Sabres Trivia and Puzzles

[Stads]

Tim, Dean and John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eichelhower, Ulysses S. Grant Ledyard, Andrew (the Bigger) Johnson, Lyndon B. (The Biggest) Johnson, John Tyler Ennis, John Tyler Myers, and John (Martin) Van Burensmeer.

 

Also, you could add Nixon Ward

That all looks right to me.

[That Aud Smell]

Excellent work here.

You made my day so far, dudes.

 

But you forgot Rob Raygun.

Nine all-time Sabres have the same last name as an American president. Name them. :devil:

 

Ok, taking a serious stab at this:  Johnson & Kennedy are all that I can come up with.

 

Hamilton wasn't a president, and Al Smith lost his election to Hoover, so that's all I've got.

[Cereal]

Dane Jackson, and of course Calvin O'Reilly Coolidge

OK, make that eight all-time Sabres. My bad on Hamilton.

 

You are missing a pretty easy one from the 1900s.

All I got is Zachary Taylor and Chris Taylor

[That Aud Smell]

The only one I thought to offer was Rutherford 'Bert Hayes.

Gotta be Woodrow "I once broke both my shoulders in an awkward tumble" Wilson.

Wilson from the 1910s.  I don't think there were any McKinleys, Tafts, or Roosevelts on the Sabres but I could be wrong--but thanks for steering me in the right direction.

There has to be a Jackson.

Cereal got one of them. Dane. The other one played two games. No one is getting that without cheating.

 

1900s... uh...

[Eleven]

Ok, so far we've got

 

Kennedy

Kennedy

Johnson

Taylor

Wilson

Jackson the Dane

Jackson the Obscure (he played 5 games, not 2)

 

So there's one more.  And I know who it is.  Because I cheated.  And no one is going to get it.  But I will give a hint:  Never, in the history of our proud nation, has there been a President Grigorenko.

[Cereal]

Martin Van Biron??

[pastajoe]

Chester Clark Mc-Arthur

Ulysses Grant Ledyard

Luke Quincy Adams

Ok, gonna bring this one to an end.  It's Paul Harrison, whose Sabres career was only a tiny bit shorter than William Henry Harrison's presidency.

Isn't Schaller 59?

[Eleven]

Isn't Schaller 59?

 

Good call.

[Winston]

You guys filled most of that in fast!

 

But 60 --> 28 wasn't Zemgus

Hmm...does his nickname sound like the second half of Zemgus?

Now you're onto something!

 

Don't think anyone will get 64 without looking it up. So here's his initials and the season:

 

D.M. 1999-2000 season (played the one game in 2000)

I remember seeing that name while researching other questions. It's so tempting to just go look it up.
