OT: Let's Remember Some Guys

[nyr2k2]

It gets pretty tense around here especially when we're playing particularly horrible. So let's play a game, which isn't really a game, but is just a feature on a sports blog I like. It's called Let's Remember Some Guys. You don't have to do anything other than post some guys that you remember. Maybe you want to recall when you saw them randomly, like @NYR Viper just recalled seeing Kris Newbury and @Amazing Kreiderman saw Andrew Yogan playing in Beirut or somewhere. The guys don't need to be special or noteworthy, just guys you remember, or guys who if you say their name, you think other people will be like, "I remember that guy."

Terry Yake

Rumun Ndur

Zarley Zalapski

Peter Sidorkiewicz

Brent Fedyk

Do you guys remember any of those guys?

If someone is still playing elite prospects does a pretty good job of keeping up with players. Just saying.

Anyway Tomas Kloucek. I had a lot of hopes for him. Wrecked his knee really badly and then got rushed back soon.

As far as Zalapski he died not too long ago. Ndur was born in Nigeria but grew up in the Toronto area.

I remember coming out of the lockout thinking Hugh Jessiman and Rick Kozak were going to terrorize the Atlantic division as power forwards for years.

 

[Bob Richards]

Kris Newbury oh f*** yeah

Rangers/Boston. Game 5 2013. Our 4th line was Micheal Haley-Kris Newbury-Derek Dorsett

Had not lived up until that moment and haven't lived since it ended.

 

[E-Train]

I need to know what Joby Messier and Mike Hurlbut are up to these days.

 

[Joey Bones]

Petr Prucha. I was really young (think 13 years old) when NYR traded him to Phoenix and that was the first and only time I was emotional to a player being let go by the Rangers. If it weren't for the injuries, I think he still would've been a solid 25-30 goal scorer.

Who was the enforcer tweener who elbowed someone in the head in his like first game with the Rangers and then got suspended and waived+claimed or outright traded right after?

Jeff Woywitka

Chad Wiseman

Aaron Voros

[GeorgeKaplan]

I feel like I think about Paul Mara like once a month for some reason

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Daniel Goneau was Voros before Voros....

In terms of starting out on fire, not getting his ass kicked in almost every fight.

Zalapski died? f*** me, man.

I loved that dude. I feel like he took a lot of shit but was generally a good player for us.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lmao Todd White....

Didn't he play like 3 games here because we had to bury him in the minors for cap reasons?

If we're going post lockout, this thread cannot be allowed to go on with out a shout out to Patrick Rissmiller

I looked him up to make sure his first name was Paul, never knew he was a 7th overall pick

 

[cwede]

Simo Saarinen, like too many other young guys we've had, NHL career cut short by early injury

Jim Dorey and his 1 game (plus 1 PO game) NYR career

Vaclav Nedomansky finishing his career w NYR

Bobby Rousseau

Glenn Sather, #6, getting penalized for holding a jersey through a hole in his glove

Ron Harris, hard working tough journeyman with a clutch playoff OT goal! HockeyDB says he was 5'9", 175# - he played bigger than that

Mike Ridley

Bubba Beck

 

[nyr2k2]

Trent Klatt and Ken Klee had nothing to do with one another but I always confused them.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Marty Straka

 

[Thirty One]

Rumun Ndur has like/retweeted probably 20 of my tweets, so yeah... no big deal.

 

[Joey Bones]

Chad Kolarik, lololololololololololol. Actually carved himself out a nice career in Europe!!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Ndur is on twitter?!?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Shane McColgan. He was on fire in Kelowna at age 16/17 and was mentioned in the same breath as Nugent-Hopkins. We picked him in the 4th round after he dropped due to injuries. I was ecstatic. He left the WHL for the Vees in the BCHL and earned a PTO with the Kings.

In 2016, I met him in Tilburg when he played in the Netherlands where he scored at a PPG in the Oberliga Nord (The Netherlands has a team in the German 3rd division)

Never forget Jason Krog centering Brendan Shanahan.
