Weave Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/former-sabres-standout-jason-dawe-hopes-connor-mcdavid-breaks-his-ohl-playoff-scoring-record/ Not sure it is worthy of its own thread but I couldn't think of an apropriate catchall thread. For 22 years, former Buffalo Sabres winger Jason Dawe had no idea he owned one of junior hockey’s most prestigious records. Then his phone rang last week. A Canadian reporter left a message informing Dawe that mega-prospect Connor McDavid was approaching his Ontario Hockey League playoff mark of 51 points.

dudacek Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 That's the great thing about prospects I remember when Jason Dawe was going to be Mike Gartner. Now it's Nick Baptiste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Never in a million years would I have guessed Dawe held this record. All I know is in NHL 96 he was one of the slowest players on the Sabres roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Never knew he owned any records. Let alone a record for scoring goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I saw him play at the AUD. Dang I'm getting old. "THAT'S DAWESOME!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Dawe is just another example of a guy who had great offensive numbers in juniors and never made the leap to the NHL. Check out Norm Milley for more mind blowing OHL numbers that didn't mean squat when it came time to turn pro... http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=25968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milley was a pretty good AHLer though! Both Dawe and Milley must have had some clear weaknesses to their games, since both players were selected in the 2nd round.

That Aud Smell Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Dawe was a decent NHL'er there for a few years. Without looking, I'll say he had 3 20-goal seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked up the stats and you nailed it. He just squeaked by with the last one, with 19 goals in Buffalo and then 1 after being traded to the Islanders. It is kind of funny though to see the guy with the best OHL playoff stat line of all time wind up getting traded for Paul Kruse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is in NHL 96 he was one of the slowest players on the Sabres roster. I still scored a ton of goals with him. Only goes to show how unrealistic that game was :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Anyone thought about the tank for a prospect who MIGHT break a Jason Dawe scoring record!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I still scored a ton of goals with him. Only goes to show how unrealistic that game was :-) Homeboy was slowwwww and smallish. Epitome of a Darcy player (Not sure he actually was one). I remember two things about him, gold chains and a ESPN announcer stating "if you crossed Jason Doig with Jason Dawe you'd have Jason Dawg."

That Aud Smell Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Epitome of a Darcy player (Not sure he actually was one). Drafted in 1991, he'd have been some combination of a Meehan/Muckler/Dudley player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBHockey13 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I still scored a ton of goals with him. Only goes to show how unrealistic that game was :-) I used to score a ton of goals on my buddy in NHL '94 with Colin Patterson just to tick him off. When I was working at Stereo Advantage back in the day Petr Svoboda came in once and I told him I liked him in NHL '94 because he was the fastest skater on the Sabres in the game.

Kruppstahl Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hah. What do I remember about Jason Dawe? He used to live across the street from my good buddy out in E. Amherst, off N.French Road. LOL. Dan Kelly, brother of QB Jim Kelly, lived 4 or 5 houses down. LOL. Dawe sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
