[Brawndo]

Zach Benson will wear #6, while Josh Norris is taking #9

Is Sabres Media that clever?

My age is showing, but I'll always think of Schoeny as #6

They have to be. There’s no way they did that by accident.

Wonder how much Norris had to pay him for that?

Certainly not by accident. Whether it's clever is up for debate.

Now, when the starting lineup is Benson-Norris-Thompson and they go stand in line for the anthems (in the playoffs), will I snicker? Also up for debate.

that was very intentional.

the kids doing the Sabre socials there are pretty good.

I am outraged at the lack of respect shown the leadership of Girgensons and Okposo.

The blood sweat and tears on those jerseys were barely dry.

[PerreaultForever]

I keep seeing people saying this is the first time a forward has worn 6 but technically Housley came in as a center AND defenseman. 

I just hope Norris plays more than 9 games this season. 

[dudacek]

6 suits Benson: squat, old school and in defiance of expectations.

I need Norris to be fully engaged in being a long-term key Sabre. Silly, but that felt like step in the right direction.

Wanted Kess to take 5 or 6 but 8 works.

I like that all these numbers are old school.

Danforth already the most likable 15 in team history. 😜

I don't get it.

A team that hasn’t scratched winning in 15 years has an official account making sex jokes 

That’s our Buffalo Sabres now

Sabre official social media team bolded the word “nice” in reference to a joke that was relevant about the last time the team made the playoffs, the context of the joke being a reference to two people performing oral sex one one another at the same time

Suppose "scratched" works, but "sniffed" fits the motif better.  MHO.  YMMV.

Housley did not “come in” as a center. They eventually tried him at center but originally he was strictly a defenseman.

Sarich 6
Rasmussen 9

Remembering some guys.

Rasmussen was in the league for 9 seasons (7th overall a career fourth liner is a bit disappointing, for sure). But Sarich played 15 solid years, won a Cup, and fell a half-season short of 1000 games played.

I had no idea Corey Sarich was in the league that long.

I don’t think the teenage intern in charge of running their social media account is allowed to stay up that late
