Simply put, Pat LaFontaine is one of the greatest Sabres in franchise history. The organization took a huge turn for the better on October 25, 1991 when LaFontaine was dealt from the New York Islanders to Buffalo for a package that included Pierre Turgeon.
He had the greatest offensive season in team history in 1992-93, when he scored 53 goals to go with 93 assists for an astounding 148 points. He was a finalist that year for the Hart Trophy, given to the NHL’s MVP (Mario Lemieux won).
In the 1994–1995 season, he was awarded the Bill Masterton Trophy as the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey.

When the annals of football history are someday written, the Buffalo Bills’ teams during a six-year period from 1988-93 will go down as one of the elite, if not most talked about teams of any era— ever.
The narcissists will recount one thing and one thing only; the four consecutive Super Bowl losses. Four straight years the Bills were on cusp of winning the biggest game of their collective lives, and four straight times they lost, caught bad breaks, choked, beat themselves, etc. However you want to write it is irrelevant. They’ll record it whatever way they prefer, and they’ll never tell the whole story. Just the sour endings.
