Dude! What are you doing in that uniform? Part III

[RedTheRabbit]

That’s what I thought.

 

[frontsfan2005]

Some players who were on PTO's:

James Neal - Columbus (22-23)

Thomas Hickey - New Jersey Devils (22-23)

Scottie Upshall - Dallas Stars (19-20)

Pius Suter - NY Islanders (18-19)

Jussi Jokinen - Detroit Redwings (18-19)

Martin Havlat - Florida Panthers (15-16)

Derek Roy - Washington Capitals (15-16)

 

[RedTheRabbit]

This is a colourized and enhanced example, but here’s Serge Aubin with the Penguins. He was drafted by them in 1994, and played with the organization from 1995-96 until 1997-98 (picture above is from 1996-97), but never got called up to Pittsburgh’s roster, as he signed with the Avalanche’s then-AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, after getting traded there in 1998, with the 1998-99 season being his first in the NHL.

A couple of Sabres guys that never played a game for them:

Brandon Hagel

JT Compher

 

[ShelbyZ]

Excellent one - Trottier with the Rangers (02-03) - 54 G, 21-26-7, 49 Pts

The collection of players in front of him almost seem fitting for the thread as well...

From L to R: Dixon Ward, Jamie Lundmark and Matthew Barnaby. Not sure who it is on the right sporting the Nike badged Bauer bucket.

 

[RedTheRabbit]

I believe that is Radek Dvorak.

2023 HHOF Class
Henrik Lundqvist - Washington Capitals (20-21) - DNP due to heart condition

Tom Barrasso - Ottawa Senators (99-00) - 7 GP, 3-4-0, 3.16 GAA, 0.879 save % - Playoffs: 6 GP, 2-4, 2.58 GAA, 0.905 save %

Tom Barrasso - Toronto Maple Leafs (01-02) - 4 GP, 2-2-0, 2.74, 0.909 save %

Tom Barrasso - St. Louis Blues (02-03) - 6 GP, 1-4-0, 3.28 GAA, 0.879 save %

Mike Vernon - Florida Panthers (99-00) - 34 GP, 18-13-2, 2.54 GAA, 0.919 save % - Playoffs: 4 GP, 0-4, 3.04 GAA, 0.912 save %

Pierre Turgeon - Colorado Avalanche (05-07) - 79 GP, 20 G, 33 A, 53 PTS - Playoffs: 5 GP, 0 G, 2 A, 2 PTS

 

[RedTheRabbit]

Here are two more headshot examples; Ray Sheppard and Mikhail Shtalenkov - Florida Panthers (99-00)
Ray’s stats: 47 games played, 10 goals, 10 assists, 20 points, 4 PIMs, -4
Mikhail’s stats (with Florida): 15 games played, 8 wins, 4 losses, 2 ties, 0.908 save percentage, 2.31 goals against average, 882 minutes

Neither player suited up for the playoffs, when the Panthers were swept by the eventual Cup winner, the New Jersey Devils.

Some more Players in Training Camp who didn't make the team:
Manny Legace - Vancouver Canucks (2011-12)

Owen Nolan - Vancouver Canucks (2011-12)

Jonathan Cheechoo - Dallas Stars (2010-11)

Kyle Wellwood - Phoenix Coyotes (2010-11)

Dan Cloutier - Detroit Red Wings (2009-10)

Jeff Friesen - San Jose Sharks (2008-09)

Jeff O'Neill - Carolina Hurricanes (2008-09)

Some more Players in Training Camp who didn't make the team:
Manny Legace - Vancouver Canucks (2011-12)

That would be Legace's second round in a Canucks jersey while not seeing any game time.

In September 1999 he was claimed on waivers by the Canucks, spent two weeks with the team, and was claimed by the Red Wings when put up on waivers again.

Not sure if there's photo evidence of him from that era though.

Can't seem to find any photos from 1999 of Legace with Vancouver.

Did find one of him trying out for the Islanders in 2010.

These are some good ones.

Though I will say that there is one particular incident that makes Stefan’s time in Dallas pretty memorable.

 

[RedTheRabbit]

Yep... the empty net miss. That wound up being his defining moment as well.

I was trying to find a playing-days picture of Steve Yzerman and Daryl Sittler together on the Red Wings in 1984-85, but I couldn't. Anyone...?

That club had a lot of very different-generation players togther:
OLD: Sittler, Park , Boldirev
YOUNG: Yzerman, Kocur, Gallant

Couldn't find one with Yzerman and Sittler. Did get one of Yzerman and Park though - dated February 3, 1985. Final score was a 5-5 tie.

I've poked around for this as well.

He dressed as the back up for the Canucks first 3 games in 99/00. I even tried to look for footage of those games and came up empty handed.

Stop the thread, we have a winner. Act before the end of the month and you can buy an official Claude Giroux Colorado Avalanche jersey: 22-23 End of Season
