Don't focus on the name sounding like a girl's name.

I don't think it was Guevremont.  I was thinking it might have been Rene Robert.

Is that Rene or Jocelyn?

I think you covered the whole defense corp except for the guy that played all 97 games that year.

Jocelyn was the 1st guess he had (French Canadian D-man with a name that sounds like a chick's).  Pretty sure Robert never played D.

He did occasionally play point on the power play so that was kind of a defenseman.

Not really.  Even in the 70's teams occassionally played 4F's on the PP.  (Nothing like today where there are maybe 3 teams with a base 2D top PP unit.)  Nobody is claiming Pominville was, nor that Cozens or Mittelstadt is, a D-man.

I wasn't paying that much attention to detail.  Didn't notice that we're dealing with a defenseman.

Bill Hajt would make sense.  Unlike Schoeny, he did not break an ankle when he blocked shots.

Ahh good old Jocelyn Hecht

Should of been clear that I was kidding.

Sorry.  Am running on serious fumes lately.  One of the 1st casualties of that is the sarcasm meter.  Am almost positive am taking next week off from work.  Need a recharge something fierce.

Funny, because I was just saying today that I need a week away from everything. Hopefully you have better success then I expect I’ll have.

OK.  Tom, it's time for the answer.  And both of you (Taro being the other), let's get some questions that people might actually be able to answer.  It doesn't have to be "who was the Sabres' first ever draft pick," but it doesn't have to be so obscure that we need to send a probe to Mars, either, yeah?

Larry Carriere.

And for the record

Korab played 79

Hajt 76

Schoeny 68

[Taro T]

Who holds the NHL record for longest time between scoring goals for the same team?

[Eleven]

What former Sabres goalie leads all (current and former) Sabres goalies in penalty minutes *as a Sabre*?

 

(This is something that is not well known, but is guessable if you think on it.  Or maybe you just know it.)

Thanks man.

Gotta be Hajt.

I would go with Tom Barasso for penalty minutes and maybe Dave Andrejchuk (sic?)for time between goals.

Andreychuk is not the right answer, but you're on the right track.

If no one else has a question, how about this.

Only three players played all 80 games during the 74/75 run to the Cup and only two of them played all 17 playoff games. I think two are pretty easy and the third is not crazy, but it’s a slow Sunday night.

Rammer was a stalwart IRON MAN, he is my first guess.   Then I'll guess Hajt,  and then Luce.  

All great hockey players.
