etiennep99 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Q3. Was Alan Haworth francophone? He was born in Drummondville. He played in the QMJHL. He played for the Nordiques. When he moved to Switzerland, he played for Bern which was on the Francophone/germanophone border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Q1. Where are the French defencemen? [Maybe I just don't know enough of their history to find any?] Judging by how teams defend in the QMJHL (ils ne), there are few of them generally.

Doohickie Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Mike Robataille was born in Southern Ontario on the shores of Lake Huron, but that sure is a Frenchie name. That's another D for the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Sauve should be the #1 goalie. And JF Sauve could be a depth player/PP specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Judging by how teams defend in the QMJHL (ils ne), there are few of them generally. On mobile, so I am actually sticking my tongue out at this post right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogue (IMHO) gets disqualified because he hated playing for the "prejudiced against Francophile" Sabres organization. Pretty sure he would boycott the nomination. The fact that their only 2 (up until this coming June) #1 overall picks were both French Canadian & that their most famous line was the French Connection didn't temper his disdain.

GASabresIUFAN Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Juneau played like 9 games for us. How about Jacques Richard? Here are 4 players with Anglo names but are from Quebec Tony McKegney - Montreal, but played in the OHA for Kingston Canadians Derek Smith - Quebec City, but played in the OHA for Ottawa On D and both from Montreal Gord Donnelly he played in the Q and for Les Nordiques Gary Galley - NCAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Sauve should be the #1 goalie. Oh hell yeah. IIRC, he shut out the Habs 2x in a 5-game series once, On mobile, so I am actually sticking my tongue out at this post right now. Ha! Here are 4 players with Anglo names but are from Quebec Interesting factoids. But if you're an anglo from Quebec, doesn't that disqualify you?

WTF is up with his stats? Games/goals/points through his career: 74/13/31 78/27/43 63/17/29 73/12/35 21/2/2 61/10/25 14/3/15 78/52/103 59/15/41 35/9/23 end What the hell happened that one year?

Randall Flagg Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 What? You think Drew Stafford was the first to pull that stunt? Haha. The degree to which that year is an outlier is staggering. His second highest point total is only 41% of his highest. That's freaking insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Flag, Richard was immensely talented but rarely applied it. That year he played on a line with one of the best ever named Peter Statsny. He was moved off the line the next year. My mom used to call him the Turkey” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Put it this way - the equivalent to that scenario is Drew Stafford's contract year being a 122 point pace, rather than the 69 point pace it was. Insane. Flag,Richard was immensely talented but rarely applied it. That year he played on a line with one of the best ever named Peter Statsny. He was moved off the line the next year.My mom used to call him the Turkey” Ah, that would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom used to call him the Turkey” He also was quite likely sober that season. EXTREMELY rampant rumors that he took to the ice drunk during his years in Buffalo. He play, while a Sabre, did nothing to quash those rumors. He showed a lot of promise in Atlanta, which is why the Sabres were willing to part w/ Carriere & a 1st to land him. His was one of the Sabres worst trades ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sauve only got the 2 SOs in Moe-ray-all during the 3 game sweep. Last Sabres series win until May Day in '93.

(Celebrate the Tradition. <_<) If Scotty started tearing down the team when he arrived, and the next playoff series win was over 10 years later, well, hey now, when can we expect our next series win? 2023? (based on Pominville trade beginning the tank). Please let it not be so long away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending upon how it's being defined, it could be said that Scotty started tearing down the team when he arrived in '79-'80. But, if not for the HUGE layoff waiting for the Aisles in '80, that squad might have finally excoriated the Filly Spectrum demons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
