The result was the Islanders took a 3-2 game lead in that series. His goal really demoralized the Sabres, for it was on their home ice, and put them on the brink of elimination. The Sabres lost game 6 and were eliminated from the 1976 playoffs, thanks largely to Bert Marshall's goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28366906.post-53596510350091690492011-04-17T12:19:47.738-07:002011-04-17T12:19:47.738-07:00Bert is one of my childhood friends and provided m...Bert is one of my childhood friends and provided me the chance to enjoy a day with him, his family, friends AND the STANLEY CUP.
