Eleven Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 So it occurred to me yesterday that the Sabres have a huge pattern of getting the "wrong" brother of two hockey players. Wrong Foligno. Wrong Niedermayer. Wrong Primeau. Wrong Gretzky. Maybe wrong Seiling. Wrong Maloney. I know I'm missing at least a couple, so please chip in. I do think they have the right Reinhart though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Ooh--wrong Patrick. And they had both of them, too. Well, having the one that became a Sabres assistant coach was more a case of being "in the right place at the wrong time" than being in the meh place at the meh time.

He was and played well for them, but he was a shell of the player that tore it up for the Rags.

Tondas Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Wrong Leino. I'm not sure he has a brother, and even if he does, whether that brother played hockey or not.. Nonetheless, we got the wrong brother. Edited November 5, 2016 by Tondas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Wrong Hamel. Wrong Gratton. Wrong Rolston. Interesting tidbit of useless information ... the Gretzky's were the highest scoring pair of brothers in the history of the NHL. Our Gretzky contributed 4 of those points. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now our former coach never played in the NHL, so I took a some artistic liberties there. And not Chris the other Grattons ... Norm and Gilles.

Thorny Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Reinhart has gotta be our obvious chance to most likely finally get the clearly most successful sibling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) What about the right brothers? Miller, Playfair, Reinhart, Turgeon, Gionta, McKegney, McGinn, Moore (Although Dom sucked here), Regehr, Paiement (Wolf was pretty good in his one season in Buffalo -20 goals) and Stanfield were/are better then their siblings. We drafted the better Miller, Playfair, Turgeon, and McKegney. Is Chris Stewart better then Anthony? What about Chris Drury vs Ted; I think we had the better Drury also. Does Alex Biega count as a Sabre since we drafted him but never gave him a shot at the NHL? We also had both Moller brothers and both Sauve brothers. We also had the lesser Taylor brother, but he is an all time great Amerk. I forgot, we had the wrong Hodgson brother.
