I had my "widow maker artery" stented now almost twenty years ago but my heart damage was minimal. Sounds like this could be severe.

Simply telling us you got "stuck" being Robert would've said that all by itself. 😉 #14 - get well soon. Plaese don't hurry off yet. Rico'll be waiting for you and Bert at the bar w/ a good single barrel malt & stogies.

klos1963 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Got his autograph when the Great Skate opened on Sheridan drive, mid 70's. Carried it in my wallet til it basically disintegrated after many, many years. My first favorite Sabre. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert was a fine two way winger. He really were no weak points to his game and he fit in perfect with Gilbert and Rico 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet somehow, I am, and was, cool with that. being the unheralded one. If we were girls, I'd have been the Kate Jackson of Charlie's Angels I suppose. She was my favorite of the 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Get well soon! I never saw him play. I started watching just after he was traded for one of my all time favorite Sabres John Van Boxmeer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spun Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Robert led the Sabres in goal scoring (5) in their very first playoff series in the 1972-73 season. One of those goals was the OT winner in Game Five. The game was interesting in part because of a bizarre measurement of Hab’s goalie Ken Dryden pads that led to a Sabres power play into OT. While not scoring on the PP, the game winner followed soon after. The French Connection was one of the greatest lines in NHL history. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
