Joel Heyman Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Where does all this imaginary quality for Sundin come from around here, anyway? The guy had 28 points in 41 games, that is a fifty-six point pace, not 70. Other than that, he was a dog, a complete defensive liability. The guy was so fat and out of shape he could barely get his hockey pants on. Demitra was a lazy slob in his own end too - the only thing that made the line was Kesler. Kesler flourished there because he finally, for the first time in his career, had second line, not third line responsibilities. In addition, Kesler had 10 goals 14 assists playing with Burrows on the checking line that year a 20 goal 28 assist 48 point pace on the third line. Kesler got far more from being in more offensive situations than he ever got from playing with Sundin. Sundin had the good fortune to have an emerging Kesler on his line, Sundin himself was just a great big, fat boat anchor of a player by that time in his career. One does not have to wonder why he went back into retirement - it was just too much trouble to stay in shape, even with a 10 million dollar enticement.

Tragoedia Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Sedin Sedin Burrows (10/11) Bertuzzi Morrison Naslund (02/03) Bure Linden Adams (93/94) Torres Malhotra Hansen (10/11) Hamhuis Bieksa (10/11) Edler Erhoff (10/11) (Hopefully after this season Garrison instead) Ohlund Salo (02/03) Luongo (06/07) McLean (93/94) Coach: Quinn (93/94) Assistant Coach - Vigneault (10/11) Yes, I only selected from 3 years, as those were some of our best teams we've had. (2012 had mostly the same team as 2011, but 2011 was a better season). The reason Bure is on the third line is because if they were to actually play, I could then swap him and Burrows in the game, so it would be Sedin Sedin Bure, and Burrows Linden Adams. Is that cheating? Yes. Do I care? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
