Players and their teams

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

After that s***ty Kings/Wings 3rd period i couldn't help thinking how weird it would be to see Blake in a Wings jersey, there are just some players that will always be identified with "one" team as their team regardless of how many other teams they'll ever play for. Blake is one of those players; he'll always be a King to me. Which other players that may have moved around in their NHL career will always be thought of as a member of a certain team regardless of who they play for now or before? My list would definitely include:

Shanny as a Wing

Selanne as a Duck

Forsberg as a Dinkalanche

Messier as a Oiler

McCarty as a Wing

Schneider as a King

Chelios as a Blackhawk

Which other players and teams come to mind?

All of the previously mentioned, and for some reason, whenever I see Slava Kozlov in ATL I feel like its just a matter of time before he is back in the winged-wheel, so Kozlov as a Wing I guess, Jagr as a Penguin I think too

Kozlov gives me the feeling like when you borrow something to someone and then they keep borrowing it to their friends and you get pissed trying to track it down and get it back

I get that same feeling whenever we play Chicago and I see Lapointe wasting his time with them. I'm always thinking "ok, you've gone abroad for a few years now it's time to come home and get a real job again."

That's the only one I'd argue so far. To me, Mess will always be a Ranger. He was always second fiddle to Gretzky in Edmonton. Even when Gretzky was traded, Mess was never the guy as he was in NY.

I'll add these few...

Potvin as a Leaf

Ozzie as a Wing

Dom as a Saber

Lindros as a Flyer

Even tho he didn't move around.... you can't think of Steve Y without a winged wheel.

Kariya as a Mighty Duck

It's too bad that I'll forever think of Paulina as a dirty, stinkin rat!!!

They way he left us... broke my heart as a young Ducks fan... grrrr

anyways

Stevie Y - Wings

Weight - Blues

Messier - Rangers

Gretzky - Oilers

Hasek - Sabres

Pronger - Blues (subject to change... if he stays a Duck long enough I'll keep him as a Duck)

S. Niedermayer - Devils (ditto to Pronger's)

Selanne - Ducks

Khabibulin - Lightning

Belfour - Blackhawks

Leetch -Rangers

Blake - Queen

Forsberg - Avalanche

Bertuzzi - Canuck

Jagr - Penguin

The list goes on...

I'm going to try and think of one active player for each team who, if possible, is no longer with that club. Ideally it will be a 'face of the franchise' type of player.

Anaheim - Paul Kariya

Atlanta - Ilya Kovalchuk

Boston - Joe Thornton

Buffalo - Dominik Hasek

Calgary - Gary Roberts

Chicago - Jeremy Roenick

Colorado - Adam Foote

Columbus - Rick Nash

Dallas - Richard Matvichuk

Detroit - Brendan Shanahan

Edmonton - Ryan Smyth

Florida - Roberto Luongo

Los Angeles - Mattias Norstrom

Minnesota - Manny Fernandez

Montreal - Sheldon Souray

Nashville - Tomas Vokoun

New Jersey - Scott Niedermayer

NY Islanders - Roman Hamrlik

NY Rangers - Henrik Lundqvist

Ottawa - Zdeno Chara

Philadelphia - Rod Brind'Amour

Pittsburgh - Mark Recchi

St.Louis - Chris Pronger

San Jose - Mike Rathje

Tampa Bay - Pavel Kubina

Toronto - Mats Sundin

Vancouver - Ed Jovanovski

Washington - Alexander Ovechkin

Regrettably for Lapointe, he really dues just suck now; his bad play is not a product of his team.

Hull - Blues

McCarty - Wing

Shanahan - Wing

Sammuelson - Tool

LOL, that would be the "Coppenhagen Tools" I assume? As much as we pick on him, his bang-for-buck value is pretty good.
