West Coast Express Era Almost All Gone

Yeah. But Ruutu didn't retire from the NHL, he played a year or two in Finland before retiring.

And Bertuzzi was signed to a PTO and because of his knee, never got signed to a full.

I'm not sure if you're trying to be helpful or a jerk, I'm going to assume helpful and say thank you xD

Ruutu is done, anything else is wishful thinking ;)

Oh! Sorry, I was trying to be helpful.

And yeah, Ruutu's done. It'd be interesting to see if we could get Morrison for one year as a 13th forward if we end up trading away UFAs. It'd be awkward when he'd be asked which number he wants, tho...

West Coast Era was fun but ultimately unsuccessful, so in that regard I'm not interested in trying to replicate it.

Favorite moments were just watching Bert when he was a dominant player, he really was unique and incredibly creative. His commercial where he hits the guy through the tv's is another favorite memory of mine.

Jovo cop destroying Adam Deadmarsh twice. Deadmarsh was a dirty grease ball and ran his mouth non stop. Jovo knocked him out in seconds...TWICE, it was sublime.

Ya, I used to say he knocked the smirk off his face.

I dealt blackjack to Brendan Morrison and Jarko Ruuttu in winter 03. I had just moved here and picked up clues from the others in the casino, dealers and players. Brendan was really nice and respectful, to the point where I almost missed that he was a hockey player. Jarko had the biggest mitts I had ever seen. I can palm 20 chips to pay a bet, but 20 chips seemed lost in his hands. I didn't realize who they were until the other dealers told me about the backup goaltender at the craps table, who wound up being Petr Skudra and was a big fan of the craps table and had been a regular. The best but not completely full of $&!# about it.
