tom webster Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Here is a new question. Three Buffalo Sabres have won the Bill Masterson Trophy. Three other players who have played for the Sabres have won it. Can you name all 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 This Buffalo Sabre was blind in one eye. He would cover the same eye during eye tests with different hands to fool the tester. He played a lot for the Sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had an excellent career with over 1200 games played. He was drafted in the 6th rd (pick 123) in 1991. Tyler Myers might make it this season. He is 82 games short of 1000. Carney was the guy couldn't wrap my mind around and remember his name. Knew he was one but kept thinking his name was Sarich or Butler or ... Would never have guessed O'Donnell.

And yes the 3 non-Sabre winners (not just 2 of them, but all 3) are fairly easy to come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 This is a follow up to my previous 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? I’m not sure whether I have the complete answer for this one. 2 minutes ago, Taro T said: No F'n idea. You named the 2 this kid knows of.

I just spent a few minutes with Hockey-reference and I find there are currently 11 players who played their 1000th game as a Sabres. Good luck, a couple are pretty obscure.

Taro T Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Dude, the deal is supposed to be one of the people that answered the question gets a crack at the next one. Not, if somebody doesn't come up with all 37 answers on their own, you get to go again in perpetuity. There are 5 media members in the HHoF with Buffalo ties. Name them. 3 should be very easy. The other 2 could be easy or hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 And honestly, expect 2 of the other 3 to be easy. The 3rd could be tough. (Personally didn't realize he was in the HHoF.

Jim Kelley is certainly one and probably someone from the long-dead Courier Express By the way only Foster Hewitt is the only media member who is an elected HHof Member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is what this kid wrote. Sorry for being 6 GOOD beers into the evening. Could've been more precise. Apologies. Never said any of them are "elected HHoF members," merely that 5 Buffalo media people are in the HHoF; which is precisely accurate. And yes, Jim Kelley is one of the 5. One of the other 2 is from the "long-dead Courier Express." The other is not. Edited July 6, 2023 by Taro T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Dick Johnston of the News. He, Kelley and the yet unnamed third writer won a press award. Rick and Ted a broadcast award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
