MattPie Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Who was the best, or your favorite, Sabre to wear #22? Our Contestants (Adam Mair, Wayne Primeau, Charlie Huddy, Craig Simpson, Rick Vaive, Lindy Ruff, Jocelyn Guevremont, Peter McNab, Doug Rombough, Ray McKay, Rod Zaine, Don Marshall.) Mair, but that's mostly because it's fresh in my mind and I was pretty young when the rest played. 2. Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? More. The Sabres are going to be ahead so much this year opponents are going to pick fights to try to swing the momentum back in their favor. :) 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? Not much, I'm going to be on the bike camping most of the weekend and it's tough to bring serious cooking gear. Some Sahlens hot dogs are in the picture though.
Taro T Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Who was the best, or your favorite, Sabre to wear #22? Our Contestants (Adam Mair, Wayne Primeau, Charlie Huddy, Craig Simpson, Rick Vaive, Lindy Ruff, Jocelyn Guevremont, Peter McNab, Doug Rombough, Ray McKay, Rod Zaine, Don Marshall.) The Best - Vaive; Favorite - Guevremont (still one of the coolest names ever). 2. Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? Less. But at any rate, I'd expect them to be w/in 5 of last year's total. 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? Probably grilling up Spiedies & CotC.
shrader Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Who was the best, or your favorite, Sabre to wear #22? Pass. 2. Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? I'll go with a Michael Wilbon on this one and say "push". 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? Recovering from a hangover, I'll be lucky if I eat anything all day. Still, sounds like fun.
Weave Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Rick Vaive. I was a big fan of his. I wanted someone dead when he was suckerpunched in the back of the head late in his stay here. (Can't remember who the offender was, Michele Petit comes to mind but I don't think it's correct) Fewer major penalties. Cody McCormick was in the top 10 (#6 if I remember correctly) for fighting majors last year. I don't see that repeating. And Kassian won't be making his presence felt just yet. Oh baby. This is going in the "who cooks butt" thread too. I gots 2 racks of beef ribs in the fridge for tomorrow. Beef back ribs to be specific, think bovine version of pork baby backs. 250F for 6-7 hrs with a tangy, tasty barbeque sauce to finish. Roasted beet salad and homemade mac-n-cheese as sides. Smoked bacon wrapped jalapenos and cilantro flatbreads as teasers before the main course. And whiskey and cigars on the patio as a nightcap. :w00t:

Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? 1) gotta go with Vaive and the horsecollar 2) Fewer. They'll be a tougher team to play against but smarter. Fewer PKs, Regehr takes few penalties. And I think Kaleta knows he is going to have to change his game to survive. Weber may end up with the most pending how much ice time he gets. 3) Yet another outdated Bills jersey--Poz or Evans this time, both of whom I thought would be locks to stick around for years... :doh:
Cereal Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Who was the best, or your favorite, Sabre to wear #22? Our Contestants (Adam Mair, Wayne Primeau, Charlie Huddy, Craig Simpson, Rick Vaive, Lindy Ruff, Jocelyn Guevremont, Peter McNab, Doug Rombough, Ray McKay, Rod Zaine, Don Marshall.) I wanted to say Bob Sweeney (the weanie), but I think he was #20. Simpson was the last of these I can remember. 2. Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? More. I expect a tougher team. I expect Weber to get involved more, possibly Foligno or Kassian in callups. Oh yeah, and Regehr! EDIT: Just checked, since 2001, Regehr's been good for 60 to 90 PIM per season. Not sure how many were majors, though. nhl.com 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? We don't get Labor Day off here, but tomorrow is the first VT football game. For the tailgate, I always begin early and ALWAYS start with a hamburger with pancakes for the bun, drowned in syrup and ketchup. We're usually good as well for: hot dog, stuffed inside a brat, wrapped in two strips of bacon, on a bun. Fantastic. I once made "Cinco Carne Extremo", which is hotdog stuffed in brat wrapped in bacon inside a strip steak (like a hard taco) covered in turkey chili. It was a mess.

