OT: NHL players that you want(ed) to win a cup and those that you don't.

[Hurst2112]

Somebody posted in the NHL thread that they were bummed that Francis never won a cup. I would agree that he deserves it.

Post who you think should get one, or should have gotten one. Also post who you think should never get one...haha.

Win: Ron Francis
Never Win: Barnaby and/or Lindros

EDITED FOR FACE-SAVING

Win: Pat LaFontaine or Sundin

[Fidatelo]

Francis won 2 cups...

[sachmo71]

Win: Paul Kariya
Never Win: The San Jose Sharks...minus Todd Harvey and Scott Thorton

[Fidatelo]

Flogging may start right away. :D

Live and die with ignorance.

[Maple Leafs]

Win: Sundin, Cujo, Andreychuk (maybe this year), Domi,
Never: Kariya, Selanne, any other bandwagon hopper who tries to parachute onto a winner*

*Yes, I realize that to some extent this contradicts my Cujo selection...

[ScottVib]

I wanted Francis to win a cup... but only while he was in Hartford.

F'N Karmanos. :mad:

F'N Eddie Johnston as GM of the Whalers - Yeah Francis, Ulf Samuelsson, and Grant Jennings for John Cullen and Zalapski... great deal.

The next year Eddie Johnston is coaching the Penguins.

:mad:

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

It's funny that all of the NHL threads have the most :mad: in them.

Hockey is a violent sport. *shurg*

[rkmsuf]

Not that I have a player in mind or anything but wouldn't an appropriate parody thread be:

OT: NHL players that you want(ed) to wear a cup and those that you don't.

[sachmo71]

No cup: Owen Friggin Nolan. I would love to see that guy take a shot in the nads.

[Hurst2112]

You shouldn't talk about Owen's Nolans like that.

:D

[Johnny93g]

Win: Sundin, Domi, Owen Nolan, Wendel Clark, Borje Salming, Sitler, Dave Andreychuck, Dale Hawerchuck, and yes, Jeremy Roenick
Never: Daniel Allferdsson, Bobby Clarke(as a gm) any NY Ranger making 7 digits( with the exception of Lindros...cuz i think he will be a Leaf someday)

[samifan24]

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Well I wasn't around the Whale for the Eddie Johnston days, but I still bleed green. Sami Kapanen would be my choice.

[bbor]

Want:Sundin.....Kariya......Linden

Not:Bobby Clarke.....Lindros.....Some how those 2 not winning together seems to go together:)

Why would you want Lindros to be a Leaf? He's like a bad case of scabies for any team he is on. ;)

[sachmo71]

Why hate on the Sharks?

Because they hate on us?

[Johnny93g]

Why would you want Lindros to be a Leaf? He's like a bad case of scabies for any team he is on. ;)

I just think he really wants to be in Toronto....and he will play much harder as a Leaf......Lindros still has all kinds of talent.....and I have no problem with players who want to play in Toronto.......

[finkenst]

Win: Mike Gartner, Rob Blake, Mats Sundin
Never: Darcy Tucker, Eric Lindros
Wish I Could Take It Away From: Dominik Hasek
hmm, agree on Hasek..

Rob Blake won a cup with the Avalanche...

[Honolulu_Blue]

Poor Dom. It's all right, Dom. No one will ever take our Cup away from us!

As for me...

win: Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and anyone else who may be playing for the Wings when the next season start and has yet to win. (just towing the party line)

never: Tough to say. Most the players I hate have already won one...

[Hurst2112]

Wasn't Datsyuk on the playoff roster for the last Wings cup win?

[Vince]

Because they hate on us?
Only reason we hate is because we haven't gotten there yet...so it's right to hate those who have denied us.

[Hurst2112]

DOLA: For every one of your Hasek votes, I will throw in a Belfour. :D

[lynchjm24]

You left out JEFF PARKER! His claim to fame in Hartford being that he survived being checked into a the glass support at the end of the bench. I don't remember him ever returning. Seems like he might have played 5 games or so...

Actually he played 4. whalershockey.com is a tremendous site for all you Whaler fans there.

Today is Grant Jennings 38th birthday, btw.

[Maple Leafs]

Today is Grant Jennings 38th birthday, btw.Grant Jennings, once traded to the Leafs for Drake Berehowsky.

Why do I know shit like this, but not the color of my wife's eyes?

