Favourite all-time Sabre: playoffs

[darksabre]

It pains me to do it but I had to put a vote against RJ. This poll is about players and he absolutely transcends the players. He's my favorite all time media personality. But without players names to call he doesn't have a job.

No more May? :cry:

 

Rayzor, I love ya. But you can't hang with this crowd.

Wait... wait... He is the Buffalo Sabres. He gives them life, yet he is not a Sabre. He is not a mere mortal. OMG, RJ is G. Wrong thread?

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Sorry, RJ, but as the last remaining non-player you are out (for me, anyway).

 

Also out ... Jay Mc and Rayzor. Love Rob, but we are getting to the nuts and bolts of this thing.

I mean, I didn't say it. But I'm not disagreeing....

RJ and Rob Ray leading in votes is a damn travesty. I'm ready to delete my vote and vote for everyone but them out of protest. Since I'm a white guy this board won't send a cop in to choke me to death for breaking the rules, right?

It's been easy to choose for me up to, and including, now. I'm still voting off people that I just didn't get to see play. Not having a TV from the late 80s to the late 90s means that the last three from that era get voted off.

I haven't been following the politics thread, so I'm not sure where Freeman stands on this.

 

Have to say I'm surprised by the Jeanneret vote.

Drunkard is breaking the rules! I'm calling the mods

Two sluggers and a headhunter for me, this time.

I only caught the tail end of his career, but how does Playfair have fewer votes than Ray?

For starters he was a much better fighter.

And could play a regular shift.

 

Playfair was the bonafide heavyweight champ for a bit. Ray never held that status.

I love watching how this changes.

Andreychuk and Playfair instantly go from barely any vote to likely eliminations.

They were never going to make it to the end, but they were clearly better than the first eliminations. Picking only three makes it so my 4th and 5th place finishers get no votes until they are 1 and 2.

 

It is funny though.

[dudacek]

Out: Andreychuk, Ray, Playfair.

Down to the Sweet 16

 

Maximum three votes please.

[Samson's Flow]

The choices are getting tougher and tougher. I voted my votes just because they were too early for my generation and aren't part of as many highlight videos that I have seen. I fear my favorites (the Peca/Hasek/Pat LaLa) won't make it too much further.

[LastPommerFan]

Do we know if there are any entrants who have received 0 votes so far?

ubkev - Gil Perreault vote? really? Is this some sort of bizarro strategy?

Never saw him play. I have zero emotional interest in the French Connection. He was voted for a couple time in the last round too. And not by me.

same here Ubkev. i have very little emotional entanglement with the 70s players. Gilbert stayed off my vote so far only becuse he was the face of the franchise for nearly 2 decades.

[dudacek]

Out: Drury, McKee, Foligno, Ramsay.

Twelve guys left and this thing is getting very close.

Looks like Hawerchuck has had his run.

 

Dale, we hardly knew ye.

[Andrew Amerk]

Neck, neck, and neck for Mogilny, Peca, and RJ

[IKnowPhysics]

The experience of being a Sabres fan wouldn't be the same without RJ. He's been with the team since '71. He's traveled with the team just about that entire time. I recognize athletic ability, but Rick's a Hall of Famer with god-given talent and a franchise-defining career for a very good reason.

 

To me, he's a Sabre. And to me, I favor him at least as much as anyone with their name in the rafters. When I think about watching or listening to a Sabres game, I can't not think about RJ's voice, and that's something I can't say about any other anything.
