It's always interesting to me to see which people get vilified and which are praised.
Especially if I am familiar with them, it can almost be like reading about someone I've never met.

Well during his 2nd tenure, Messier was a cancer to the team and horrible for the young players as he kept them down. Such a selfish and horrible person.

That's just disgusting and that cup looks way too heavy for him.
I'm surprised his team mates didn't help him carry it much in the way they carried his ass all the way to the
finals.
Of all people, I can't believe that doesn't piss you off.
F him..He was way out of shape and showed up like all the other fat cat UFA's of the past.
He did us dirty..
McD on the other hand?
Hard working player and class act.
I couldn't be more happy for him.
It's too bad G couldn't have been there..

"Lightest 35 pounds I've ever lifted" - Kevin Shattenkirk.
"Wait, Shatty's lifted before?" - Me.

he lift that pen to sign that contract and became a lazy bum. no reason to be out of shape if you are a pro hockey player.
Yeah, but is it worth it to cancel big parts/the whole season due to a few bumps? It’s the same in Sweden. Some teams have had problems putting a healthy team on the field. But it’s like any other injury bug. I saw interviews with a soccer team that had big problems, they said that basically all players that tested positive were so healthy that they would have played if it wasn’t Covid. Players are back after a week of no/very mild symptoms. Young healthy people don’t get very sick most of the time. There have been a few exceptions, but it’s not lethal.
Meh. Shattenkirk looked very good at the beginning of his first season, then he busted his knee and looked bad because of it until they finally shut him down January when it was beyond obvious it should've happened a lot sooner.
No ill will from me toward him.

Shattenkirk shows up out of shape as a Ranger and looks absolutely nothing like the #1D so many people assured us he was. Gets bought out and finds a sheltered role on a stacked team and wins a cup. What's with this weird undercurrent of "Told ya so" going on in this thread? Shattenkirk is exactly the player most of us thought we were getting and why so many of us wanted to avoid him in free agency.

He wasn't much of a beast after he signed that fat new contract

showing up out of shape is on him...but he was never a #1D. he is a good player when healthy but 1D was setting the bar too high, so thats on the fans more than him..
as for the 'told ya so' are you new here? lol half the time i wonder if people are secretly happen when players are bad so they can say they were right LOL

I have experienced both the Rangers winning the Cup and being right and being right is the better feeling.

You aren't suffering no meniscus tear if you show up in shape.
He was chasing the f***ing world for a puck and got beat out by rookies who were in better shape than him.
Stop making excuses!
then he should have not played until completely healthy, no matter how long that took. why hurt the team by playing hurt especially if you're out of shape where you can't train like he normally would. a NHL veteran should have known better especially since he knows his body.

I wonder how Zuccarello feels about not signing in Dallas now. he must love Minnesota and that extra year
That extra year is going to pay him 6 million dollars. That's more than most make in a lifetime. I don't blame him one bit for taking that extra year on what will probably be his last contract.

I see some people are bitching about Shattenkirk winning a Cup. Don't blame Gorton for handing out the contract and creating a cap situation that forced the buy out, or the coaching staff for not using him right. No, blame the player who had the audacity to sign a contract offering 26m over 4 years. How dare you, Kevin!

And he probably could have gotten 6 mil for 6 years on the open market instead of just 4 with the Rangers.