Your wife's eyes are brown. :D

sorry, that was nasty.

[Maple Leafs]

Your wife's eyes are brown. :DWell met.

[Draft Dodger]

hmm, agree on Hasek..

Rob Blake won a cup with the Avalanche...

my word, you'd think I would have known that

[Pumpy Tudors]

Win:
Jarome Iginla (hopefully this year, as I've adopted the Flames as my favorite team for the rest of the season)
Sean Burke (the reason I became a Devils fan years ago, but NOT this year, as I hate the Flyers)
Paul Martin (did a more than admirable job with his additional ice time after Scott Stevens went out)
Nikolai Khabibulin
Rob Niedermayer
Valeri Bure

Not Win:
Pavel Bure
Eric Lindros
Everyone on the Flyers who hasn't won one yet

[klayman]

Want: Ryan Smyth, Mike York, Raffi Torres, Eric Brewer, Jerome Iginla, Paul Karyia (but not on the Avs), Saku Koivu, Joe Thornton, Bill Guerin (hopes he gets another one, but not with the Stars).

Never: Curtis Joseph, Doug Weight, Mike Comrie. Most players I never want to win a cup already have.

Kicking in the nads: Derian Hatcher

[Maple Leafs]

Just curious: what with all the Cujo hate? Can someone briefly explain why this guy seems to be universally loathed?

[Johnny93g]

Anyone who chooses to leave Toronto, in any sport will be hated in Toronto by Torontonians....this also applys to Tracy McGrady, and Shawn Green

Greedy little bastard left a pretty damn good Oilers team just because he wanted more money.

Greedy fuck... :mad:

[WussGawd]

Want:Sundin.....Kariya......Linden

Not:Bobby Clarke.....Lindros.....Some how those 2 not winning together seems to go together:)

You realize, of course, that Bobby already has two cups as a player, right?

[WussGawd]

Want: Jeremy Roenick.
Don't Want: Todd Bertuzzi

[pennywisesb]

Win: Paul Kariya
Never Win: The San Jose Sharks...minus Todd Harvey and Scott Thorton


Hater....Go Sharks!

[pennywisesb]

Want: Jarome Iginla, Olaf Kolzig, Dougie Weight, Keith Tkachuk, Marcus Naslund, Chris Pronger
Not: Teemu Selanne, Paul Kariya, Eric Lindros, Pavel Bure

Keep this in mind the next time you get a job offer that pays better money.

[bbor]

I excuse those 2 cups because at that point i just thought he was a pain in the ass type hockey player.But now i realize he is a pain in the ass human being.

And he showed it by having Eaglesonin his box at play-off games....nothing like kicking players in the face.

[JeeberD]

Keep this in mind the next time you get a job offer that pays better money.

There's a big difference between me leaving my current job for a better paying one than someone who is already a multi-millioniare leaving a team that has a chance to make a good run at the Stanly Cup because he wants even more millions.

And by the way, I have turned down better paying jobs. I love my boss, and I have this thing called loyalty that a lot of people don't seem to understand...

[klayman]

Especially when he leaves the team that saved his career from Mike Keenan and the St. Louis Blues doghouse. It was a betrayal against the fans that worshiped him for 2 million dollars more...and for that, no cup for you, cujo!!!

[Tekneek]

I've liked Cujo less since he left Edmonton for Toronto. I don't care much that he left Toronto for Detroit. I can't stand either of those teams.

[Tekneek]

And he showed it by having Eaglesonin his box at play-off games....nothing like kicking players in the face.

He had Eagleson in the box? That's unreal. He knows this guy was stealing money, even while Clarke was a player, and he still associates with him? That's something I can't comprehend.

[Karim]

Yes:
2003-2004 Flames :D, Weight, Heatley, Naslund, Thornton, Sundin, Smyth, McLellan, Brathwaite, Koivu, B. Jackman, Pronger, Jovanovski, Rucchin

No:
Lindros, Yashin, Bure, Cujo, Jokinen, Tkachuk, Bill Wirtz, Kariya

[Mr. Wednesday]

Jim Fahey and Dan McGillis are the only definites. I can cheer for anybody else that's been around a while without winning, though, like Roenick and Amonte.

Well, don't forget, the Leafs were his childhood team, as well. To me, if you could play for the team you grew up cheering for, and make a little extra cash, it seems like a no-brainer.
