Tangentially... who's the worst player to win the cup? In recent memory I'm going with Sean Avery and Matt Cooke.

can u tell me how did they use sarge ?
i just think the role he had (top4) was to much for him. he actually never really tried to adapt for example develop an more aggressive backcheck game. or maybe he tried we dont know, anyway the major blame goes to gm and coaches for not intervene earlier... u all know sarges passiveness destroyed his partners.
the dialoge with him must went like this
coach: jeff u had a great season (50+/-)we believe in u and want to give u a chance in the top 4.
jeff:k
coach: jeff i read on hfboards that u dont backceck, can u do that pls.
jeff: nope
coach: when green gets healthy u are going to get scratched
jeff: ok
coach: our defense is banged up now, we promote u to top pair but try to clear some dump ins now.
jeff: nope, trade me.

Green for Selke
I'm betting Schultz gets his name on the cup. Sutter's a straight shooter and no doubt will put his two cents in if it comes down to it.
Who'd of thunk it? Schultz with a Stanley cup ring and a +55 on his resume. Hall of Fame too?

Happy now?
Who cares?
Fringe NHLers get to lift the Cup every year. It's not like he was one that got away or provided any sort of positive contribution toward the win.

Sorry, he was GREAT in the Ducks series.
The team will petition his name on the Cup, he has earned it!

Not completely a passenger.
He did his part, what was asked of him, as a member of the team that won the Stanley Cup. Not his fault that they didn't use him more but when called upon and needed during the Anaheim series he was there.
He just has lucky horseshoes. Congrats to Schultz.
He's going to get a pretty fancy ring to flash for all eternity and most general public won't know or care how much of a role he played. Kind of like Subban winning Gold at the Olympics. It's on the record books. +50 too.
Actually in some discussion I was listening to this morning they mentioned Shultz and said that coaches and team were really thankful and impressed with what he did for them and felt that he was actually key in contributing to their getting to where they did.
I'm happy for the guy. He paid his dues this year in the AHL but when he was asked, he stepped up, did what they needed him to do and contributed. The guy could have easily packed it in and not want to play in the minors all year, but he stuck with it and look where it got him.
