PASabreFan Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Tonight we welcome the third Johansson into the ranks of all-time Sabres players. Calle, the defenseman from the late 80s (40-some points as a rookie, then traded to Washington the next year, where he hung around for 15 years — another oopsie!), and Marcus and Jonas of today. Three other last names join the Johanssons with at least three players represented. Name them. Hint (teeny one): they are all very common last names (in North America, anyway).

Weave Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 The only thing I can think of is the two versions of Ramsey/Ramsay Oh snap! There is a Miller on the team now. It is MIller. Brad, Ryan, and the guy RK won't let play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad was traded to Buffalo on March 8, 2004, on the eve of the trade deadline. Curtis was traded away the next day. So... yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother matchups would actually be a fun one. There are so many options there. You now have me wondering if Marty Biron ever got a chance to play against his little brother (the little brother who was like 5 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier).

msw2112 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Don't forget: Steve Patrick and James Patrick. Was there a third? And I'm pretty sure there were only two, but we had father Mike Foligno and son Marcus Foligno. Too bad Nick Foligno, a pretty good player for the CBJ, isn't a Sabre.
