Since it's been 7 years and some people may not be aware, Riley Sheahan scored 2 goals in the Red Wings' last game of the year in 2017.

Normally this isn't noteworthy, but he hadn't scored a goal in the previous 84 games (including 5 playoff games in 2016). In 122-ish shots on goal, and 217-ish shot attempts.

Definitely one of the careers in the NHL

We'll always remember our favorite Teletubby.

One of the most vanilla players I've ever seen. Nothing sticks out about him at all. Carved out a nice career, but he just always seemed like he was just kinda... there.

 

[Eye of Ra]

One of the softest player i ever seen. He made Kessel look like a goon.

 

[WarriorofTime]

One of the guys of all time.

Exactly…..Noooooo not Riley
Say it isn’t so

I like his song Shape of You

 

[Habsrule]

I am guessing he was a great locker room guy. He never really did anything all that special and still managed to to play 670 total NHL games. Coaches liked him.

I vaguely remember his name from his time in Buffalo..completely forgot about him until reading this thread though. Best of luck to him with coaching

It's weird because he's retiring at a near .33 clip in terms of points. It never felt like he did anything yet somehow almost amassed 200 points.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Playing in the NHL in an accomplishment so congrats to him for that. But was mostly a warm body/empty sweater for the penguins. Never noticed him at all, good or bad.

 

[VeteranPresence]

Laugh all you want, but Riley was a very good fourth liner his one year in Edmonton and our PK fell apart the moment he left. Good luck to him in retirement.

I only remember this because it was the Devils who they were playing in the season finale/last game at Joe Louis Arena. And both goals were on Cory Schneider who was just capping off his first decline season.

I honestly didn’t realize Sheahan hadn’t retired, but many players don’t even announce it and just go away. He didn’t play at all in any league anywhere last year.

Solid career for him after he realized he wasn't going to be a top 6 1st round level player.

Good old Ontario guy, who played almost 700 NHL games.

LIkely a future Scout/coach at some level in professional hockey

 

[Tupu]

Hope youve got a good retire! Always on the mood for good dude! Damn you got play with good players also. Have a good one! Also thanks for the times, you were there up for Detroit when noone was around

 

[ItWasJustified]

32 is a bit young to retire.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Wow, tough thread.

 

[ijuka]

Is it bad that the only thing I know about the guy is that he got very close to scoring 0 goals during a season?

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

I only remember him for this:

https://x.com/i/web/status/1719442722539421783

And almost not scoring a single goal as a fwd one year in like 2017 or something


Lol

Kessel would goon it up from time to time.



Him going all agro slashing John Scott never fails to make me laugh. Pure gold

 

[Freaky Styley]

Funny/random to see a thread about him here. He's from my neck of the woods & a friend of a friend
