Ryan O’Reilly nominated for Lady Byng Award

Would be Ryan's second and the franchise's second. I had no idea (or had forgotten) Perreault won it.

 

Name the two former Sabres who won it...

Certain you just forgot. (Seriously.)

 

Will be disappointed if O'Reilly doesn't win it. He epitomizes the criteria.

Correct. Well, maybe one. :censored:

 

The non-Richard winner Sabel79 was thinking of, I'm pretty sure, is Pierre Turgeon. The second former Sabre to win it is indeed at least a little surprising.

 

I didn't realize Turgeon had won one.

 

That makes THREE former Sabres, not two.  (Not including Perreault.)  You're missing either

Brian Campbell or Alexander Mogilny

Very well deserved.

 

His emo stuff aside, the guy had an objectively remarkable season.

 

Playing against top competition and taking only 2 PIM, while killing face offs and getting solid point production? That’s pretty nuts.

 

Oh, and I read that his one minor was coincidental.

Which one had you missed? (You can just give me the position.)

Brian Campbell.

 

Here's a twist. What player won a Lady Byng before becoming a Sabre?

Very well deserved.

He also had only 2 PIM when he won with Colorado a few years ago. Remarkably, 2 PIM is not the low water mark for Lady Badda Byngers.

ROR was up for it before if memory serves when he was with the Avalanche... he nearly completed a season without a single penalty, and right at the end he got 2 minutes for puck over the glass. I don't remember who got it that year, but I believe Datsyuk was a contender as well.
