OT: Let’s Take A Deep Breath And Have A Fun Thread

[CutOnDime97]

Branko Radivojevic was a favorite of mine as a lad

Watched way too many games in the disastrous 06-07 season as a kid just becoming a hardcore hockey fan.

Dmitri Afanasenkov became a favorite of mine after he did this.

How about the 1 month All Star Dom Brown

This is so absurd, within 3 years of that article he was rated the worst defensive left fielder in baseball, and a year later out of the league never to be seen in the MLB again

Yeah but for that one month he was really good.

06-07 was my second year watching the Flyers, good times, lol. I remember them claiming Afanasenkov off waivers right around New Year's Eve, I don't remember a whole lot specifically that he did though.

Couple other names from that time- Petr Nedved and Denis Gauthier- I remember the Flyers trading for both the year before, and as my family had the Bears season tickets then, I remember seeing both play for the Phantoms when they were waived and demoted, lol (think they got waived in different years though).

Mike Rathje, because we didn't follow all the off-ice news back then so while he really retired because of his back issues, to us he more or less seemingly disappeared off the face of the Earth. For years my dad joked that Holmgren must've had him tied up in his basement.

I can't believe it took me this long to think about my boy Chad Larose and that time he stole somebody else's shoes so he could kick Scottie Upshall in the face.

After the Hurricanes won the shootout for a 6-5 win Saturday after 65 minutes of rough-and-tumble hockey, Carolina forward Chad LaRose stood in the hallway between the two dressing rooms looking for Flyers forward Scottie Upshall.
LaRose emerged from the Carolina dressing room furious with Upshall for “dirty” and “personal” things he said on the ice.
“I even put someone else’s shoes on so I can kick him in the face,” LaRose said.

Scottie Upshall

He was involved in some fun goals.

OT winner against Boston shortly after being acquired.

2007 playoffs to win the series against Montreal.

I think he also got one in that wild comeback against Carolina.
