Grinder42 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I am wondering if people might want to look back in time and state who their favorite players were in the organization. Mine would be Korab, Mcquire,Ray, Foligno, Arneil, Housley, Curtis Brown,LaFontaine and Bob Suave. Biggest Sabre never to make the bigs Andy Ristuu( took Jeff Brubaker and 2 other Skaters to knock him out of an AHL game) A favorite in Rochester was always was Walters ( what a goon!) Wish I could remember the '76 team more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could remember the '76 team more! Nice job remembering Andy Ristau. That's core. Favorite Sabres include Bob Sauve, Larry Playfair, King Kong Korab, Tony McKegney, and Matt Barnaby.

BetweenThePipes00 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 LaFontaine kind of goes without saying I think ... almost impossible not to like the guy, he should be on the "other than ..." list you started with, IMO ... Mike Ramsey, Lindy Ruff, Mike Foligno, John Tucker, Marty Biron ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 What a freaking great topic. Just when we needed something like this, too. I've got to go by era, like a few other folks have, but here we go... Luce (gave me his autograph on a McD's napkin when I was five) Ruff Ramsey Mogilny McKee I guess I'm a defense-first guy, but in the late '80s and early '90s, "defense" was an unknown word in these parts, so Mogilny. Again, great topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinder42 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Jay McKee, Pat Lafontaine, Steve Shields, Jason Dawe (just kidding). Props on John Tucker I will never forget the Hat trick against the Bruins in the Playoffs! And I sadly forgot the man Tony McKegney, he scored many a timely goal for the Sabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresFan526 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Michal Grosek (just kidding). By the way, I know we like to criticize Darcy a lot around these parts, but has he ever made a better trade than Grosek for Gilmour and Dumont? Seriously? Gratton for Briere was pretty good, but Grosek for Dumont and Gilmour is just legendary. Back to the topic. My favorites are definitely LaFontaine, Mogilny, Hawerchuk, and I know it's probably blasphemy around these parts, but Chris Drury as I lived in Trumbull, CT for a few years growing up and always rooted for the guy. I'd also throw in Mike Ramsey, Jay McKee, Housley, and of course Schoenfeld in terms of defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalOhio Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Mike Ramsey. I learned a lot about playing defense by watching how he did it. The man played the game the right way for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsrcursed Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Not even close, Zhitnik :rolleyes: He looked a lot like David duchovny and that's not cool.... I enjoyed the days of Ray, May, and Barnaby. Nothing fancy, but nothing cheap, either. Those boys brought their lunch pales everyday and that's far more entertaining and satisfying than the pre-madonnas of today....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm a young guy so I can't claim players that most do. I have to pick from the late 90s through the present, since I was only 12 when the Sabres went to the Finals in 99. Long nights awake listening to the playoffs and other games on my am/fm headphones bring names like Jay McKee and Jason Woolley, Stu Barnes and Steve Shields, Alexei Zhitnik, Curtis Brown, Geoff Sanderson, Rhett Warrener, JP Dumont, Donald Audette, Chris Gratton. I always used to fall asleep to RJ's voice. I can't really say I had a favorite player then though. I never got to see any games, except for once in 1997. I never had cable so I couldn't watch em. But if I hat to pick, probably Jason Woolley. That name has always stuck in my head. From the more recent era, I really liked Drury when he was here. You could say I had a man crush. I'll always remember him as a great Sabre, and the memories of the 05-06 season. And of course who could forget Marty Biron. What a character!
