  1. Hometown team lineups

    I'd classify anything west of and including Syracuse would be part of the Sabres Hometown team.

    Oh absolutely - I meant the area of NYS between I-84 heading North and West to Syracuse as being debatable as NYC metro area - including the capital area, catskills, lower hudson, and maybe the Adirondacks according to the map on this page.

    But WNY, Finger Lakes and Central NY would be Sabre territory

    Zach Bogosian? Tim Erixon? Francis Bouillon? Matt Gilroy? Mike Komisarek? Brian Lashoff? Nick Petrecki? Rob Scuderi?

     

    Those are the current NHL defensemen from NYS...but the best one would have to be Kevin Shattenkirk.

    (They are mostly players from "New York State," but I think that is fair enough and works here with your "hometown team.")

     

    Maybe Bogosian. But that's a bit of a step-down.

     

    The rest of those guys I'd have to allocate to NYR or NYI. There's probably some debate even as far as Syracuse. But anyone from south of I-84 would definitely count as NYC metro area.

    Not sure if I mis-posted this, or an admin moved it to the LeBronapalooza thread.

    But it really doesn't have a thing to do with the discussion in that thread and I believe belongs in a new thread.

     

    Anyhow, TSN.ca released this article with lineups for the seven Canadian teams if there starting lineups were all hometown players.

    Which got me to thinking: What would the Sabres lineup look like for an all Western and Central NY team

     

    F: Patrick Kane, Ryan Callahan and Dustin Brown

    D: Brooks Orpik & ????

    G: Jimmy Howard

     

    Not too shabby. Albeit defense is a weakness. So we might not keep up with the Canadian teams but not too bad for Americans. Although I'd suspect Minnesota and Boston (given most of New England) would also be tough to beat.
