Greatest all-time Sabres... names

[Weave]

One thing has become clear to me. We really haven't had very many entertaining names over the years. Playfair feels like the best name to me so far.

 

Given the game he played, Playfair gets it.

[X. Benedict]

My favorites.

 

Morris Titanic. (2 games played)

Uwe Krupp

Mikko Mikela

Gates Orlando (sounds like a bad porn name)

Paul Szczechura (buy a frickin vowel)

Rasmus Ristolainen

Vaclav Varada

Darren Puppa

Darcy Wakaluk

Beniot Hogue

Dave Snuggerud

Alexi Zhitnik

Lou Franscheschetti (barely a Sabre)

Yvon Lambert, mainly for the RJ goal calls.

[PASabreFan]

Steve Shields in, Barrasso out, per popular request. But Shields gets Barrasso's votes. No workaround there that I see. Seems fair.

Could it be....SATAN?????

We'll start our all-time lineup of greatest Sabres names with goalie and defense.

 

If only Ogden Nash had been a hockey fan. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/poetry/po_line.shtml

Daren Puppa runs away with the slot in goal, while Larry Playfair and John Van Boxmeer are your oddly named (and nicely balanced) defensemen.

 

Onto the forwards.

I can't vote for some reason.

I can't vote for some reason.

You have to delete your old vote first.

 

 

You have to delete your old vote first.

 

Edit: Nevermind. I deleted my old votes, made my new ones, and it gave me an error message.

[PASabreFan]

I replaced the names in the old poll questions. I think I might have to delete all three questions and start from scratch.

 

Fixed. It seems to be working now.

The RW are tough. I can't believe I actually had to pass on voting for Satan.

[SwampD]

I always liked the name Miroslav (because of Miroslav Vitous, also a cool name), but add Satan to it and it's a no brainer.

 

And Vaclav Varada sounds like a bad guy from Flash Gordon.

Bump.

 

Orlando centering Snuggerud and Titanic in the lead for top line status.

Time of thread death 1:56.

 

Your all time greatest Buffalo Sabres names:

 

Puppa in goal

 

Playfair and Van Boxmeer on D

 

Orlando between Snuggerud and Titanic top line

 

Girgensons between Deadmarsh and Satan second line

 

Could this team beat the 2014-15 Sabres?

Good question.

[PASabreFan]

Good question.

 

I think that second line plus Puppa and that really good D pairing would beat this team in a best of 7. Gus is going to get pretty tired though.

I think they could beat them tomorrow.

Jocelyn Geuvremont is a better D name than Boxmeer imo. Playfair was just ironic.

[Claude Balls]

Jean Luc Grand Pierre

 

Bruce Shoebottom....oops, wrong team.
