Nick Ritchie started his Euro trip pretty great. Three games, zero points, -5, 29 PIM including a 5+20 Match Penalty in today's game after a reckless hit that lead to a fight (which he, btw, lost clearly). :lol:

Guy is probably the worst first round pick we ever took in the top-15. And yes, I remember Smirnov and Mitera.

i have no problem calling him the worst. smirnov went 12th overall in a weak draft and both mitera and logan macmillan went 19th, which isn't really "bust" territory

to this day, ritchie is still by far the most low IQ player i've ever watched

still blows my mind that they haven't retired 35 yet

i wonder if they wanted to space them out so pushed jiggy's back, but then 2019 also felt like the year things really started to take a turn for the worse and they didn't want to retire his number in a shitty year?

it is pretty baffling

can't think of any other reason why they would've given gibson #36 when he had always worn #35 if they didn't plan on retiring it

maybe they are waiting for the team to be good again. the 18-19 season was when they retired both PK and niedermayer's numbers and those were the last numbers retired. that'd be pretty stupid, but who knows with this team

Ritchie is probably the dumbest player ive seen. Montour is pretty close

This is maybe the best answer I've seen yet. I can not deny Selanne and even though I still have feelings, cant really deny PK either. But Scotty going up before Jiggy never made sense to me. If they wanted to do smoothing special like retire 35 during the 35th anniversary I would be fully understanding of it.

Best goalie is franchise history, Conn Smythe in a losing Finals, Cup winner... I cant think of anything more he could have done to be deserving of it.

Was at the team store today. They made a 1996 selanne jersey but no kariya. Kinda sad since he was my favorite player back then
 
i knew the new blues HC drew bannister's name sounded familiar. guy spent some time with the ducks way back in the day
 
Sawyer does color for the Jets TV now. I watched their feed on a recent Ducks game. Actually pretty impressed with him and their PxP guy. Knowledgeable (their PxP knows Ducks players better than Ahlers) and pretty balanced in their calls. Didn't come close to going overboard on the Strome/Connor incident. Well worth a listen.

Skipping the ducks game and watched Knights vs Panthers (and half of WJC Canada vs USA) what a game with lots of intensity… I forgot how good competitive games with good execution looked like… the only sad thing was watching how good Monty is and how he plays with more gusto than Fowler ever has and felt intense sadness that we could be in a different stage right now with him and Theo…

Glad he's doing okay. There was an article after his career ended about how his concussion issues were so bad he often had trouble just getting out of bed.
