(stealing the idea from another teams forum)

Basically I will start by naming a player, and someone will respond with their favorite memory of said player, and then leave another name of a player for the next/other people to respond.
- It can be a current player, or any player from the past
- Doesn't necessarily have to be an in game moment, can be a meeting or a story
- Even if someone responds to a name, if you have a good memory or story, feel free to share anyway and add a diff name
- Start fairly simple and as the thread goes on, start testing some of our knowledge/history by using names that were maybe forgotten or predate some posters.

I think its been an eventful, exhausting, and even exciting time to be a ducks fan. Despite our differing opinions on other threads, were all posters here for a reason, we love this team. I feel like this will be a nice way to remember why we are fans in the first place, and maybe bring back old memories of duck greats while we prepare to enter the next era of ducks hockey.


So ill start with a pretty simple name (but feel free to use any names, maybe leave some of the trivia names out until we get further along in the game).

There's only one answer to this one, really - Iginla fight.

Another one where there's only one answer to - Dan Sexton.

Hmm, imma go off the board with my Dan Sexton memory

I was dating a girl when he first came into the league and he was her favorite player... she even went as far to make him her celebrity "hall pass"

Unquestionably the worst trade in franchise history IMO; I will go to my grave believing the Ducks win the Cup in 2009 if he stays. Hat trick against Vancouver in Game 1 in 2007 is one of my favorite moments in team lore, another career cut too short by concussions.

Not even kidding, I was also dating a girl at the time that had the hots for him AND somehow they wound up becoming facebook friends.

Easy peasy.

Kunitz going after ruutu like a dog with rabies after ruutu hit andymac.




Next: Rusty Salei. (Plenty of good ones to pick from ... )
