Maybe some irony here. When Cyr was drafted, I remember him being touted as the next "Rico Martin" based on his shooting ability. He never lived up to that, but I still liked him as a player. What a shame that both had heart-related problems and died young.

Condolences to his family! I’m I pulling a Clement’s misremembering moment, or wasn’t he shot in Mexico or somewhere similar while on vacation during his stint here?

I'm pretty sure it was well after his stint in Buffalo but , yeah, Cyr was shot in the ass in Mexico I recall. Seems to me that speculation was a drug buy gone bad or something.

Just read Buff News. Too busy today with great weather. Shot in "in abdomen in in 1987 in Dominican Republic by a taxi driver." I thought it was his leg also. Yea, remember the drug thing too.

sad news - may perpetual light shine upon his face.

 

with that out of the way, i will say two things:

 

1. born when i was, cyr was the player that all of the girls adored during the middle school years. sure, there were some who were partial to sean mckenna or andreychuk -- but cyr was the real heart throb.

 

2. didn't he once use ray borque as a punching bag?

 

EDIT: well, it was a good scrap anyway.
