dudacek Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) This is more of an off-season type thread, but considering how horrible things are I figured we need the distraction. This is a survivor poll designed to determine the board's favourite Sabres of all-time. It works like this: I post a list of a bunch of Sabres from an era of the franchise. You vote for your least favourite Sabres on the list After a few days, I close the poll, cut the guys with the most votes and start again Once the list gets small enough I add another era of players. Last two Sabres standing from any given group get a promotion to finals. And we continue our way through the history of the franchise. You do not have to vote from each group. The groups are only important in terms of promotions. Sabres will make it to the finals without being promoted. Technically, you can vote for as many as you want, but if you aim for three it makes the game work better. There are about 120-130 Sabres included. I've tried to stick with people who were with the franchise for a long time and/or played prominent roles. Write-in votes welcome. If I've forgotten anyone who gets a lot of support, it's easy enough to add someone. Names in spoiler.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 You have one too many "e"s in Petr Svoboda's name. ----- Weber Ott Pominville Grier
dudacek Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks. Fixed. You've gotta vote for the players on the poll.
dudacek Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 Not sure why Kim is involved. It's not just limited to players. She owns the team and seems to be a favourite of more than few posters.
Eleven Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 It's not just limited to players. She owns the team and seems to be a favourite of more than few posters. Does she own a piece of the team? I know she is a co-owner of the Bills; I'm not too sure about the Sabres.
dudacek Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 Does she own a piece of the team? I know she is a co-owner of the Bills; I'm not too sure about the Sabres. I'm not sure. I've always thought the team was owned by the Pegula family and Kim seems to take a very active role.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks. Fixed. You've gotta vote for the players on the poll. Sorry. So, for this poll we are in The Tank era? If so ... Please change my votes to ... Weber Ott Gorges Regehr
Randall Flagg Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Sorry. So, for this poll we are in The Tank era? If so ... Please change my votes to ... Weber Ott Gorges Regehr How come these guys are your least favorite, NS?
darksabre Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 I was expecting this to be the bizzaro Drew Stafford thread.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 How come these guys are your least favorite, NS? I give up. I thought it was favourite Sabre ....... I am so out of this poll. I'm not smart enough to even read it right. Maybe I thought it was in the Bizarro World of the CHL.

Maybe I thought it was in the Bizarro World of the CHL. Ah I see. Then my question is, why wasn't Girgensons one of your players?? :P
Stoner Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Dudes, you might want to change the thread title. Wait, never mind. Between this and the CHL, I don't know if I'm coming or going. Edited November 2, 2014 by PASabreFan
deluca67 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 I was expecting this to be the bizzaro Drew Stafford thread. Give it time.
Stoner Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Eleven and Zemgus and GMTM, but not Kim Pegula, sittin' in a tree...
qwksndmonster Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Eleven, Physics, pastajoe, Eric, and blugold43. You 5 are on notice for selecting Andrej Sekera. How dare you. Edit: Numark and Ghost, I thought I liked you two. :angry: Edited November 3, 2014 by qwksndmonster
IKnowPhysics Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Sekera, and I understood that he was developing well. But I'm dropping three guys in every group, and he doesn't make the cut, barely, past local boy Marcus Foligno. Similar thing with Regehr and Ehrhoff.
Eleven Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 I don't think Sekera has any chance of being voted all-time favorite Sabre, so I have no problem sparing him humiliation and telling him to leave the island early.
Samson's Flow Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) This is going to take a loooong time if we only vote off 3 players from the list at a time. You must have had 200 or so names in that spoiler list. Disclaimer: I in no way counted the number of names in the list so I could be way off. Don't be a dick.

Eleven Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 I'm sorry, I like to follow the rules to this made up game... That's because you've been touched by Boyes.
