I don't like Quincey but he was an NHL vet who played hard at time for the Avs and suffered from injuries.I didn't like how either Ryan Stoa or Kyle Quincey took shots at our culture just after they left us. Left a very bitter taste in my mouth. How is that? And I STILL remember their salt this many years later. Playing for our burgundy and blue is like basically winning Powerball. If I'm any player talking to my agent, my first comment would be - negotiate with AVS, and if all else fails with them, I guess try some other scrub team haha

But Ryan Stoa? He got some callups at the NHL and was found lacking. Then in washington he managed all of 2 games before going to the KHL. That guy should not have been talking down any NHL organization.
Chucky has that rep... to be fair though, that rep could really be applied to most any NHL player. Chucky just ran into Montreal media and underperforming, so his is blown out of proportion a bit. He does love a good 8 ball though (again like most NHL players)
Are you saying most of the nhlers are using a lot of alcohol/drugs?

On the plus side, there would be less injuries with the extra abdominal padding.If they were straight edge we’d all

Yah I dont blame Quincey for those comments. Have to look at the culture around the team when he said this. Joe Sacco once tried to convince us that Tyson Barrie was 7th or 8th on the depth chart or something like that. I remember going crazy when he said that since Barrie was even back then an obvious NHL talent. Sacco was so bad at his job. Remember EJ gave him a shot about getting grilled for carrying the puck instead of dumping it.

"Galchenyuk goes gallivanting into the offensive zone at a gallop, and, gosh, Ryker, can you believe no one wanted this guy?"
"Yeah, Mose, it's crazy. People thought he was a raisin, but he's a chocolate chip in this cookie."
"Mountain Time, the cool, crisp premium lager..."

Yuk.
Still a small sample size but this guy doesn’t look like an NHL player anymore.
Certainly can’t begrudge the Avs for trying since they’re all dropping like flies but I believe this little experiment will end in failure.
Bring on Griffin Reinhart!

Like I said in a different thread, this guy is a classic case of too good for the AHL but not good/fast enough for the NHL. He clearly has some NHL tools like his shot and hands, but the guy is going to either spend the rest of his career in the AHL/seeking PTOs or head to Europe to collect the paycheque and play care-free hockey.
Yep I'm done. Get the f*** out.