I once made "Cinco Carne Extremo", which is hotdog stuffed in brat wrapped in bacon inside a strip steak (like a hard taco) covered in turkey chili. It was a mess. Howinthehell do you stuff a hotdog into a brat? Do you have to hollow the brat out first?
dEnnis the Menace Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Who was the best, or your favorite, Sabre to wear #22? I was always a Mair fan. 2. Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? I expect them to take more, but only slightly. 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? My grandfather is making steaks this weekend (Sunday night I think?), and I plan on spending a large portion of the weekend either drunk or hungover...I'm heading out to Buffalo to visit family and friends(from Hertal all the way up to Lewiston...lots of driving around).
LastPommerFan Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Howinthehell do you stuff a hotdog into a brat? Do you have to hollow the brat out first? It's called docking. Google it. Not from work...
Skibum Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Not even a nod of recognition for Brad Boyes at 22?
X. Benedict Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Who was the best, or your favorite, Sabre to wear #22? Jocelyn Guevremont +142 in Blue/Gold is 4th best for Sabre D-men. Always surprised he hasn't gotten more Sabre Hall consideration. 2. Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? I think slightly less. Usually the first two games are good for about 2 or 3 offsetting majors. With the games in Europe...I have a hunch the gloves will stay on. 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? Beef on Weck one night, Sahlen's and Bubba burgers the next.
X. Benedict Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Posted September 2, 2011 Not even a nod of recognition for Brad Boyes at 22? You could make a case...he hasn't played a full year yet though.
james duncan Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 You could make a case...he hasn't played a full year yet though. You could make a case that he hasn't played a full game yet too...
5th line wingnutt Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Vaive was probably best, Ruff was my favorite, Jocelyn Guevremont had the best hockey name, honorable mention to McNab, Huddy, and Simpson for being good. 2. Too early to tell. Will Kaleta calm down? Will Kassian be a factor? etc. 3. Filet mignon on the char grill. I saw a grilled potato salad on the cooking channel that involved green beans and feta cheese. Gonna download the recipe and make that. Also some kind of green salad. Cherry cobbler, with vanilla ice cream for desert.
LabattBlue Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Lindy. 2. Less. I would vote more if Kassian made the Sabres right out of training camp, but I think he will spent the majority of the year in Rochester. 3. Maybe some hot dogs on the grill either Sunday or Monday. Will be busy most of the weekend.
R_Dudley Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Who was the best, or your favorite, Sabre to wear #22? Our Contestants (Adam Mair, Wayne Primeau, Charlie Huddy, Craig Simpson, Rick Vaive, Lindy Ruff, Jocelyn Guevremont, Peter McNab, Doug Rombough, Ray McKay, Rod Zaine, Don Marshall.) Tough one between Ruff and Vaive but even though Lindy played more games I think Vaive had the better mullet 2. Do you expect the Sabres to take more or less Major Penalties than last year (30 total)? More with the additon of the seasoned Dmen and another year of growing into his size for Tyler 3. Watcha' cookin' this Labor Day weekend? Standard picnic fair, hot dogs, chicken, burgers
Weave Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Rick Vaive. I was a big fan of his. I wanted someone dead when he was suckerpunched in the back of the head late in his stay here. (Can't remember who the offender was, Michele Petit comes to mind but I don't think it's correct) Darrin Kimble. That's right. That's the summanabritch that sucker punched Vaive from behind. Didn't Vaive miss time with a head injury after that? hate that guy.
fushetti Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Rick Vaive getting suckerpunched by Kimble
spndnchz Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1) What area of the body is it? 2) Is it a tingling or a real burning? 3) Does lotion or a cool bath help?
Weave Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Rick Vaive getting suckerpunched by Kimble hate that guy. And hate Christian Ruuttu for standing there and watching Kimble skate away. really hate that guy. :blink:
wjag Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 1. Lindy 2. Less... Not convinced a Lindy coached team will goon it up no matter what the parts 3. Grilling grill stuff
spndnchz Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Mair (more my era) More majors, less minors Crashing a wedding
2ForTripping Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Lindy Much more 10 full slabs of beef ribs low n slow in my Big Green Egg
LastPommerFan Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 Lindy- Got my dad a #22 Jersey for his birthday a couple years ago, almost made him cry More major penalties. Our defense is going to frustrate a LOT of teams. Coffee and Ramen Noodles at Work :death:
