Interesting that the first player to wear 13 for the Sabres is Jim Schoenfeld when he comes back to the Sabres for his final season in 84-85. However, Housley already has his familiar #6. Not sure why he chose 13 the number is not worn again until the early 90s.

Even going way back to the 6 and 12 team league, I just don't recall many players choosing 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same reason that the 13th floor of City Hall is empty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Andre Savard, I believe? Decent 2-way center who still was not nearly enough to get back for Peter McNab, who became a perennial 40-goal scorer as soon as the Sabres traded him to Boston for Savard (after only his 2nd full NHL season)? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO. Stop retiring numbers of players who haven’t won anything. Gil and Dom are one thing, but our rafters are embarrassing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I disagree… The French connection and Hasek and now RJ. Full stop. I think Tim Horton should not be in the rafters. He played for the Sabres for such a brief moment. didn’t do a whole hell of a lot that made him “rafter worthy” for the Sabres. I understand he lost his life as a Sabre, and that of course is a tragedy. But IMO not “rafter worthy” for Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would include 16 in there as well. It's not his fault he was tiny in an era that goonish hockey still was a huge part of the game. He was truly an amazing talent and a true treat to watch. There's a reason he was the one highly skilled skater that wasn't ushered out the door when Muckler was told to both cut payroll and put a better team on the ice.

I understand he lost his life as a Sabre, and that of course is a tragedy. But IMO not “rafter worthy” for Buffalo. The players of those teams would disagree. I called Jim Schoenfeld on with Paul Maguire on the Budweiser Sports Line and asked what Tim Horton's acquisition and death meant to the team. He choked up and then gave a very passionate explanation on how that team grew up because of Horton and Crozier. I remember him saying that after he died, "we would look down the bench for help from Timmy, but he wasn't there." I also remember Schoenfeld and others weeping openly during the moment of silence after his death. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
