PASabreFan Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Damn. Ok, maybe I was wrong and you will get this one. Good ones. I wouldn't have gotten Virta. Is this one Gilles Hamel? Just to clean up the previous "easy one" -- Tom Barrasso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the other one is Barrasso, currently the goalie coach down here with the Canes. The other one is not Hamel. I have a hint that will likely give it away, but I'm interested to see if DD can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 How are you getting these, at your age?! The Sabres franchise is chalk full of mediocre players that have been made fun of for years. I just profile the picture I see, then run through a few who I figure it could be. Makkela was easy because of the blonde hair. Hannu Virta is one of the first names I think of from back then. Mal Davis was interesting, because the radio show looks from Finland, but the guy looks irish. I was thinking Sean McKenna off the top of my head, but then I googled the radio host and the paper trail led me to him. I used to follow sports at 4 years old. My dad was a cop and would take me to the precient when I was 8 to compete in sports trivia and win money from the other cops. They got a kick out of it. Then on the way home I would look for people that resembled the police sketches on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Mal Davis scored either the tying goal or the winning goal in probably the greatest comeback in Sabres history. The Bruins led 6-1 early in the second period at the Aud, and the Sabres scored six unanswered to win 7-6. (Looked it up -- Davis got the winner.)

Yeah, I'm afraid this is too hard to catch on as a good feature. As soon as we solve Claude's stumper, I have some easier ones ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 ?? king kong looks OK...reces monkey?? I know. He's still in decent shape. A lot smaller though. Larry Playfair still looks like he did in '86. I wouldn't mess with Larry. Korab, I have a fighting chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Titwide Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Moving closer to the turn of the century for the youngens: Peca's pet Dixon Ward! These are extremely entertaining to me. As a previous poster commented, the overwhelming obscurity of a lot of these guys makes it somewhat nostalgic to think back to their time period.

As a previous poster commented, the overwhelming obscurity of a lot of these guys makes it somewhat nostalgic to think back to their time period. Dixon was great. Loved that Ward-Peca-Varada line. By the way, that photo comes from a site that says Ward is a hockey coach and vice president of a hockey school in British Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
