Rick and Ted a broadcast award. Elmer Ferguson is the writers award and Foster Hewitt is the broadcasters award. 3 of one, 2 of the other. Buffalo has historically been very blessed with the coverage we've received of our Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Charlie Barton was the old Courier Express columnist who won the Ferguson Award from the NHL HHOF. He died in 1972. No wonder I don't remember him. With @Taro T's permission, I'll re-post this follow-up question now that we have completed the prior question. With KO and Skinner on the verge of 1000 games in Blue and Gold, how many others reached that milestone while playing for the Sabres? My research on this question actually revealed 11 players so far who played their 1000th game as a Sabre.

Craig Ramsay is No. 2. Mike Ramsey actually got his 1000th Det. 9 to go. Gilbert and Ramsay are the only two Sabres to play their entire career in Buffalo and reach 1000. The other 9 guys played the later stages of their careers in Buffalo, but 5 of these players made significant impact here in Buffalo. One was also a Sabres draftee.

According to wiki, tho, the HHOF did establish the award. One day it will be Harrington's turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly no to Andreychuk and Dougy got his in Tor 3 years before he came here. A few more hints. 2 came during this rebuild. 3 played on the Drury/Briere teams, including one who retired during the rebuild, one who is currently a top Jr coach whose brother also played for the Sabres, and one who is a current NHL GM. Another is a HOF center. Another is 6x Cup winner and HoF LW who somehow ended his career in Buffalo. The last 3 all played their final game in Buffalo after long and solid careers.
