Dude! What are you doing in that uniform? Part III

[iamjs]

Craig Ludwig, New York Islanders (1991-92; 75GP - 1G - 8A - 9 P - 77PIM - [-24])

(He still had another 8 seasons of add-ons to those shin guards.)

Love the rich blue of this Islander jerseys

Where exactly does Ludwig fit though? Habs? North Stars/Stars? I guess it depends on when you started watching hockey...

Robert Gordon Orr

Yeah thats cool, a few years after he retired, Oldtimers Game, the North Stars short a few players so he obliged.... another much earlier shot of Orr wearing the blue & white of the Toronto Marlboros floating around, interesting story behind that one.... cant seem to find it at the moment so if anyone has it, feel free to put it up....

 

[Albatros]

So wrong.

I'll always think of Don Awrey as a Bruin, but the last 3 years of his career were spent with the Penguins, Rangers and Colorado Rockies!

And he did play for Montreal

He didn't qualify to get his name on the Cup that year I believe

 

[yukoner88]

Charlie Simmer with Pittsburgh (his last NHL season)

Looks like the hockey version of Jeff Foxworthy

 

[Puck Dogg]

Many faces of Jagr. Many of them I didn't get accustomed to.

I'll always think of Don Awrey as a Bruin, but the last 3 years of his career were spent with the Penguins, Rangers and Colorado Rockies!

And before that, in reverse order, 128 regular season games + 11 post-season games with Montréal (!) and 95 with St. Louis.

Chartraw and Nyrop were chosen for the playoffs.

Larry Hillman won a Cup with the Canadiens, playing 25 games in the regular season and one in the playoffs...

Tim Hunter as a Nordique (which only lasted 48 games before he was off to Vancouver) always looked a little off, in large part because he choose, for reasons unknown, to wear #65. It was also a double slap in the face that the Flames, a team he had worn a letter for and been a leader on, left him unprotected in the Expansion Draft. After he was selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning, they, in turn, also didn't have any use for him so they traded him to the Quebec Nordiques (not a desirable landing spot at the time) for Future Considerations. After nearly 50 games in La Belle Province, Hunter was placed on waivers where the Canucks picked him and he once again settled into a leadership role with his new club and made his way back to the Stanley Cup Finals (his third) in 1994.

After seeming to be absolutely done during short stint with New Jersey and LA that season, he joined his third team of the year when he went to Dallas, and suddenly turned it on and put up 15 points 20 games.

We could have a whole thread about well-known players who went to the Rangers late in their careers, starting to get washed-up, and then retired or almost retired after the NYR stint... "What are you doing in that NYR uniform?":

Kevin Lowe:

Markus Naslund:

Marcel Dionne:

Glenn Anderson:

Pierre Larouche:

Keven Stevens:

Pat Lafontaine:

Bernie Geoffrion:

Tim Kerr:

Kirk McLean:

Steve Larmer:

Pat Flatley:

And finally, the weirdest of them all: "What are you doing behind that NYR bench?":
