I remember that game (Canucks got blown out 7-1). I think it would have been Corson. Let's actually check...

Both Keane and Corson (along with everyone else) fought in that game, but neither right at the end, which is how I remembered it...

Didn't Corson go after Jovocop off the ice in a postal rage? I forgot the story behind that.

Bump lol. Just randomly remembered Derek Roy was briefly a Canuck.

I had a coworker a couple years ago who grew up with Derek Roy in Ontario and played hockey with him as a kid.

Apparently Roy's dad was a super-aggro stereotypical idiot hockey dad who would yell and scream at him in front of the other kids after games, berate the refs consistently, and so on. This guy felt like Roy actually hated playing hockey but just did it for his dad's approval and because he couldn't really quit.

Might explain why Roy basically flamed out at age 28 and had 'partying' rumours following him around for most of his career.

That's really f***ing sad. Jesus.

with all this talk recently of kiefer sherwood and wildly entertaining bottom six guys of the past, i have been thinking about young garry valk

gritty, fast, killed penalties

i remember he beat bure in a straight line race during the skills competition one year

those early 90s teams were just so deep there was no room for him

On that topic, I always associate Garry Valk and Robert Kron (CC @RobertKron). Different type of players, but they were both rookies on the 1990-91 Canucks, which is the season I first started following the team.

I always felt Kron had untapped potential -- there was something in his style of skating/puckhandling that looked like he was more skilled than the average guy. He did end up putting up a couple of 50-point seasons, which always made me nod my head approvingly like Mr. Miyagi.

yeah i always lumped those two together too

both were older rookies, kron iirc came in with some hype as a former big prospect in czechoslovakia, valk was just a grinder

makes sense then that when we traded kron we got murray craven, while valk was lost on waivers (three months later we picked up gelinas on waivers)

Yeah, Kron felt to me like a player always on the edge of breaking out. Granted, I was a child and had no idea what I was watching, but I was furious when they traded him when he was putting up numbers. I assumed he was going to become a star.
