Happy Taro Tsujimoto Day to those who celebrate!
On this day in 1974, the Sabres revealed who they chose in the NHL draft, which had been held in secret a few days earlier. One of the 12 players selected was Taro Tsujimoto from the Tokyo Katanas, who GM Punch Imlach made up in a fit of boredom as the draft dragged on #Hockey365 pic.twitter.com/QOOC2FSE8E

A shame that the tweet in this post gets the story wrong. It was Paul Wieland who came up with Taro. RIP to the legend Paul.
