[ThisDateInBuffaloSportsHistory] OTD in 2006 Jochen Hecht and Jason Pominville each record hat tricks in the Buffalo Sabres 10-1 over LA Kings. Hecht’s is his only as a Sabre and Pominville’s is a natural hat trick. This will be the 4th time the Sabres score 10 in the 21st century.

And the person Botterill replaced him with, Jimmy Vesey, which the Sabres paid a 3rd for.
I was at this game as a teenager. Threw my hat on the ice twice (retrieved it after the first hat trick).
I was at this game. The Kings pulled the starting goalie for the backup, and then eventually put the starter back in because the backup was so terrible. I’ve never seen that before, especially since no injuries were involved.
Pom is one of my favorite Sabres ever. Also Afinogenov
Hecht was one of my favorites that guy could kill some penalties and produce as a bottom 6 guy. Consistent play all the time I appreciate that part even more now
Jochen Hecht was my First sabres Jersey, became a fan in 2012 so I feel like I missed a lot of these great games, hopefully we’re closer than we all think to great games like this being the regular again
