nobody Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I heard him say that, too. Once. Funny - they just talked about it again with Hamilton. The Sabres are not reporting any reason but they, GR, mentioned how they believe it is concussion related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I seem to remember John Tucker and Paul Cyr being touted as the second coming of Perreault and Martin. Tucker was a good player. Cyr, I'm still angry at. Close your eyes and fire Pauly. :D Sabres trivia: Cyr and Andreychuk were 1st-round picks in a year in which the Sabres had 3 first-rounders (Tucker was a 2nd-rounder that year, IIRC). Without checking, does anyone remember the 3rd first-rounder? He was pretty much a total washout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Norm Lacombe was '83. Wait. You are right! Barraso - Creighton - Lacombe was 83. We forgot Housley, Andreychuk, Cyr was 82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We forgot Housley, Andreychuk, Cyr was 82 Well, serves me right for sponsoring a trivia contest without checking the facts. Boy, Lacombe was the 10th pick in the draft and Creighton was the 11th. Creighton was tall and slow but with good hands. He didn't do much as a Sabre but ended up with a 10-year NHL career, including a 34-goal season with Chicago.

We already had Andreychuk who was as slow as paint. Always liked Creighton's size though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten that Neely was taken with the pick immediately before Lacombe and Creighton! :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: Also, Creighton's career year with Chicago including 224PIM. How come I remember him being a big sissy? :lol: I need to stop looking, I am getting sick...Scott Stevens was selected right before Housley. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 4 other seasons with 92 or more PIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always had the sense that on the Sabres he hadn't grown into his body yet. He was brought up way too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 OK boys -- how 'bout not starting this game with a goal against or a bonehead penalty in the first 5 minutes? Let the crowd roar for a while, then reward them with a goal 8 or 9 minutes into the first, and then another one. Then some hitting, some good D and goaltending, and an ENG to seal it. The Sabres can win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
