DarthEbriate Posted July 6, 2023 Report Posted July 6, 2023 Someone took the Immaculate Grid concept from MLB and built an NHL version called puckdoku. puckdoku.com My Sabres line for today's game was Heinze-Satan-Myers. Everybody picked Myers. Quote

Goyette never reached 1000 games (940) and Marshall had his 1000th with the Rags before he came to Buffalo. 3 to go. You are missing a HoF center and two guys who played their last games in Buffalo, one of these two spent years coaching for the Sabres organization. I’d dare says he’s better remembered here as a coach vs as a player. Edited July 6, 2023 by GASabresIUFAN Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted July 6, 2023 Report Posted July 6, 2023 Just now, Marvin said: Lindy Ruff? Dale Hawerchuk? Ruff no. Only 691 games. Finally, Hawerchuk! No. 9, No. 9, No. 9 etc…. 2 to go! I am surprised by how quickly someone mentioned Marshall. If y’all remember Marshall, this 1000 gamer should come to mind and it’s the not former coach. Quote
Marvin Posted July 6, 2023 Report Posted July 6, 2023 I think Tim Horton and Larry Hillman made 1000 long before they came to Buffalo. Quote

Remember he was an original 6 guy. In 8 years in Tor he only played 264 games. In 4 if those seasons he played 12 games or less. Still two to go. One should be easy.

Eleven Posted July 6, 2023 Author Report Posted July 6, 2023 I know we have Ramsey but do we have Ramsay yet? It's getting to be too long to look back several pages. Quote

Yeah I looked 'em up AFTER I guessed...interesting thing, and here's some trivia...both Rammers ended up playing the exact same number of NHLregular season games at 1070. That's some John Adams / Thomas Jefferson level stuff right there. Edited July 6, 2023 by Eleven Quote

tom webster Posted July 7, 2023 Report Posted July 7, 2023 I have no idea why this name popped in my head and I’m not sure he played enough, but how about Don Lever? Quote

Congrats. He is No. 10 and yes Grier was mentioned earlier. He was the Sabres Asst coach and Rochester head coach who finished his career in Buffalo and played with Mike Foligno and Mike Ramsey. His teammate is the last player on the list. I'm going to give the answer because I doubt anyone will ever guess. He finished his career with the Sabres the same two seasons as Don Lever. He only managed to play 18 games over those two seasons, but that was enough to get him over the 1000 game threshold. His name is Phil Russell. Next! Edited July 7, 2023 by GASabresIUFAN Quote

This is why questions of that caliber--I am not picking on GA here, because there have been more than a few of them--are not fun. It's supposed to be a trivia thread and not an "identify the obscure" thread, but it's a runaway so it is what it is. Edited July 7, 2023 by Eleven Quote

The only truly obscure answer here was Russell, but the rest people got pretty easily and personally I love a tour of Sabres history. Also a trivia question should have some challenge to it otherwise it’s just common knowledge. How about you give it a try. Edited July 7, 2023 by GASabresIUFAN Quote

Also a trivia question should have some challenge to it otherwise it’s just common knowledge. How about you give it a try. How about I give it a try? I started this thread! I've got a few questions in here. The Sabres picked Gilbert Perreault first overall in 1970 and had the first pick in each round. Two questions, one on the easier side (with bonus answers) and one a little harder: 1. Whom did the Sabres select in the second round (first pick in that round)? Can you name any other Sabres picks? 2. The draft format at the time allowed teams to keep picking, round after round after round, until a team decided not to pick any more players. Which team kept picking for 13 rounds? EDIT: I'm adding a third question--harder than the first two--because the wiki article that I checked to make sure I knew my stuff has a great fact: 3. Who was the last active player from that 1970 draft? (I have a hint that makes this pretty easy for Sabres fans but I will withhold it until noon tomorrow.) Edited July 7, 2023 by Eleven Quote
