Eric Gryba Appreciation Thread

[Vesa Awesaka]

He played top pairing for us. He was i believe an AHL allstar. He hit Eller and now Canadien and Senators fans fight about Karlsson and Subban



Unfortunate the biggest hit of his career and most memorable moment was an injury to another player




Good luck in Edmonton Gryba...You're going to need it

Remember him in his rookie year playing 20 minutes a night he looked good and I was so high on him being a #3/4 then the Eller hit happened and he ruined his game. Hopefully he finds himself in Edmonton.

 

[Beville]

And this beard? #LifeGoals

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Thanks for destroying Eller, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[stempniaksen]

Edmonton is a great fit, imo. He's exactly the kind of guy they need. I fully anticipate him playing well enough to play significant games for them, just no room on Ottawa's defence (especially next to a Cowen or Boro).

Good luck Grybs!

 

[Deku]

I will miss his luscious beard.

 

[Othello*]

I will miss the Gryba from the lockout.

 

[BonkTastic]

We'll always have Player #61.

 

[topshelf15]

A nothing pick we developed into a serviceable nhl defender.We have a pretty good system

 

[pepty]

Best of luck to him. His hit on Eller discombobulated the Habs and was a turning point in that series.

The Ottawa area waterfowl can give a sigh of relief but the ones in Alberta better watch out.

 

[King Karlsson]

Wish we had gotten rid of Boro instead of Gryba but we'll never do that since Boro is a "hometown kid"

 

[Mr Invidious]

I appreciate that he will never wear a Sens jersey ever again.

Hallelujah.

Boro will likely be better. Boro is already one of our best defensemen at defense. His corsi numbers overall look poor because offensively he doesnt do much. He rarely shoots the puck compared to gryba. Im sure as boro gets more comfortable he'll start shooting more and do somethings more offensively

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

In his rookie year here he played top pairing minutes with Methot and didn't miss a stride. Then he won us MTL series by taking out their best player down the stretch.

Beast. Thank you Eric.

 

[BigBush*]

Man did this guy do a good job of making other teams hate him.

Hopefully Hall isn't still mad at Gryba for that knee on knee that took Hall out for a month a few years ago.

Then he won us MTL series by taking out their best player down the stretch.

Beast. Thank you Eric.

He also lost us that last series against Montreal by flubbing on a clearing in overtime and handing it right over onto a Montreal stick for a goal.

Thanks for nothing Eric.

I agree Murray's insistence on drafting "hometown kids" is a bit much at times but Boro's a solid player for us. He's nasty as hell and he's the only guy outside of Methot that actually hammers guys consistently out there compared to guys like Gryba and COwen who barely do it anymore. He's like the Chris Neil of our defense

 

[Senateurs]

good dressing room guy too. He was very close to the guys that won the Calder in Bingo. He will be missed.

 

[MiscBrah]

Hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave.



All the best Gryba

 

[Xamar*]

Hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave.



All the best Gryba

You staring at his butt ??

 

[Ttracer*]

Loved him as a Senator, now I hope Neil punches his face in next time OTT plays Edmonton

Thanks for the memories

i always liked how every once in a while he'd decide "screw it, i want to be a high skill puck moving defenseman". some games it worked and he would make short dangerous passes that get us out of our end and look pretty, other games it wouldn't work and end in amazing scoring chances for the other team. yes, his puck mover mode would last entire games so he'd be making sick short passes all game or handing the other team scoring chances all game.

"LOL Gryba thinks hes Karlsson"

 

[God Says No]

Damn, he was a serviceable 6/7. I bet people will not appreciate him till they realize what they lost. Who's going to play the right side now?

Atm Boro or Cowen. Maybe we re-sign Wideman though
