Bite your tongue my friend.

I've always had a soft spot for the guys who go out there and give every drop of energy they have on every shift because they know that is how they will keep their place. Literally bleeding to give the team an inch of progress. Bradley was the king of bleeding whenever he got a chance. Shit, someone sneezed near him and he bled. That's why he was my absolute favorite when he was with the team.
Forgot about Hendricks, he was great to watch, especially when he'd do that deadly fake shot and dangle move on a breakaway.
Man I really liked him until those texts were leaked. The guy was in a groupchat with some other fringe/non-NHLers and it was just them spewing the most disgusting, vile shit. But it wasn't just him calling girls "fat uglyWhat did Brendan Leipsic do again? Seems the moral code in your "least favorite" list is evident
" or talking shit about Connor McDavid's wife that did it - he posted a pick of Hathaway and Dowd and said something like "my linemates...can you imagine? What f***ing losers" while also talking shit about Wilson's girlfriend. The guy still thought he was hot shit even while he was barely getting time as a 4th line grinder. Garbage human.
I think the younger fans here don't realize just how fierce the heavy weights were. And many really had no business being in the NHL in the grand scheme of play. So getting some offensive production from that type of player was a glorious luxury.Bite your tongue my friend.
Simon may have been a “one season” wonder when he scored almost 30 — but he was the most feared fighter in the game for much of his career. He was a heavy weight before he started to score goals.
And he stayed a heavy weight until he hung them up. Dude was a stud, and could hit with the best of them.
I love me some Simon (and Ridley, if you couldn’t tell
It could be my childhood coloring things but Simon and Witt were both freaks. I still remember the article about Witt being hit by a vehicle and just being like "yeah, whatever, had worse" and going out and playing in the game
Witt for me it as always a mixed expectation bag in my early years of NHL draft nicking. The specter of Stevens as probably unfair I had an all to brief time with Stevens being on the caps but the loss of that type of player probably was a fan weighted expectation that Witt being the same type of player.
