Pick a past & present Sabre

[Dozerdog]

Find a guy off of this year's roster and compare him to someone in the past-


Jason Pominville = he reminds me of a young Danny Gare


When he netted that OT goal vs the Sens in last year's playoffs it reminded me of Gare's OT goal that knocked out the mighty Montreal Canadians in 1975

Danny Briere=Stu Barnes

But as we know Briere is a much better player but they skate the same..

[Philagape]

Ryan Miller ----> early Tom Barrasso

[SABURZFAN]

ryan miller-marty biron duo reminds me of the don edwards-bob suave tandem.we have two solid goaltenders that we can rely on any given night. :up:

[Earthquake Enyart]

This is harder than it looks.

We have really never had defensemen like this before. Campbell is a poor man's Phil Housley?

None of these guys really compare to players of the French connection era.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

Andrew Peters - Zamboni?

[SabreEleven]

Chris Drury = Don Luce

Kills penalties and scores timely goals.

Pomminville reminds me of Audette.

[Philagape]

Pomminville reminds me of Audette.

I'm thinking Mike Foligno

[don137]

Spacek= Zhitnik...his shots go 10 feet wide.

[mchurchfie]

Dmitri Kalinin reminds me of a Richard Smehlik with his demeanor and occasional boneheaded play.:shortbus:

[bigbub2352]

Danny Briere and Pat Lafontaine
Vanek and Satan
Campbell and Housley
Spacek and Zhitnik
Kahilinin and Smehlik
Biron and Puppa

Pominville reminds me of Craig Ramsay, smart defensive player, can score goals too. Maybe Don Luce would be a better comparision, but Luce was a center and I like the Luce - Drury comparison.

Vanek and Dave Andreychuk. Andreychuk had a lot of pressure put on him to be somewhat of a savior and score a ton of goals. He wasn't a great skater but got himself into position to score a lot, would stand in front of the net and had great hands around the net.

Afinogenov and Gilbert Perrault. I loved Gil, but he at times would be maddingly unselfish with the puck and not shoot enough when he had the chance. He could have scored SO many more goals. Obviously the stick handling too and it was near impossible to know Gil off the puck. Of course Gil was a MUCH better player.

Danny Brier and Pat LaFontaine. Both little guy fearless of going over the middle.
