  • Zamboni changed the title to What in the world is this crazy Sabres photo? And like … why?

It’s from a Sports Illustrated Article from the February 10th, 1997 

 

Quote

What's also of import in Buffalo is the Robe. In a nod to the
dress of boxers entering the ring, trainer Jim Pizzutelli began
a tradition of awarding a robe in Sabres colors to any Buffalo
player who displays extraordinary merit, not necessarily of the
pugilistic variety. Ray, May and Hasek have theirs. Barnaby
eagerly awaits his, naked aggression apparently being the best
way to get robed.

I already posted this photo in my thread Favorite Sabre Photos a couple days ago. It was in the original post. I take it that you didn't see that?

And I started this thread on Saturday night. Which is five days ago.  I take it you didn’t see that? And the fact that you brought this up …. Um … weird.

This photo has been shown on this forum upteen times over the years. Not sure why anyone is acting like it’s never been seen before. 

Hey Curmudgeon, I have never ever put my eyes on that photo before in my life until Saturday when I created this thread.  So I’m not acting. Good day to you.

I've been here, I think, 15 years or so and I don't recall seeing that photo either lol. 

Oh, you don't recall, Senator. Is what you're saying under oath before this committee? ... Trish put up the slide.

There is an audible gasp. Cameras click and flash like a fireworks display. Senator McConnell's fourth chin quivers. In the gallery, an elderly lady faints.

My God, Senator Woody, have you no shame!?
