There are SO MANY gags the sabres pulled in the NHL back in the 70's... Some of their press releases turned heads.. and invariably nobody took time with all but this one to look at the calendar.. April 1.. like when they announced they were moving to a Nylon playing surface.. as it didn't need refrigeration would save money..among other things.. some of the gags were hilarious..
Only four years since the Sabres existence, they picked a fake pick as a joke. Instead, they could have picked Stefan Persson, who was chosen by the Islanders i the 14th round. Persson went on to play nine seasons and win four Stanley Cups. People laugh at the Tsujimoto pick. I laugh at the Sabres for their continuing foolishness, including picking Ric Seiling over Mike Bossy a few years later.
@@perrinayebarraI am lots of fun. What's funny about this "inside joke"? It doesn't even make any sense. It's just stupid. If people are going to be funny, then they should be good at it. I loathe second rate attempts at humor.
Honestly you gotta respect the dedication to the bit
Sabres Legend. No one could score against his team while he was on the ice
TSN... I'm right here...
Send the contract Buffalo!!
REAL
Tsujimoto has played as many career playoff games as Jeff Skinner & Rasmus Dahlin.
Combined.

They ought to retire his number!
wow. That's a fun story among the "too businessy" NHL these days.
Punch did good. Taro Tsujimoto's contract was very reasonable.
0:12 EAST AURORA MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
TINGUS PINGUS???
I actually worked for the guy in the photo on that card such a great guy!
At least it gives Buffalo something to smile about
This is what makes hockey wonderful - it doesn't have to make sense for fans to embrace it - all that matters is that they do
Thank you 👏🇨🇦
Legendary
Didn’t the St. Louis Blues draft absolutely nobody during an NHL Draft??
The league the should re-instate the pick.
Again with this story? Lol

Every year, TSN runs this same story, such a 2nd rate network these days nothing original.
Crying?
This "inside joke" is juvenile and stupid. The Sabres only hurt themselves and insulted the draft-eligible players by drafting a non-existent player.
Lighten up buttercup, laugh once in a while
Cause drafting guys who exist has done so much for the sabres lmfao.
It was the 11th Round!
What a wet blanket. You must be fun to hang out with.
