Player Discussion Former Habs & Picks watch: Gone but not forgotten (No Current NHLers) II

[beowulf]

When you are surprised a guy is still playing pro hockey! That would be me with white.

 

[Prendan Brust]

Many players do,Shaw, Marchand,YOU,etc.

Yeah but Shaw’s contribution compensated for that, for a while, same thing for ME. As for Marchand, considering he’s an elite player in this league, I think we’d all be happy to deal with his brain cramps...

Did it though? Shaw was chastised repeatedly from what I recall,but time fly's. Marchand as well irked many but has compensating factors. White was alone in protecting the team more or less and needed a talking to and pick his spots better,but he was a decent player when he focused on playing hockey.

Don't get me wrong, I kinda liked White too but at some point I felt he wasn't worth the trouble. As for Shaw, up until his last concussion, I felt he was worth the trouble but some of our fellow fans didn't think so.

I liked Shaw as well,not sure I liked getting rid of Larry for him though. Fans will always have a difference of opinions and that's fine by me. The day everyone agrees to the same thing is not something that I can ever envision happening.

White, Shaw, Weise, Prust and about 1oo other 4th line plumbers with grinders. Not worth the bandwith.

Shaw was more than a 4th line grinder.

NHL Totals: Games played: 544, goals 116, assists 131, penalty minutes 573. That's pretty much it.

Yep, those are definitely better than a fourth liner.

Holy shit Kovy has the biggest nose Ive ever seen

37 points per 82 games is high end 3rd line numbers...

Maybe he has the smallest face?half face,half nose

Was listening to The Athletic Hockey Show podacast and they were talking about April Fools pranks. Here is one pulled by Larry Robinson I was unaware of:

Colin Sullivan retires to join the US military.

 

[JuicyHam]

I loved Ryan White. He carved out a nice career in the NHL. He was a nut but always put in 200%

 

[Milhouse40]

Emelin his in the hospital in a grave condition, doctors calling this a toxic hepatitis. Some sort of allergy to some meds. He tested negative to covid.

Apparently things are not looking great

 

[Milhouse40]

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Here's hoping he fully recovers quickly

 

[Archijerej]

Absolutely terrible. Get well soon Alexei!

 

[BarracudaMtl]

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

I hope Emelin is going to be okay and be back to perfect health ASAP. He was so fun to watch as a Hab.

 

[Runner77]

Godspeed, Alexei.

Hope it's nothing serious. I know he evoked mixed feelings around here but in general I liked him during his time in Montreal.
