Is there a player you're glad never held the Cup?

[Sids Jockstrap]

Ovechkin and Kuznetsov. Can't stand Kuznetsov and his bird celebrations..

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Definitely Ovechkin.

Although I think he is probably a good guy in a lot of ways, I want to see him retire without team success because I have stated since Day 1 of his career that his type of hockey can never win. That is, playing as a celebrity above playing for a team. I want to be right.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Shea Weber.

Can't let the head smash go.

Who does he think he is? Sidney Crosby???

 

[zizbuka]

That is not remotely what happened. JJ's father (the one who later robbed him blind, it should be noted) didn't want his son to ever play in a small market where he couldn't be a media star (and where he as father could be a major public figure as well) and basically forced JJ to refuse to sign with the Canes, making it quite clear along the way that he would never agree to sign with the Canes. The "he's not ready to leave college yet" bit was simply spin.

Is there a good read for exactly what his dad did? I just can't get my head around a father robbing from his own son.

Oh, and did Dale Hunter ever win the cup? He definitely deserves to forever suffer........ professionally.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

No. That is bad Karma. I wish any player that I don't care for be enlightened, so then he may be worthy to hold the Cup.

 

[Goose]

Fail. Kovalev won the cup in 1994. (You did acknowledge not looking them up though)

He also always showed up in the playoffs.

Yeah, I just remember watching him in Ottawa and shaking my head. If the guy could have put a hammock at centre ice until the puck got out of his own zone he would have. Had no idea he had a cup.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Ryan Kesler

 

[orby]

Avery, Roenick

 

[Ogrezilla]

Dubinsky and Hartnell.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Jeremy Roenick

 

[frankocb]

Either/both of the "Brandon Brothers" (Dubinsky and Prust)...

Dallas Stars' pest Antoine Roussel...

Thankfully Raffi Torres never sniffed the trophy...

Hopefully Lucic never gets close again...major POS

 

[Inkling]

Lindros and Dale Hunter. Roenick only in retrospect, since I've started paying attention to him as a commentator.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Shea Weber.

Can't let the head smash go.

you don't mess with the mountain Man

Actually I think zetty hit him on the boards initially which can be terribly frustrating

 

[psycat]

Lindros
Weber
Renberg

 

[nbwingsfan]

Real glad it's looking like Burrows will never win a cup. Guy has 0 respect for the game.

I would give up one of the Wings cup wins if it meant Cooke would have never won as well.

 

[frankocb]

Renberg

Renberg?? Mikael Renberg?? Former Legion of Doom linemate? Really???

When did he **** in YOUR cornflakes?

 

[johnnybbadd]

For me it was Lindros. I was glad that he was pretty much responsible for turning The Quebec/Colorado franchise into one of the best teams between the 2 lockouts. No one that's never played on NHL ice should ever be worth what Philly payed for him. Forsberg alone made that trade a win for Quebec all by himself.

 

[Number8]

I sincerely hope Mikhail Sergachev signs a 20 year deal with the Habs and never wins a Cup. That would be terrific.

 

[edog37]

Thaaaaaaaat's right, Sheldon...let the hate envelop you...

absolutely. The Flyers failure each year brings a warm feeling to my heart each time....

 

[weastern bias]

Thankfully Raffi Torres never sniffed the trophy...

He probably knows what it smells like, dude lost in 2 SCF game 7s

 

[frankocb]

absolutely. The Flyers failure each year brings a warm feeling to my heart each time....

"Each year"? Ummm sure OK...

These things have a bad habit of turning around. You're team will be down at some point there, my friend...and we'll be back.
