Most of these are guys I would never think of when you mention past Bruins teams, but once you say their name you remember them. Like, "oh yeah, Stephane Yelle was on the 2009 team, I forgot about him." But looking through the rosters of teams, even as recent as the past ten years, there are some people that I flat out have no recollection of, even though I was watching at the time.
Some guy named Drew Larman played 4 games in the 2010 season, and I have no idea who that is. Someone named Guillaume Lefebvre also played a game that year, I'm completely blanking. 2013 had Aaron Johnson and Jamie Tardif, both of whom I'm not remembering or barely remembering. Johnson played ten games that year, and only vaguely do I remember that. 2014 had a Nick Johnson, and I think I remember that just because the name was the same as a baseball player, but I only remember the name and not the player.
Some cup of coffee guys I do remember well though, like Bobby Robins. Only played three games, but he left an impression. Or guys like Gemel Smith or Rob O'Gara, I remember them.
Other things pop out that surprise me. Like J-M Liles played two seasons here, I'd thought he was just here for a half-year after a deadline trade, but he came back the following season. And apparently JFK played 28 games last year? That's a third of the season, didn't feel like it. And I remember when we got Jay Pandolfo as a fill-in at the end of his career, but I didn't remember that that was the 2013 team that made it to the finals. I figured it was like 2015 or 2016.
