LGR4GM Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/43334717/nhl-alex-ovechkin-goal-record-wayne-gretzky-mike-knuble-teammates Quote "I (Mike Knuble) kind of was spitballing with somebody: 'Well, who's played in Washington and with the New York Rangers that's also about my age?' I'm like, 'There's nobody really. So maybe it's just me,'" he said. Knuble was a 26-year-old forward with the New York Rangers in 1998-99, the final season of Gretzky's career. He played three seasons with Ovechkin in Washington (2009-10 through 2011-12) before finishing his career at age 40 with the Philadelphia Flyers. "The fact that Ovi is nipping at Gretzky's heels is just crazy," Knuble said. Fun read and something cool to burn 10mins on. 1 3 Quote
Pimlach Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 Maybe we should hire Knuble as the next Sabres GM? Quote
LTS Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 I came across that article this morning. Definitely a good read. Thanks for sharing. Quote

Look at the Michigan hockey roster from 1994-95, featuring a former Sabres GM as Knuble's teammate. That team also featured long-time NHL player Brendan Morrison and Mike Legg, who is famous for "the Michigan" (the circus goal from behind the net with the puck flat on the stick tucked into the top corner - ESPN did a feature story on it).
