PASabreFan Posted October 22 Author Report Posted October 22 (edited) So in reading a little more about the guy, he just seems to be anti bull sh*t. He faced down Hammy. Not easy. He is a goalie who rejects superstitions. And this: Sabres.com: You grew up on an island (on the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota) going to a one-room school with your sister until age 7. What was that experience like? Lyon: “The story actually stretches further every time somebody writes about it.” And this: Edited October 22 by PASabreFan 1 1 Quote

Olean Times Herald headline: Sabres’ Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen starts important season with conditioning assignment in Rochester: ‘I feel great’ Important season? Sure, the one where you ended up on the end of the bench. Lindy better get this right. Edited October 22 by PASabreFan Quote

That Aud Smell Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 Lyon?! Huh. Well, I say go for it! The only Sabres jersey I own is one my wife arranged to buy through the Sabres Alumni Association (now defunct?) many years ago. She dealt with Larry Playfair, whom she said was a very sweet guy. Anyway, it's a white field #11. Signed by the man himself (not at the time of purchase - but at the arena during a wearing). There are about 8 separate (fairly small) food stains on the thing. I can't bear to wash it because I don't want Gilbert's signature to fade. 1 Quote

PerreaultForever Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 (edited) This could be an entertaining thread. Everybody pick the player name they would pick if they got a free jersey. (I'm saying a free jersey to stop the cheapskates from saying they wouldn't buy a Sabres jersey) Mine would be Benson. It's not even close. Edited October 23 by PerreaultForever 1 Quote

Ironically Peca goat head only Sabres jersey I own. I'll say Tuch but Doan and Quinn on my short list too. Quote
Weave Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 I just can’t get a jersey of a player younger than I am. It just feels….. weird. Id have to go with a legacy name. 2 Quote

That Peca jersey would be a fave for me if I had one. Old school I got a lot I'd be happy with but yes, I meant current (to make it challenging) Quote
SabresBaltimore Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 I have a Ryan O'Reilly jersey I think I got to wear to 1 game before they traded him. Never again. I'll stick to my Pominville jersey for the foreseeable future. I guess though if I got a free jersey for the current roster I'd probably be leaning Benson, so through a very short number of games Lyons and Doan are both candidates. But given my past luck, as soon as I get a jersey the player would be gone (or quit on the team) Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 I have an Eichel, Hodgson, Miller, Dahlin jersey, also a blank throwback. I think I had a Moulson too at one point. The sabres store did a complimentary name change for a couple after players left that had the same number. But yeah, feels weird now donning an Eichel after everything that happened. Quote

It's not even close. When was given the opportunity for a free sweater, chose the only name that will never leave the Sabres family (have they TM'd Sabres Mafia yet?) - Jeanneret. Have since enhanced it with an RJ to the rafters patch. That one now only comes out on special occassions. 1 Quote
