4. There will be no outdoor replay prior to the Winter Classic of the 1978 preliminary playoff round in which the Sabres defeated the Rangers 2-1. The Post has learned that the NHL is going without an alumni game at Citi Field in advance of the Jan. 1 main event.
That’s unfortunate. Pat LaFontaine and Drury could have played for both sides, so could Marty Biron, Randy Moller, Ray Sheppard, Brad Brown, Dmitri Kalinin and Lindy Ruff.
And It would have been mighty entertaining to watch Don Murdoch (who scored the Game 2 OT winner at MSG in that barely remembered series) go in one-on-one against Jim Schoenfeld.
Oh well.
