I remember being a big fan of Troy Mallette...a great tough guy who could score a bit....was a small price to pay for getting Graves, but a player I always liked.

3D chess by Smith,
getting Mallette all those games so young,
earning rating as fair comp for Gravey
Too bad he got so reckless after the Cup
Remember Matti Norstrom

I always thought one of the most head scratching depth moves of the later Neil Smith years was not keeping Kurri around for 97. Team went after Gretzky (and got him), and needed depth players who could contribute...so instead of keeping Kurri around let him go to Anaheim and brought in Pat Flatley.
That one never made sense to me, and I always thought Kurri would've had one more decent year in him which obviously wasn't going to be the case playing with Kevin Todd and the ghost of Brian Bellows in Anaheim.

Who was it that Hollweg hit from behind.....Simon ? I thought he would have killed him as it was pretty dirty . Hollweg always ended up crunching guys right on the #'s.....lucky he never killed somebody.

Mallette and Jannsens fought all comers.....no looking back with those two guys . Another heart and soul guy was Kris King....he was fearless .

89-90 was a fun season. Great move by Smith picking up King and later Domi. Nilan was on that team too.

Eddie Shack "The Entertainer" got his start here in 1958 and went on to play seventeen seasons in the NHL. I always liked his line in a commercial..."take care of the nickels and dimes and the dollars will look after themselves."

Always felt Doug Lidster circa 1994 could have doubled for Jerry Seinfeld.
Going back a bit further, I loved Orland Kurtenbach!!!!

Calle Andersson is another. His brother on the Flames is pretty good.
Kevin Hatcher ugh
The wrong twins Ferraro twins instead of Sedin lol
Good to see Kurtenbach and Fleming getting shout outs. Although he didn't fight much, he was a feared fighter and Ranger fans sometimes called him "K.O." Kurtenbach, reversing his initials.
Reggie Fleming, what a wild and crazy guy. There was one year early in the Francis era, before we became a good team, and when Gilbert was out long term with back injuries that Jean Ratelle (who had not yet emerged as a star), centered a line with Fleming and Vic Hadfield (also a feared fighter). Some of Ratelle's best moments were being defended by these guys.

There's an intersection in Wethersfield, CT that is Jay and Wells. Always wanted to take a picture of it.
