This obviously didn't go over well with the people of Buffalo

—@TheBuffaloNewsWide right refers to the 1991 Super Bowl between the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants. Bills kicker Scott Norwood missed a 47-yard field goal — wide right — that would’ve sealed the Super Bowl title for the Bills.
Eight years later, former Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff famously coined the phrase “no goal” after Brett Hull’s controversial triple overtime winner in Game 6 secured the Stanley Cup title for the Dallas Stars against the Sabres.
