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.

There are no other criteria for voting, other than your love for a given Sabre, or lack thereof.

We begin with Sabres from the end of the Darcy era and the beginning of the Pegula era.

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.

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.

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.

Ah I see. Then my question is, why wasn't Girgensons one of your players?? :P

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

That's because you've been touched by Boyes.
