Riley Sheahan retires

[GarlicbreadTB]

Dylan Larkin thinks highly of him:

My momma told me that if I can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.....

I only remember him for this:

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


Lol

Didn't score a goal all year then scores the opening goal of the last game at Joe louis arena, then the very last goal ever scored at the arena.

On the positive side, I'll also always remember this clutch goal he scored as the wings were fighting to get into the playoffs in the last few games of the season

A hockey player he was, congrats on your retirement!

I don't know if guys like Riley Sheahen get to "retire". They are basically told that there is no demand for their services anymore. Nothing personal and he had a decent career, but it is not like he's walking away from an NHL job right now.

They are basically told that there is no demand for their services anymore.

And you know that he didn't receive any contract offers because...?

Drunk teletubby.

Anyone else remember the “Mediocre NHLers of the 1990s” group in the earliest days of Facebook in Canada? Those were the days.

I don't know why his name is so familiar. I must have seen a game where his name got called a lot and it just stuck with me. Hope he enjoys his retirement.

About as bleh a player as can be imagined. Congrats to him for making all that money

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Good Irish kid. Worked a union trade until he couldn't. Good on him.

Who?

Drunk teletubby.

And you know that he didn't receive any contract offers because...?

Was it because of his depression diagnosis? Then, that's just not fair. I know he didn't report once when getting sent down...

The day Sheahan was drafted I went searching for scouting reports and I remember reading something along the lines of "sometimes plays like a third defenseman" and I was so underwhelmed with the pick. Unfortunately, those feelings never got any better either.

If people remembered me as drunk teletubby I'd frankly be proud. It beats what they currently remember me as...
