It will always be Spezza until he retires.



I would like to humble brag that I made that thread 10 years ago.

The biggest bozo I can remember for Edmonton was Rafi Torres. After we lost in the SCF he got resigned for something like 2.2-2.7M per year for 3-4 years and he totally changed his playing style. After signing that contract he got this crazy idea in his head that he was a top 6 forward who was supposed to score on the rush. I think he was top 10 in the league in shots that year (could be wrong, but it seemed like he got a ton of shots on net) and he had as little patience with the puck as a pewee player.

Give him the puck and he'd skate it 3-10 feet into the offensive zone and he'd be sure to take a shot before anyone from either team was in front of the net. It didn't result in many offensive zone face-offs because he didn't have a hard shot. It was so easy for the goalie to smother his shots and instantaneously distribute it to a teammate. I can't remember what we traded him for, but we traded him away and he started playing dirty and shopped shooting so often and then the suspensions racked up and he quickly became the player he was remembered to be when he retired.

There's my choice for bozo.

Sean Avery has gotta be up there, but it's not as much for his on ice play. I'm convinced that his off ice antics, nonsense and personality made him hard to appreciate and it ruined his career. I thought he was really talented and a viable 2nd line forward before everyone in the league had gotten sick and tired of his routine.

Rick Depietro should be up there. Sorry if I killed the spelling there. I'll never forget he'd been on the shelf due to injuries for a dog's age and it was his first or second game back and he gets in a fight and breaks his hand. I was flat out speechless when I saw the highlights later that night. Flat out couldn't believe a goalie who should recognize that he's fairly injury prone thought it the right choice to get into a fight right after coming back from a serious injury. Crazy stuff. Made for some good laughs. Don't need to feel sorry for the guy. He's still making money from the buyout and he's got a good gig in NY these days.
Avery is just a big huge f***ing unmilked wheatwaffled asshole. I still remember the clip, in which he toys with homeless people. What a goddamn asshole.

Calling him a bozo is an insult to all other bozos in this universe. That guy has no manners at all and should never interact with other beings ever again. f***ing idiot!

I really didn't understand what the hell he was doing/ thinking with the whole homeless person thing. I'd totally forgotten that.

Shows what kind of person he is. I mean, why in the f would you even think to do that?

What a tool. Just basic disrespect for other humans- I feel like he wants to look good these days just because it keeps attention on him, but really there's just a lack of empathy at the core.

Anyways, Bettman upped his game. "Hey guys, tune in for a big announcement!"

It was rule changes. This toolbox actually hyped the announcement of rule changes. Get bent Betts.
