Big Ben appreciation thread

[Slow Hands]

I hope him the best. Sorry to see him go :-(

 

[NyQuil]

Made Martin Prusek look like Darrin Madeley.

It always sucks when you have 3 guys you like. He'll be missed here for sure. Great guy, great teammate, and a great player too. Best of luck down in sunny Tampa, Big Ben, thanks for everything!

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Thanks for lighting a fire in Lehner.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Wish the best to him and hope Tampa can put some more talent in front of him. If he can shore up thy five hole he could be a starter for a long time in this league.

+ Saving our ***** last year.

He had a stupid first name anyways.

I wish him all the best. He is a big part of why we are where we are these days. Hope he finds success in TB, he deserves it.

Back to sucking at the shoot outs.

 

[dennilfloss]

A smiling gentle giant, great teammate and excellent goalie who really helped us during his stay here. Best of luck with your new team.

 

[18Hossa]

just remembered the "BIIISHOP" chants from the last home game. Wish him the best (when he's not playing us).

 

[Volt]

Wish nothing but the best for Big Ben. He was a great teammate, player and person in the organization.

I will always remember Bishop fondly for his ridiculous skill in shoot outs. Got to see two shoot out wins at home this season and it really was impressive to his confidence going 1 on 1.

I'm glad we got a year out of him and were able to flip him for a valuable piece. He's got loads of potential still and I'd love to see him become the #1 for Tampa.

Here's to ya Big Ben!

 

[mcnorth]

Thanks for stopping all those pucks, Ben! Nice work!

 

[Beville]

All the best for Bish, so glad we had him for that stint.

It's his job to lose is Tampa though!

 

[GoSensGo6172]

Andy and especially Lehner are definitely going to have to work on their shoot out skills.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He kept us in a lot of games.

Can't say I hope he succeeds in Tampa though. They're in our division next year.

 

[dumbdick]

Thanks Benny-boy-o!

I love this trade, but in the pit of my stomach I wonder if we won't live to regret this. Best of luck in T-Bay.

Here's hoping for a Bishop vs. Lehner rivalry for best goalie in the East for the next 10 years!

Quality player, quality person.

Will root for him throughout his career.

 

[BK201]

He sounded pretty sad in his interviews

I really liked him.

 

[SixthSens]

I really liked him.

Likewise.

As I mentioned in the other thread, he seemed like a really humble guy just from hearing his interviews. I wish him nothing but the best throughout the rest of his career.

In a way, this feels like the Kelly trade all over again

agreed, but i have to say I'm really happy we still have Andy and know it looks like he can get a legit starting job so I am not so sad.

plus he gets to play with some sick offensive talent.

 

[Dionysus]

He was great! Wish him all the best, I think he will do well down in Tampa.
