Hi.

[Stoner]

He's no Ted Darling.

 

Who has a Ted impression?

 

What were some of his greatest calls?

 

I rest my case. And put my helmet on.

[LastPommerFan]

It seems most of the people who voted RJ out are now voting for Hasek.

Ted did a great ......... GIL-BERT-PER-REAULT in 4 syllable stacco with equal emphasis on every syllable that every kid and granny could do.

Other than that, he had such great pipes he didn't really require much in terms of catch-phrases.

 

He was the VOICE.

 

He deserves to be 7 if RJ is top 5.

I wanted Hasek out, but wanted the last non-player out first more. That no good quitter. Now is the time, but many want to see a 11 - 39 final. Poor, Rico.

Rico made it top 3, no lamenting here.

 

I'm amazed at the amount of RJ elimination backlash. Consider that if RJ had no great players (like the ones left) there wouldn't be any of the 'signature' calls. There's much less significance in a meaningless Stafford goal at the end of a 4-1 loss than the Hasek saves, LaFontaine goals or French Connection magic.

imagine some of the play by play guys on the national broadcasts doing the famous moments in sabres history. It would not be the same nor as loved. RJ is sabres hockey and when he finally packs it up and retires a bit of my sabres fandom will retire too.

[Andrew Amerk]

I'm not voting any further.

 

Some of you voted out RJ, which is a travesty. The man has made me cry on multiple occasions; no Sabres skater has ever done that.

Then why did you vote for Rico in this round?

He didn't, Kim Jong Un hacked his account.

Not even Stafford?

[Drunkard]

Isn't it about time to move this along to a vote for the final 2 yet? I'm not sure if it has generally been set intervals between rounds but this last one seems to have taken longer than most. Instead of abstaining from voting I think I'm gonna cast my final vote for Perreault because I think more of the people rooting for him to win were the ones who voted out Jeanneret so to exact a tiny bit of revenge and gain a little bit of self satisfaction I'm going to vote to keep the butt ###### quitter who chose Detroit over us instead of our first ever pick.

 

On a side note, was Taro Tsujimoto ever an option in this poll? I don't think he was but can't remember for sure. If not, it would've been cool to see his name on the list just to see if he would've made the top 10.

[dudacek]

The all-time favourite Sabres top 10:

 

1.

2.

3. Rick Martin

4. Rick Jeanneret

5. Jim Schoenfeld

6. Pat Lafontaine

7. Rene Robert

8. Danny Gare

9. Mike Peca

10. Mike Ramsey

 

​The final matches is here

[LastPommerFan]

There can be only one.

Ted did a great ......... GIL-BERT-PER-REAULT in 4 syllable stacco with equal emphasis on every syllable that every kid and granny could do.

Other than that, he had such great pipes he didn't really require much in terms of catch-phrases.

Absolutely!

 

If he had a signature phrase, it was when an errant puck went over the glass and it was always, "And there's a souvenir for a lucky fan from the Sloan Kiwanis Club!", or some other civic group.

 

That said, my vote goes to Bert (or doesn't go to Bert for the poll purposes). And while my nostalgic bias may be playing a role in that decision and Hasek may have been a better player at his position, Perreault hoisted this franchise on his shoulders from its inception and kept it there. And to this very day, there has NEVER been another player that induces that butterfly in the gut feeling EVERY TIME they wind up with the puck behind their own net to start a rush.

 

When I think of what it may have been like if we lost that spin of the wheel, I shudder. It literally would have been a COMPLETELY different franchise. And not for the better, I think.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Let's go Dom! Throw your stick out of the crease, flop down on your stomach, then flop over with your pads in the air. You got this. Down with the frenchie!

[pastajoe]

How can anyone vote for someone who wanted to be traded over the original and career Sabre? Sacrilege.

[ubkev]

Because he's the greatest player ever to play his position. And he didn't retire when I was cutting teeth. Who claims someone as a favorite player when they've never seen them play? I certainly can't. That's like saying Reggie Jackson is my favorite baseball player.

This is how I originally felt about Dom. Over time, though, after thinking about the people or person(s) that he was dealing with at the time, I've grown to dislike them way more. As much as I hate to admit it, he and Peca had no choice.

 

I'm going to wait until the bitter end to vote on this one. And I may not vote.

[darksabre]

Dom and RJ are why I'm a Sabres fan. It's that easy for me.

[Weave]

Youz sunsabitches are on crack. Bert IS the Buffalo Sabres.

No, that's Jeanneret to many of us. Then again Perreault retired when I was 6 years old.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I'm too young for the French connection.... Bye bye gil

[TrueBlueGED]

Not gonna lie, I'm shocked this is so tight right now given the voting in the previous rounds (has Gil even had a single vote before this?). Shocked, but happy. Dom-in-ator *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*.
