown Buffalo for a critical game seven against the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
The Sabres were coming off a 3-0 victory over the Senators at Corel Centre two days prior, which allowed them to tie the series and force a game seven.
It was the first playoff series between Ottawa and Buffalo.
