I don’t always agree with you, but I find it very easy to have a discussion about those things with you which isn’t always the case. There would be far more vitriol without you here. You also take stands for posters against the mods when you thinks it’s necessary and I appreciate that. That is very kind; thank you.

Thorny Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I'll vote @dudacek Honorable Mention to @Brawndoand @Eleven, among others deserving. Sabrespace has provided me unmeasurable comfort and distraction since I joined in 2015, and I appreciate everyone who posts on the regular - and I feel lucky to have been welcomed by the posters who've been here from long before I was. Cheers. In some cases, these posters, in their advanced age, have melded into the internet walls of Sabrespace itself, becoming one with the site forever more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 It's interesting how the informal nominations line up with the Top Contributors feature, where people get a vote when you give positive feedback to a post. I'll put Doohickie over the top based on his "votes" in the past month and week. Solid meme work and he often checks my cynicism. (I eventually toss him off with one hand and stickhandle with the other, but he tries.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I only care about beating the legendary @Hossto 20k posts. I've had to Simon Whitfield-out to do it, too. After that, I'm retiring. You know what you did, Hoss. You know what you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who after another last place finish, still sees things as looking up...and I don’t mean looking up at all the teams in the standings above the Sabres. Well, that's one way of looking at it. While I said on another thread that we will get back to our former glory days and to be contenders yet again, I don't want to be considered. I don't have nearly the amount of inside hockey knowledge that some of the other guys mentioned do. Having said that, I totally agree with all of the guys mentioned. @Brawndo and @Elevenare at the top of my list - and no disrespect intended toward the other nominees.

Taro T Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) With the exception of Brawndo, will stick with people I didn't notice get mentioned / only noticed they were mentioned once: Randall Flagg Raki Chz Marvin D4rk LTS SwampD NS Inky Tom Webster Weave 11 Charlie Hoss Thorny MODO nFreeman JohnC Radar & Brawndo. Didn't include people like Woody & Carp who are very valuable posters but still seem to be on self selected hiatus. Edited May 10, 2021 by Taro T Rounded it up to 20 - still missed some deserving ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Officially, the final cut is LGR4GM, Brawndo, TaroT, Thorny, MODO, inkman, dudacek and Doohickie. Eleven got two nominations, but it was unclear if other mentions were nominations per se. It is in my purview to grant a third nomination under special circumstances. So add Eleven to the list. Pimlach has two votes. Here's someone's chance to put him over the top. Now, I also have special powers to nominate and to correct any egregious omissions. Thus, I will add rakish, DarthEbriate and Marvin, Sabres Fan, who all have made impressive contributions in their unique ways. As a wild card (but not WildCard), in the tradition of Time magazine not actually naming a specific person for man/person of the year, I nominate The Game Thread Poster as poster of the year. There were some folks who heroically posted during every game from the sweet beginning to the bitter end. Too many to single out. I'll wait a bit longer to see if any other bodies float to the surface. Apologies to anyone who feels slighted. You know who you are. I think everyone recognizes there could be many winners of this award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 The winner has been notified and asked to make a speech but has humbly declined and asked that his victory not be publicly acknowledged.
