OT: Let's Remember Some Guys

[eco's bones]

I've mentioned it here before but Beck's shoulder was never the same after the Pat Flatley hit in the 1984 playoffs.

What type of injury was it exactly and it is something like an ACL was where back in the day it was bad, but modern medicine it wouldn't have been as big an issue?

I remember Beck coming back with the Kings in the late 80s when Duguay was there. Barry had one of the worst helmets I've ever seen.

Speaking of ACLs, I hope Tomas Kloucek is living a good life in Czech nowadays. Kid got some bad injuries at really bad times and never reached his potential. I saw him when he made it to the Thrashers and it was sad. Damaged goods.

I loved Tomas Kloucek in the short time he was with us. Not really an offensive D but that kid could hit and he was great at triggering the opposition. He was like a more frequent Trouba when the NHL was quite a bit more open season.
