IMPORTANT - If you are ever looking for a player bio and it takes you to a dead hfboards page, try logging out and going to that page.

the ATD bios 2017 thread is acting up. Page 4 won't display if you are logged in, but will if you are logged out. I have no idea if any other threads are doing this, but it's worth knowing in case you ever experience this.

I am quite relieved this is just a silly glitch and not a loss of 19 of my bios that took an estimated 100 hours to compile!

Well, if Marc Savard was taken, then Mike Ribeiro, C can't be close behind. Very similar on the VsX prime, better longevity, even worse for intangibles, attitute problem, but if a center on this team goes down they absolutely need someone who can put up points in spot duty.

Nice find! Whoever has bios on that 4th page should re-post them in this year’s thread, so they’re more easily accessible.
 
Baltimore selects Sprague Cleghorn's blueline partner for years in Montreal, the tough-as-nails defenseman who was so respected that in 1924 Frank Patrick offered to trade Frank Boucher for him!

He was traded in 1926 to Boston to be re-united with Cleghorn; Boston, where Eddie Shore took a run at him in a preseason scrimmage and Shore ended up with a severed ear from the collision.

After the regular season that year, the Bruins received some penalty calls in a playoff game that angered coach Art Ross, so in the dressing room during intermission the coach put a bounty on the ref's head and the 34-year-old defenseman went out and did as asked and he did collect the money for it from the coach! The NHL banned the player for life for the obvious targeting but the other Bruins were upset because the coach had ordered it, and eventually that info got out and the NHL overturned its decision to ban him, but this was a couple of years later and the old dman had another career and didn't return.

One should think about these things when- or wherever one uploads research to external sites, if you're scared of losing things. If one wants to go full cynical, which I (and probably other people too) tend do sometimes, then everything gets lost in the end anyways, but it's a good thing to think about saving your stuff on your own computer or on your own storage. I also think if one's really in love with ones own research, then printing it on paper or publishing it in physical form is probably a good idea, because I don't think you can trust digital storage 100% anyways, in whatever form it occurs. A digital societal collapse is probably not an impossible prospect. Printing's not forever either obviously, but I know you like physical books and I do too.

I've done tons of research myself and sometimes you just get very caught up in the whole thing, and the scope of it kinda gets out of control a bit. Suddenly you have tons of stuff everywhere.

Billy Coutu?
Click to expand...
Yeah.

In 1919 he was in the Stanley Cup series that was cancelled, he hospitalized sick with the virus during the pandemic. He won the Stanley Cup in 1924, he and Cleghorn a feared tandem taking the Habs to the playoffs multiple times.

Coutu was captain of the Canadiens for a year after Cleghorn was traded to Boston. Then they were re-united in Boston, where the two famous Coutu incidents happened.

Saskatoon will take the man who put Mario Lemieux in the hospital, giving away 6 inches and about 25 lbs, with some big fists in 1987. Two time Selke finalist. Was a strong PK'er. Looks like he also played some C but trying to see how much. Smart player, which I like in spares and if we need a defensive upgrade in the bottom 6, he'll more than fit the bill.

Snipers select:

Bobby Gould, RW

LEMIEUX BEATEN TO THE PUNCH

https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...e-punch/887cd156-b98e-4241-98eb-aa81f944cb7d/

That's what happened to Washington center Bob Gould after he had kept Pittsburgh's Mario Lemieux without a shot and with hardly a chance to touch the puck for 21 minutes Friday night. "The first thing that came to mind when he said, 'Let's go,' was that I could get him off the ice for five minutes," Gould said. "I never thought about hurting him."


He did, however. Gould beat Lemieux to the punch and landed a solid right uppercut that turned Lemieux' legs into jelly. A couple of more punches and Lemieux was being helped off the ice, to spend the night at George Washington University Hospital.

"I imagine it will surprise a lot of people," Gould said. "I know it surprised me. I've never hit anyone any harder. I couldn't believe he was dropping his gloves and telling me he wanted to fight.


"I figure if I'm in the penalty box, I'm not killing penalties or taking a regular shift. If you're sitting there, you can't play. For him, that's got to be even more ingrained.


"But guys like Lemieux and {Wayne} Gretzky must get pretty frustrated. They're always being checked and guys are slashing them and pushing them from behind. They probably get sick and tired of that.


"It's a defensive player's job to get them off their game, though, and they have to live with it. If they get in a fight and they're out of the game, it really hurts their team. And to get hurt in a fight, that's worse."

Underrated player. Very dangerous at all times in the ozone.

Stood next to him and Chelly once at a nightclub while they collected phone numbers. I got a few, but decided to slip them in Chelly's hankerchief pocket as I couldn't pull it off for long.
