I remember some crazy poster named JOrts on here from back in the day
Jed Ortmeyer was one of the big reasons we turned this franchise around.
nobody really wants to admit it, but its true. we went from having a team full of guys looking to cash checks, to having guys like Moore, Orts, Betts, and even Hollweg, who would run through a brick wall if you asked them to.
Guys with guts, heart, effort..but lack skill....were the guys who started the movement into effort every game.
we had so many guys who just flat out didnt show up. Once these guys got here, it because a team of guys who played hard...and then the skilled kids who came up also played hard.
Hes a huge reason this ship turned around....and some guy name Jagr, and some kid named Lundqvist.
Ye olde JOrts. Nice.
Didn't know that he actually struggled that bad. What a warrior.
I still have the Lady Liberty jersey with Jed's name.
Didn't he grow up next to a Canadiens legend?
