I held off on buying a Sabres jersey for like the first 40+ years of my life. When we drafted Jack Eichel in 2015, I bought an Eichel #15 jersey shortly after. Figured it was a good choice as he would probably be with the team for 15+ years. A few weeks after I bought it, the fucker changed his number to #9. :twitch: Then last year he demanded a trade, and now he’s fairly despised around here. X(

So what the hell do I do with the jersey? It cost over $200 new, and though it’s barely worn, I doubt I could get $30 for it now. :disshame: I won’t wear it again, and I’ve since bought a Rasmus Dahlin jersey that I like better. I might look into having the nameplate and number changed to a player I like better, but I might not even bother, as the color scheme is different now (we changed from navy to royal blue) and very few current Sabres ever wore the navy blue jersey.

I imagine my Eichel jersey will eventually wind up being worn by some kid in a third world African country, like what happened to millions of prematurely-printed early 90s Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Champion shirts. If I ever buy another jersey, it will probably be of a classic Sabre, like Mogilny or Hawerchuk or something.

Man, that guy was one of the twitchiest athletes I ever saw. His body was never at rest. Even in interviews, he was very staccato and, like, vibrating. No surprise when it turned out he had a coke problem. But Christ he was a fantastic goalie.

He never had the best GAA or Save%, but he was great at being better than the other team’s goalie on any given night. Just a winner. Fuhr only played a couple seasons in Buffalo, but he’s one of my all-time favorite Sabres for sure.

When I see a non-hockey player wearing a hockey jersey, I immediately think of Kevin Smith. Things go south from there.
Even worse, he's wearing gloves for no reason. Those things get smelly really fast.
Bodies pulled out of a swamp aren't as devastating to the nose as a hockey bag.
In the late 90s, I bought a used car. I got a great deal on it and quickly found out why. It had this stench that, for the life of me, I could not get out. And I couldn't figure out what it was. Not until VH, Jr. started playing hockey did I figure it out!

Hello,

The case could be made for each - plus both in the same bag leads to double the issue. With football/soccer goalkeepers, it's the gloves. Goalkeeper gloves can be and should be (for effectiveness) washed - hockey gloves can't be.

I wear weightlifting gloves when I row and am amazed at the kind of stench that can build up. Why I should think hand sweat is less offensive than coming from anywhere else, I have no idea—well, yes, I do; I'm kinda dumb about lots of things—but it always seems strange that the gloves should amass such toxicity after awhile.

I remember playing floor hockey in gym class in high school, and the worst smelling pieces of gym equipment were always the goalie helmets. They were the old face-fitted mask kind that covered all but the very back of your head - basically a grey plastic bucket with eye holes and 3 or 4 thin strips of foam for padding. They had the smell of a 3-day-old road-killed skunk in the sun. I liked playing goalie, but there was nothing worse than putting one of those helmets on your head after hundreds of kids had sweated in them for 20+ years. After use, they were never cleaned or even allowed to dry a little, but just went straight into a grey canvas bag which got nice and musty. I think my face is breaking out into a rash just thinking about those things.
