Bill Houlder: best Sabre 47 ever?

Tell me a story. When did he play, what position did he play, what made him different?

[dudacek]

He wasn't Zach Bogosian.

It's the work of someone who doesn't like Bogo.

 

Houlder was the Cody McCormick of defensemen.

[Randall Flagg]

Dean Sylvester also wore number 46, but I couldn't find a picture of him.

 

Today is 45, with Donald Audette in 1990 (Couldn't find a picture of him in this jersey) 

and Scott Nichol: 

And Dmitri Kalinin: 

[That Aud Smell]

Today is 44, yeah?

 

Several options here (apologies for not being able to find Korab in that 44 he once wore):

 

Zhitnik!

 

 

 

 

I tried to use a picture of Zhitnik taking a decapitating slap shot, but the file type would not work here.

 

Also: Sekera (does NOT sound like Shakira):
 

 

Finally, Nic Deslauriers

 

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks for the help, Smell! Jerry Korab also wore #44 for one season. The remaining Sabres to wear the number are 
Brad Miller:

Doug MacDonald:

and Brayden McNabb, in 2014.

[Eleven]

THE Doug MacDonald?

[That Aud Smell]

Thanks Randall.

 

Does everyone who wore the # need to be included?

 

I picked and chose a bit with 44.

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks Randall.

Definitely not, I just like doing it if I can. Once the numbers start having 10+ Sabres, I'm going to have to pick and choose.

[That Aud Smell]

Sabres Instagram says today is 44 days out (with a picture of D Lo).

 

Whither Jason Dawe?

[Randall Flagg]

They might not be doing the double zero?

[darksabre]

They might not be doing the double zero?

I bet you're right.

 

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that whoever the Sabres put in charge of this wouldn't be clever enough to include 00.

[Sabel79]

I'm fairly certain Biron was the last ever player allowed to wear either 0 or 00. And that was 22 years ago. The social media team likely wasn't born yet...

There's one person that runs all Sabres social media accounts. Alone.

Just in case others weren't aware. It's an... interesting set up.

It's you, isn't it?!?

Not that I don't believe you, but I find that hard to believe. They don't even get slave college intern labor? Wacky.

[Hoss]

My name is STEVE JOHNSON!

 

 

 

But, actually, it's this guy: https://twitter.com/ckanal

I'd be shocked if any professional sports team lets an intern consistently post to any of their platforms.

[WildCard]

The Steve Johnson thing gets me every time :lol:

 

 

And that dude got engaged on the Sabres crest in the middle of the locker room. I'm beyond jealous

I'm with you on that specific point, but dank memes don't find themselves. Or am I thinking too hard about this? Clearly I am, since the Sabres seem to be aggressively indifferent.

He works for the team, so it'd be like getting engaged in your cubicle (but obviously a million times cooler). Low effort.

You have no idea. It's suuuuuuuch a drag.

[Sabel79]

While in no way surprising (I have seen the social media output for the team), that's a bummer. Somebody should convince someone to have some fun with it, ,

That and/or add an assistant position.

[Randall Flagg]

, I forgot to hit 43 today. I'll get it tomorrow at some point with 42, it's tough to remember to do this while at school
