Meh Coyote you liked

[Jormungandr]

Juha Ylonen back in the day. Nick Cousins, Brad Richardson, Vern Fiddler, and Boyd Gordon more recently. I have a soft spot for good 4th line grinders.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Victor Tikonov. I had such high hopes.

 

[Ruthervin]

Oleg Tverdosky

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Ladislav Nagy anyone?

 

[SniperHF]

Ladislav Nagy anyone?

Nagy was PPG in the dead puck era over parts of two season sandwiching the lockout. If he hadn't been so plagued with injuries he might have been considered pushing fringe elite territory. Too good to be meh.

I'm thinking meh guys are like Travis Roche or Kevin Porter.

 

[LosPollosHermanos]

I really liked Derek Morris

 

[Heldig]

I really liked Derek Morris

Definitely not a "meh" player.

One name that came to mind was Ramzi Abid. Looked him up and was surprised he only played 30 games for the Coyotes.

 

[Jamieh]

Haha, yeah, Boyd Gordon doing the Black Knight scene from Monty Python ("for the love of God let him get to the bench!")

Best thing about Jyrki Lumme was listening to a guy I carpooled with from Newfoundland, of all places, that always pronounced it "Jerky Lum" on purpose. (Also called Bobby Smith "the man with the cat on his head" for his toupee)

Hey that's my homeland.

 

[Prarievarg]

Korpikoski is the first that comes to mind. Martinook a more recent one

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

First to my mind was Prucha. Dude got himself in position to score so many times but just seemed to have such bad luck with finishing.

 

[BigJCaRoach]

But when he could finish, man what beauty

 

[MIGs Dog]

I really liked Derek Morris

Me too. Was he "meh?"

But when he could finish, man what beauty

Greatest Czech line ever!!

 

[AZviaNJ]

This is a David Moss thread, right?

 

[Jamieh]

This is a David Moss thread, right?

Hahaha can't say I've ever read about anyone "liking" David Moss

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Andy Miele

 

[Summer Rose]

Does Branko Radivojevic count? I thought he had a silly name.

 

[RemoAZ]

Winnik was someone I always rooted for. My memory was more personal though because every time he did something good my buddy I went to the games with would say "the first three letters of that guy's name spells victory!". That may have been more fun after a few drinks though.

 

[Dead Coyote]

I really liked Burmistrov, the way he protected the puck reminded me of Jagr and he would skate circles around with it. He didn't do much else, but I always kept thinking that if we had someone else with him he could pass too he'd be great lol

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Oleg Saprykin! Jeff Taffe!

 

[Schemp]

Craig Janney
I moved back to AZ from Enfield CT in 96
Remember driving on route 5 into Enfield and seeing the welcome sign and it added "home of Craig Janney of the Boston Bruins", little outdated at that time. My beloved Whalers moved to NC so I switched loyalties.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Oleg Saprykin!

Yes, I have no other reason to remember these 3 people other than the OMG line were Oleg Saprykin, Mike Zigomanis, and Georges Laraque

 

[British yote]

Don’t know if it counts but I used to watch David rundblads highlights from Sweden and think he was going to break through at some point and be an offensive wiz.

Loved perlini too, from memory his draft plus one year for the ice dogs wasnt great but That his first big nhl season had me thinking he was going to develop in to a 30 goal scoring big winger with insane speed.

Also like henrik Samuelson.

Interesting fact Craig weller played in the uk after his nhl career and put up 51 points in 39 games as a defender. I remember watching him and he was just so much better than anyone else around

 

[Mosby]

Mark Arcobello made some trash hockey decently watchable.

 

[Sinurgy]

Trevor Letowski...I liked when they used to play the "My name is kiiiiiiiiiid...." clip at the games whenever he'd do something noteworthy. He did have a pretty good rookie year but unfortunately that ended up being his peak season, had decidedly "meh" career after that.

 

[Jormungandr]

I really liked Burmistrov, the way he protected the puck reminded me of Jagr and he would skate circles around with it. He didn't do much else, but I always kept thinking that if we had someone else with him he could pass too he'd be great lol

Yup. This is the one I forgot. Burmistrov played amazing for us. I was actually pretty pissed we didn’t bring him back. Especially since we were hurting for centers.
