Recall Cloutier challenging the entire Isles team?

Was there. Started because Mariusz the polish princess Czerkawski wanted to go with PJ Stock. I was there in 04 as well when he started the line brawl between the Rangers and Islanders with Dan “Wham Bam” LaCouture and got his ass kicked. The brawl where Messier choked out Blake.

The good old days.

This year was John Davidson's first year in the booth with Jim Gordon and Phil Esposito. His voice was so different. JD went to HNIC in Canada the following season.

Dave Maloney got smoked.

Jan Erixon

Steve Weeks

Look at Steve Larmer starting trouble. The Hawks had a few guys who became GM's. Doug Wilson and Darryl Sutter. Bob Murray too. Wilson could really shoot the puck.

I remember watching this that night and going crazy. Christmas vacation from grammar school.

Behn Wilson is still considered the best all time fighter in the NHL ever by a lot of fans. He was a beast. Throughout his career gave it to some of the toughest to ever play including Gillies, not once but twice. His one major loss on his record was none other then Nicky Fotiu who clobbered him!
 
Who can forget Chad Kolarik, Jeff Taffe, and Jeff Woywitka

A trio of ham and eggers
 
I was thinking about Adam Hall the other day and how excited we all were for him back in the summer of 2006. We were finally going to have one of those B-tier 20G-20A grinding power forwards.

Directly related to that was trading Dom Moore because instead of having 2 4Cs, Immonen was going to be low end 2C or co 3C with Matt Cullen.

Barnaby is my favorite. I was at this game that I'm posting and it might have been the most amazing thing I ever saw at a hockey game.

Wow. Garth Snow is f***ing punk btw. Everything else there was fairrrrly reasonable until Snow decides to prick it up. Good on Trefilov there. What a boss. I really like that Buffalo team. Was Ruff their coach? Flyers are total garbage.

Tony DeAngelo

At the time I really thought it would be more important for the Rangers to try to develop him rather than play McQuaid or Smith, I kind of still do.

It’s a tough situation for Quinn. Need to try to get something out of Smith. And McQuaid is a real Papa Bear that this team needs. For some reason DeAngelo can’t get traction either and I don’t think that’s for a lack of exposure. He just keeps shooting himself in the foot. But he’s still getting chances. The only head-scratcher is Staal not getting games off here and there. Unless they’re trying to build Staal’s value toward trading him. Which I don’t see as possible. There’s just no reason to run him out there every game.

Neither can I. Never understood why some felt he belonged on the first line. That was an actual opinion a real person had on this board.

I dont remember anyone advocating breaking up the Jagr line for Hossa, I can't see that opinion being very popular.

Hossa was weird. He was either excessively loved for some "untapped potential" that no one ever saw or excessively maligned for not being his brother or like being the poster child for Sathers incompetence or something.

Hossa was actually a pretty decent role player.

Fedor Fedorov on the other hand was awful.

Not exactly setting a high bar here. Fedorov was awful. One of the many attempts by Sather to get bloodlines? Who knows?

Remember when Brian Lawton stopped by for a cameo? Former 4th overall pick. And awful. As was Daigle.

The Daigle, Tim Taylor, John MacLean line is still one of my favorite “I don’t know what to do with any of these guys” lines I’ve ever seen. It worked for like a week.

Hossa actually did play on the Jagr line in 2007 when Straka and Shanahan got hurt and then Renney kept him there after they came back. So to be fair it wasn't just some posters who thought it was a good idea, the coach did too. The discussion was about did he deserve to stay on the Jagr line after everyone was healthy again.

I think when Straka came back he played on a line with Shanahan and Avery. Cullen played with Prucha and Callahan.

A lack of real scoring threats after the Jagr trio and Shanahan plus Cullen not producing as much as they'd like as a 2nd line C probably contributed to some of the different line combinations Renney came up with to get more scoring on other lines.
