Tribute Chia’s Son Retires

[OfCorsiDid]

After 651 NHL games and one cup, Alex Chaisson has retired.



He may not be the most memorable Oiler but he definitely gave us one of the funniest moments of the lost McDrai years:



Thanks Alex! All the best in the future!

22 goals in 18-19 in 73 games, nice career made some cash, all the best to him. CHIA'S SON!

One last time, with enthusiasm.

CHIA’S SON!!

Hard working no nonsense kind of guy. Best of wishes to an awesome retirement for him and his family.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Lol sorry all I remember him for is that shoot out attempt and Del Preston’s hilarious gif of it.

 

[TheNumber4]

He was a good soldier. He came in, tried the best he could, provided some depth. Could get feisty in scrums too and had a bit of an edge. Also, gave some of the most thoughtful interviews you can expect in the NHL. Congrats on a good career.

 

[BudBundy]

Good guy, it seemed. Honest player. Carved out a solid career. Good for him, good luck, and best wishes.

Often a lightning bolt for criticism online, but that was always moreso about management not doing enough elsewhere forcing him to play too often up the lineup. Seemed like a good teammate and a thoughtful interview.

Hope he finds his way into sports media somewhere down the line.

Here’s to all the best for one of the good ones !

 

[Oilhawks]

Seemed like a good dude and a solid bottom 6 guy (at least offensively, don't recall his defensive game) that caught some lightning on a depleted Oilers lineup.

All the best in retirement, congrats on the Cup!

 

[Fishy McScales]

For some reason I'd forgotten all about that penalty shot haha.

The memory that stuck out to me was when he scored on a wrister from the blue line against the Caps (his old team) and ribbed them in good spirits on the bench afterwards.

I will have a whiskey in his honor

Legend has it that puck has yet to land. Chiasson shot at a perfect angle that it forever revolves around the Earth.

A toast to pure average-ness!

Salut

Guy scores like 40 goals over a 3 year span here and gets a thread for retirement. LMAO

He should have bought McDavid a car after that year.

Sorry didn’t know you were the retirement thread police. I’ll submit a permit next time.

Wasn’t meant as a personal attack, apologies. Just found it funny.

Retires from playing at 34 years old with over $10M in career earnings and a SC ring. Nice work.
