OT: Let's Remember Some Guys

I still use "Gaborik" in a lot of my passwords

I assumed they'd all revolve around Emily. Iloveemily69#!$

No Sandstrom trade no Messier trade......

I think we could have gotten Messier with Sandstrom and/or Granato in the trade in place of Nicholls.

Well, not all. I was advised by the interwebs to use different passwords and to keep changing them regularly.

IMHO, Torts was too quick to reject the depth guys he inherited, Freddy and Betts and Korpi

Korpi asked out that summer as an RFA. Betts I think for whatever reason was viewed as damaged goods after Brashear knocked him out. He played two more years for the Flyers and now works in manufacturing. Solid career for a solid player.

Torts seemed to love Sjostrom his first year and then they just let him go to Calgary. It was very strange. He only played three more years and his limited offense was even more limited.

 

[eco's bones]

The teammates he had that kept opponents from getting a good night's sleep though were Bob Probert and Joey Kocur. Gallant was feisty and tough but kind of a run of the mill physical force for his era. Playing a lot with Yzerman certainly helped his production numbers. Probert and Kocur beat people up and sometimes severely.....and both of them were feared around the league.

Robbie Ftorek’s alien head in his joffa helmet

I don't think it was a Jofa, I think he rocked a Northland, same one Stan Mikita used. It was so Fugly it was almost beautiful.


Remember when Mess got involved in the bucket biz....lol.

Ayo what the f*** is this

 

[RangersFan1994]

I always wondered why the Rangers were never really patient with some of their younger players during the dark era with some potential like Marc Savard, Daniel Goneau, Ferraro brothers, Vladimir Vorobiev, Dube, Ryan VandenBussche, Eric Cairns.

Re Canes' Necas current streak: "Martin Necas (0-2—2) extended his point streak to 13 games and tied Blaine Stoughton (13 GP in 1981-82) for the fifth longest in Canes(Whalers) franchise history."

back when NYR collected scoring stars from other teams,
they traded (Scot Kleinendorst) for Stoughton during '83-84 season
The 4 prior seasons he'd AVERAGED 49 Goals/season
(Those were high-scoring post-WHA-merger years)

but for NYR he was -12 in 14 games,
then he never played NHL again after that season

He certainly was....and often fought out of his weight class . When he was in puck battles....he did not pick his spots . He was all wolverine . I miss seeing guys play like he did back then . Every team should have a couple of Gallant types . It would make the games more entertaining .
