How are they doing now? (Former Sabres Players) Top 100 pics/stories

[cybresabre]

Sorta shitty quote from Floyd Smith in that piece. Jesus. If this happened three decades later it would have been national news. Poor guy.

''Larry was not really a gifted player,'' said Floyd Smith, Mickey's coach with the Buffalo Sabres in 1974-75, his last N.H.L. season. ''He was a hard-nosed, hard-working hockey player. He had a tremendous amount of desire, and that overcame a lot of his deficiencies.''

It didn't seem too bad, heck, it's a ray of sunshine compared to the the sucker punch from the dude's wife.

Lynda Mickey, recalling the day her husband was found dead in the car parked in their garage, says: ''He just went out there as a failure, as a weak person, which is what he became.''

He’s listed at 5’11”- always seemed shorter than that to me. Miss that dude, wonder when/if we ever see a sub 6 foot goalie again.

In general or in Buffalo? Jusse Saros is listed at 5'11" as well.

Local man confused that knowing all the stats for the 1997 Buffalo Sabres hasn’t opened more doors

ST. CATHARINES, ON - Local man Devon Rettinger recently expressed bewilderment that his thorough knowledge of the statistics of the Buffalo Sabres in their 1996-1997 season hasn’t led to more recognition, or at least job opportunities.

“Every year he gives his little speech, and it’s Brian Holzinger this, and Richard Smehlik that,” said Parent Council president Carla Person, who knows all of the water Pokémon in Johto region. “I don’t even like being Council President, it sucks, but I’ll be damned if I let Devon Rettinger get it with his Miroslav Satan facts.”

…

When asked for comment, former Sabres defenseman Rumun Ndur (2 Games, 0 points, 2 Penalty Minutes, Plus 1) said that it was nice just to be remembered.

Combining the two themes, some entrepreneur somewhere is missing out on cashing in on Sabres Pokemon and the obvious evolution of Rumun Ndur to Bob Boughner to Matthew Barnaby to Rob Ray, all "Fighter Types".

Sad news. Condolences to his friends and family. Hillman also spent some time as a Bison and as an Amerk.
