Former Ducks (2024-25 edition)

[MMC]

1M AAV

Still sucks to have lost him, but we already have a hard time seeing how we have room for all of Fowler, Zellweger, Mintyukov, Vaak, and LaCombe, with Dumoulin also on the left side, had we kept Thrun it would only be even more of a logjam and while he can be a NHLer, he hasn't done anything to separate himself from this group (nor would he likely have ever gotten the chance to if he had signed here)

I’m guessing this is mainly about Teemu promoting his new movie with Brett Hull.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Oilers are a shit organisation, more news at 11.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I would have thought some team would have signed Tracey by now, so yeah a complete bust.

For the first time ever, Teemu looks old. About time

He's starting to look like the gold prospector from Sisu. Just gotta Niedermayer that beard out

There area number of players similar to Tracey who remain unsigned. Would he benefit from a change of scenery or has he pretty much reached his peak? He's still just 23 years old.

One of the best ones they’ve done.

Glad they just came up with something again, but I have to say, this wasn't sufficient enough of a service to that game. Back then (mind you, Internet was still in its baby steps and live streams were pretty much unheard of) and due to a lack of coverage of the NHL on regular oder even PPV TV, I literally watched the live scores of the match on television text (Yes, I was there Legolas, 3,000 years ago.) and started to become super annoyed no TV channel got the end result, starting to think they all were just not giving a f***.

Only in the afternoon (game must have ended around 9:30 am or so in my time zone) did I find out they really went to 5OT for it.

I was in college. After the first OT, I set up my VCR to record the game and just left it on, thinking it would be over by the time I got back to my dorm and I'd rewind the tape and watch. I got back after about an hour and a half and it was still going. I think the 4th OT was just ending or the 5th just beginning. So I got to see the ending live. It was awesome.

A great moment to watch live but Steve Levy’s horrendous call still leaves me a little bitter.

I remember being at a family function party at some bar/restaurant during game two of that series. It was one of my first real glimpses of watching the team live (ever) that year.

I remember going back and forth to the bar that had a little TV In the corner with the game on. Had to make sure I caught the winning goal..

Is that ref at the end Gudas? Lmaoo looks like him

Ah, to be 10 years old again, running in and out of my parents' room approaching midnight with school the next day while they were asleep, only to then lose my mind when Sykora buried it.

Angels magical World Series run, Ducks magical run to the Stanley Cup, and the Raiders in the Super Bowl. Still the greatest calendar run of sports in my lifetime.

Not everything is about money.

Yeah it just seems like he got to have a good time making a movie with some friends where he’s the villain.

Maple Leafs Unlikely To Register Jani Hakanpää's Contract

Sorry to hear this, he made himself into a pretty steady defender and unfortunately didn't get a long tenure to make bank in the league as a late bloomer. I guess there's still a chance he isn't done, but that report on his knee sure doesn't sound encouraging.

That sucks. He's one of the few players who went to America, didn't succeed and returned to Europe but got another chance and succeeded. Very often players who return to Europe don't go back even though they always say "my goal is still the NHL".

That sucks. Quickly became a favourite of mine during his short tenure here. :/
