Ales Hemsky Appreciation Thread

[Del Preston]

Pop quiz, how did we acquire the pick that we got Hemsky with? It was originally Boston's pick

Bill Guerin trade!

Not sure if this has been posted already but it's worth a look:

5 million a year for a half assed effort on most nights is more than enough appreciation.

Maybe he will put out for his new team. He has talent maybe even more than when he was young just doesn't keep it turned on. Lost interest here.

Can we trade this guy?

 

[Asher]

On many, many evenings, he was the only player on this team worth watching. I'll miss the guy.


Best of luck, Ales Hemsky.

Thanks for the memories.

 

[fuswald]

Definitely a good watch sometimes. Will miss that for sure.

Get Ottawa to the playoffs Ales. Go Ottawa go.

Will definitely be missed. Thank you Ales. Once an Oiler, always an Oiler

One of the best talents we have had in 20 years. He certainly made me rise out of my seat on more than one occasion and is one of my favorites!

I will always wonder how great he could have been if he had half of Rudiger's heart.....

Thanks for the memories Hemmer.

All the best.

My thoughts exactly. Ales ranks up there with Weight and Smyth as my favorite post-glory years Oilers. Miss him already. Go Sens!!

Everybody thinks about the Detroit goal, but my favorite ever Hemsky goal was in Game 1 against the Hurricanes.

We had blown a 3-0 lead and everything was going wrong. All of a sudden Hemsky gets the puck, comes flying down the wing and scores a beautiful goal. Was such a clutch goal that should have sent the game to OT. That's what Hemsky gave us for a long time. A player that could turn any game around in a second. We haven't had a player that could just make a play out of nothing like that since I've been watching the Oilers.

Thanks for the memories Ales.

A small part of me still wants him to re-sign here in the summer lol.

No, just no.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Can we trade this guy?

Think him and Trafalalalala can get us Kesler in the off season?

That hurts almost as much as Ladi wearing a flame jersey (which was only worse because its Calgary)

Hemsky is playing live on Snet West, game is about to start.

I hope he lights it up tonight.
