Claude_Verret Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 An interesting thing when looking up Gates Orlando is that like a lot of these marginal former Sabres, he finished up his career in Europe. Then he came out of retirement to play one game in 2003 at the age of 41 for the Albany River Rats. He is currently a scout with the Devils.

Claude_Verret Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 No. Not McKegney, not Val James and I know it's not Grier because he is a current Sabre....... so then it must be Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had Rumun Ndur at the same time as Grand-Pierre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-L G-P indeed. That photo is from a real estate office in Ohio where he's an agent. http://www.therainesgroup.com/staff.php I wonder if the Sabres have been the most diverse team in the NHL over the years, at least in terms of African-American players. McKegney, James, Fuhr, Grand-Pierre, Ndur (stick tap to shrader), Grier, who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude_Verret Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hey Claude, is your avatar one of Bromley's masks? He some wild ones, some perfect for Halloween. Yes. I was googling him for my next attempt to stump people in this thread. He did have some great ones. If you do a google image search for "Gary Bromley" they all come up. This one is great.

Eleven Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Atlanta can almost match that list this year alone. I have heard rumors that this was deliberate, in a marketplace with a lot of African-Americans with significant disposable income. A smart way to build a fanbase and promote the game to youngsters, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yes. I was googling him for my next attempt to stump people in this thread. He did have some great ones. If you do a google image search for "Gary Bromley" they all come up. This one is great. That mask in your avatar is probably one of my favorite goalie masks of all time. You can buy reproductions. I've debated getting one with a small eye cage so I can use it for pickup games with friends that I don't have to worry about getting hurt around. It'd be great to wear one in a game. You just can't do mask art like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look great on a shelf in my man cave, but at $400 I don't think I could justify it to the wife! Gary Bromley Sabres mask reproduction.

X. Benedict Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Actually went to hs with Tony's son. Tony McKegney had great hands and a quick accurate shot. And although he really didn't have great speed he was quick in tight space, he played with passion and loved setting up in the circles. I always thought he was one of the most under-rated Sabres. But he usually put up great numbers on the second line and had a knack for lighting the lamp. I think Andreychuk made him expendable. He'll always be one of my favorite Sabres.
