Let's Forget Some Guys

A face only a mother could love once a paper bag is put over it.

Or @Scandale du Jour

easy!- ,l still haven't completely gotten over that one.

Ryan Whitney, Colby Armstrong

Army was a decent player though Whitney was a bust.

Whitney was disappointing because he was 10 ply. I wouldn't say he was a total bust. Though for 5 OA you'd like to do a bit better, of course.

Armstrong was also a first rounder, of course. 21st overall. You might be interested to know that Whiney actually has more points as a defenseman (50 more to be exact) than Armstrong does as a forward over the course of roughly the same amount of games. Whitney also has at least a partial excuse of having what turned out to be career-shortening injury issues. Armstrong's best season was 22g-18a-40p... for the Thrashers.

Must not have seen Whitney in his prime.

Not a fan of Armstrong’s cheapshots behind the net either.

I honestly never had much use for Armstrong. Everyone thought it was cute that they attached him to his bestie or whatever. I thought it was a huge waste of Crosby's talent.

That was probably my favorite part of his game. Plus he is hilarious.

Most of his “game” was Crosby banking goals in off of him

Weird how he hit a career high in goals in Atlanta then eh?

Him, Reasoner and Peverley were a pretty dope third line for the Thrashers.

Kovalchuk probably banked them off him

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I DO like Armstrong much more as a personality and commentator.

Kovalchuk and Colby played the same position.

 

[dogthateats]

Kovalchuk and Colby played the same position.

I don’t actually believe Armstrong’s only goals were scored from better players banking shots off of him, but I thought he was RW and Kovalchuk LW.

You're right. I was thinking Kovalchuk was a RW because of his time in Jersey.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I also remember when there were a concerning amount of people, Penguins fans included, that said Crosby was gonna throw a fit and demand a trade to Montreal after they shipped Army off.

Fun times.

I did, he had one move....the backdoor pass. Definitely wasn't worth a 1st round pick

why wouldn't you be?

 

[dogthateats]

I don’t like trying to intentionally injure someone.

I think they were legal at the time. For a 21st I always thought we could have done better but it was a pretty crappy draft after 21. Our best move would have been to draft David Steckel, who went at 30, which Presumably would have benefited 87’s career more than playing with Army.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

"Hey guys, remember when I was suppose to be what Tom Wilson currently is?"

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Robert Dome. I was at that draft.

Actually, other than him being drafted in the first round I remember absolutely nothing about him. What type of player was he supposed to be?

Trying to change history never works.

If Steckel isn't the one who hits Sid like that in the Outdoor game, it would have been someone else, but it would have happened the exact same way.

It's a fixed point in history. Time Travel can't stop it.

Blew the dust off this account to point out no Billy Tibetts or Milan Kraft mentions.
