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

That was really good.

Moller: Lindy was the best seamstress I’ve ever seen in my life.

That was really good.

Michael Gilbert, Sabres communications director: Here’s a moment people still talk about now: During the 2004-05 lockout, he played in my senior beer league. Our teams were playing, and he thought he was coming after me but crushed an older guy on our team. So my brother went after him, and Lindy went back at him, calling each other assholes. That’s all he knew, playing hard.

I believe that's Denis Gilbert's dad in that story.

Not exactly a Sabre - an ex-Amerk though:

I hope that means his concussion issues are in his past.

Look who got a one way contract.

Pens need cheap depth. No one is going to pick him up on waivers either as he's kind of a bum at the AHL level.

I see Vanek's son (named for his bro-mance Wheeler) was drafted in the USHL draft:

Rasmus Asplund 2.0, err Marcus Davidsson moving to Assat from Tappara in the Finn Liiga with his brother Jonathon. Know best as the pick they made two players before Jason Robertson or another way as the first player selected in 2017 who has never played an NHL game.

Everytime this thread is bumped and it's not a story of a docile village in the czech republic being destroyed by Vaclav Varada's hulk-esque rage is a disappointment.

Markus Ketterer is the new goalie coach for Davos. He’s the record holder for the most games dressed and never playing a game (36 games). He was with the Sabres back in the early 90s back when I became a fan.

Phase I complete; results, picks to remember and other takeaways from Day 1 of the 2023 USHL Draft

From the first-round to the late-round picks, Phase I featured a ton of talent and several intriguing future USHL players

Blake Vanek, Chicago, R3, 44th overall

The genes are there as Blake’s father, Thomas, enjoyed a successful NHL career and racked up 373 NHL goals. However, Blake has shown the ability to make plays with the puck on his stick too.

Vanek had 20 points in 25 games this season at Stillwater (Minn.) High School and gives the Steel a future piece with a lot of offensive potential.

I wonder if he uses his dad's curve?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

A member of the Steel and a former Sabre? Yea, we’re picking him in his draft year

Can't believe that was 17 years ago. I was at this game. I remember somehow it still wasn't sold out the day before, so my buddy and I got tickets in the 2nd last row of the 300's in the endzone. We had a perfect view of this goal. My god, the arena was rocking after they scored. Those were some fun times.

Also in the "wow, where has the time gone?" category -



That's Uwe's son who was born in Buffalo... and is now 31.

 

[MOGlLNY]

My dad brought me to this game when I was probably 10-11 or so. Memory I’ll hold in my heart forever.

After they scored 2 grown men had tears in their eyes and hugging next to my dad and I. I obviously understood how big the goal was at the time cause I was a hockey nerd, but I thought their reaction was over the top with the tears.

Then we chanted Sabres on the warpath as a crowd all the way out of the building.

After this drought, I could imagine my buddies and I having this reaction just for getting IN the playoffs. It’s been a rough go.

If I walked by him in a store I would guess Ehrhoff was an accountant and not a former NHLer lol
