CGorman Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Danny Briere. There was a funny dichotomy to his persona. On the ice he was this explosive spark plug capable of creating offense from anywhere. Off the ice he was this soft spoken easy going guy. I do often wonder what that team would have been if we even just kept him. Oh well, better days are ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I've always been more of a "crest on the front" guy, but something about Jay McKee scratched my itch. He's up there. Hard to top Bert of course. In the Guilty Pleasure category, Afinogenov was also a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Has to be Bert. Must be true for most Sabre fans my age. Players I thoroughly enjoyed watching as an adult would have to include Hawerchuk and Peca and Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagBoy Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 My boring pick is #11, but I always loved Don Luce. 2nd or 3rd line center who could generate offense, but was defensively very responsible and great on the PK. Big honorable mention to Lindy Ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Interesting thread. I think I have to pick Marty Biron. High character guy who was a part of that 05-06 run that was so much fun. He didn't leave the team angry or controversially. He's a huge Buffalo booster and very involved in the community. So many guys have blemishes for me that are hard to overlook. Marty stands out in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'll bite. Hasek. It was a privilege for me to be able to watch (arguably, but persuasively so) the best ever ply his trade in the Blue and Gold. And, sigh, the Black, Red, and Silver.

Players I thoroughly enjoyed watching as an adult would have to include Hawerchuk and Peca and Miller. Interesting. We are probably about the same age, yet I went for players of a different era. Ramsey was a fixture during late teens and into my 20's, Alex and May were from my 20's as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Bert Luce and Schoeny when I was young, loved Alex because that is my name and Peca for his hustle - liked Ales Kotalik just for his name and now our Lord and Savior Mitts.

Winston Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Mine was also Briere back as a kid. Didn’t really have a true favorite until Jack came along. Now it is far and away Eichel. Love that he’s a US-born star and played college hockey. His electric shot doesn’t hurt either. I also genuinely think he’s a good dude (some of his charitable work and public appearances appear authentic and touching). And Josie creates cool pictures of him :D Although I will second that Afinogenov was always a favorite to watch. Oh, and I’m named after #89. In case you were wondering how my father would answer...

drnkirishone Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I would say hasek but the way he left really changed things for me. So I think Soupy might be my favorite. He became everything I love in a defenseman. Skating, passing, stickhandling, and the ability to lay a game altering hit. I still look at prospects in a way that reflects the qualities he played with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Jay McKee Did not see that coming. Why? For me I'm not really sure who it'd be. Matt Ellis is pretty high up there. So is Lehner.

Real Cloutier Still hold a grudge against Dom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
