The Sabres have been airing classic games on MSG on Monday nights, and tonight's game features Buffalo's final visit to storied Montreal Forum.
The game was played Jan. 6, 1996, and (spoiler alert!) featured Pat LaFontaine scoring the winning goal in a 7-6 victory over the Canadiens. LaFontaine, who was in town last week for an alumni fundraiser, will provide commentary during the two-hour broadcast, which starts at 8 p.m.

He is a member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association and can vouch that exposed flesh freezes instantly when walking in downtown Winnipeg in January.
