nobody Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sabres 2-6-2 in last 10 home games against Blues. I know -- different teams. But sometimes a certain franchise just feels comfortable going into a certain building. Maybe it gets passed from one group of players to the next by the old timers in an organization. That's just because the Blues would show up and see all these fans wearing blue and gold and think it was a home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think the guys all liked Marty and wanted to win a cup with Marty. There was really no reason to trade him away at the deadline if we weren't going to get someone notable back. We made cap room for ZUBRUS and the pick we got was either TJ BRENNAN or DREW SCHIESTEL... but you know what they say, hindsight is 20/20. :beer: It was Brennan, and everyone thought the Sabres needed that tough gritty checking forward that Zubrus is. (And they did need him.) It was the right trade at the time, which means it is the right trade even in hindsight; whether Brennan works out doesn't enter the calculus. (The use of the pick on Brennan wasn't part of the trade.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ForTripping Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Zubrus when he was a Sabre played well until he hurt his knee. During that run he owned Jagr & put him out I believe for the remainder of that NYR series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have a book "The History of the Buffalo Sabres." Chock full of photos. Edwards is wearing this crest in the chapter for the 76-77 season. Another goalie, Al Smith, is wearing the crest with the squiggly tail. There's a large color photo of Don Luce wearing it at home against the Caps. It appears the Caps' goalie is Smith. If it's Gary Smith, he played for the Caps only in the 77-78 season. Do you have a scanner that you could scan and send me those photos? I'll PM you my email if you do. d4rk, it could also be a rookie Andreychuk. But no name on the back -- how is it authentic? Not every year had names on the back. It sorta varied. Initially I thought it was a Gary Bromley jersey because of that fact, however, because of the crest I no longer believe it to be a Bromley. They didn't start putting names on the back consistently until 78-79 I believe. Callaway, those M&N jerseys are sweet. Much nicer than any actual team jersey from that time period haha Team jerseys back then were really sloppy, which makes the legend behind the logo so much fun.

PASabreFan Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Do you have a scanner that you could scan and send me those photos? I'll PM you my email if you do. No, sorry. Edit: But wouldn't a photo work just as well? Not every year had names on the back. It sorta varied. Initially I thought it was a Gary Bromley jersey because of that fact, however, because of the crest I no longer believe it to be a Bromley. They didn't start putting names on the back consistently until 78-79 I believe. I guess the operative word would be "consistently." They are pictured with names on their backs when they beat the Soviets in 1976, and in a handshake line with the Islanders in 1977. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 d4rk, Rip Simonick would be a goldmine of info. on this. I have no idea how you could get in touch with him. Probably not at all during the season, as those guys work unbelievable hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverPowerYou Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Buffalo is playing one of the few teams in the Western Conference that actually has a worse record than them. This can only mean one thing - Buffalo loses. I'm thinking overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleWally Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'll be listening on the WGR550 app for my phone as I drive in from Brooklyn. Hope the Sabras light up Conklin tonight. I still look at the Sabres trading Biron away and picking up Conklin as the end of that Cup run in 2007. Biron at the trade deadline? That'd be a nice pick up, but unfortunately, Lalime will be on the roster come playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
