Player Discussion Bobby Ryan Part VII

[Matsens15]

5+4= 9


Just a guess.

Makes sense.

Bobby already wore 54 in his rookie year in Anaheim as well as in the 2010 Olympic Games!

Never wanna hear about this guy again. One of the most polarizing players we have ever had, and gave us more agony than enjoyment. But we discovered why; I hope his demons behind him, great human being who was just terribly impacted and influenced.

Congratulations on his Masterton Trophy win.


He's been through a lot the the last while.

did he really win over the guy who beat cancer and came back to play in the playoffs in the same year?!

wack

The suspicion is Lehtera gets it next year. Also, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the vote happened before the playoffs.

All the voting are always before the playoff! Except for the Conn Smythe.

The Bobby Ryan story in Detroit carries on much like it did in Ottawa, pre-season and all off ice stories and loved by the media there, will get pretty quiet when the hockey starts and they have start to write about stats lines and impact players

Cripes this seems way over the top.

Dude came in with a great attitude, played well until injuries (and seemingly some addiction issues) took their toll yet stood up and faced everything with class and humility.

His contract wasn't his fault and it never was an issue in the grand scheme.

He also came up huge in our '17 run which will always be a highlight year to me anyway - those playoffs were incredibly exciting.

I wish him well and hope to hear about his success in staying sober and contributing on the ice.

Can we close this thread please. I’m getting PTSD..

What would have been disrespectful is if he would have won over lindblom. but lets not get into the element of choice between having a drinking problem vs getting cancer.

I know you're trying to play up the impact cancer has on peoples lives, but there really is no need to minimize the impact that mental health issues and alcoholism have. Both are very serious and should be treated as such.

I don't mean to but it is the nature of the Masterton. comparing peoples struggles, dumb award.

but yes mental health issues and alcoholism can be a living hell, not to mention fatal in some cases. I'm glad Ryan got the help he needed.

Must not be a lot of people who think it's a "dumb" award. It's given to one person but it doesn't mean other people battles were not an example of perseverance, etc

I'll miss Big Bobby. Now this means the board has to find a new whipping boy.

My money is a running gun battle between White and L. Brown.

Tough for Brown because DJ would actually have to play him

Well usually the whipping boy is the player to plays the worst so lets let the players decide

If Mike Reilly plays a lot my money is on him

Nah he’s too short term. No attachment

If he's playing over guys like Brannstrom, heats gonna come his way.

There will never be another Booby Ryan.

White is a bit young for that but since he was paid right away, he's a good candidate. Zaitsev and Gudbranson (will be used a shutdown D-men) are the 2 running candidates IMO.
