Which is why in his 2nd stint, Tallinder wore 20.

Blew through Roy and McKegney and now it's obviously John Tucker.

What? Virta was a better player than Richie Dunn or James Patrick (when he was here).

I still have that album in a closet. In the early 70’s I thought it sounded like good music🤪

I moved on to Billy Sheehan and Talas

I'm one year younger than the team, and it's "you're."  DENIED.  It will be James Patrick.

Number 3 is a oddity.  Not much longevity with the players that wore it -  Robitaille was fun for a few years.  Dunn wore it the longest and was a good 3rd pair guy.  James Patrick was a very solid 6/7, by the time he became a Sabre his career was winding down.  Virta had a few good years and then left. 

Dunn would be my vote.  Patrick was the better player but his best years were before Buffalo.

#2 can only be Tim Horton. 

The only other player to wear #2 was Jim Watson, who was affectionately known as "Dumbo Jim" in my neighborhood street hockey games.

Virta played 245 games putting up for 126 points for the Sabres in a top 4 role until he went home.  Dunn played 325 games over 9 years as a spare part with only 132 points.  Patrick played the most, 345 games, but scored the least, 74 pts. 
 

Garry Galley had the best season wearing 3 when he scored 54 pts in 95/96.
