Pat Maroon - One Man Dynasty?

[Three On Zero]

He rides in the backseat not the front. Hell Dan Carcillo has 3 Stanley cup championships so was he a "hell of a hockey player" also? You could probably toss him in the worst players to win multiple cups category.

Maroon and Carcillo aren’t even close to being in the same category

Maroon had 22 in 78 games this year and 29 in 87 games last year so if that is a "hell of a hockey player" you are seriously misguided. That is the definition of riding the coat tails of the skilled players which Carcillo did.

Loved Big Rig in his time with the Oilers.

Great guy and loved in the room.

I’ll never forget this interview when he scored in St. Louis and his son was there to see it.

Have a little guy a bit younger than Maroons son in this video. I can relate to that feeling of love for a child and couldn’t imagine how tough it must have been for him to be apart from him.

This is the kind of thing that makes you want to root for a guy like Maroon.

Not the fastest guy but he plays his butt off in the playoffs (though he can be super lazy in the regular season lol).

Again, Maroon offers more than just on ice production.

He's a great example of how you don't have to be a great player to win a lot of cups.

Not everyone can be a great player, but anyone can be a great teammate and Maroon seems like he is one of the most popular teammates in the league. Glad to see him succeed.

Kind of crazy that like half of Blues fans wanted him gone halfway through the 2018-19 season, and he's been on top of the hockey world ever since.

 

[Frank the Tank]

With Kunitz retired, Maroon joins Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Fleury, Kane, Keith, Toews, and Hjalmarsson as the active leaders for most Stanley Cups.

Has the Petition to rename Telegraph Road to Pat Maroon Road been filed yet?

We hear this about every bottom-sixer who finds himself on great teams. I'm sure he's a good guy to have around, but Tampa doesn't miss a beat without him.

Not likely no, they have too much skill. He’s still a great teammate that offers morale and isn’t afraid to throw his body around. You need that locker room presence

 

[KeyserSoze81]

If you're a team that wants to win, do you sign Taylor Hall or Pat Maroon?

One wins you the draft lottery, one wins you the cup!

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

He's the Robert Horry of the NHL. I love this guy.

Pretty sure he's still succeeding in the best league in hockey.

 

[Oddbob]

Coincidence. McDavid saved his career.

Huh? Won 3 Cups in a row on teams not with McDavid. Not saying it is because of Maroon, but it also isn't because of McDavid.

 

[Oddbob]

He could win 5 cups and still never sniff the HHOF

Heck, he could win 6 Cups, 7 Cups, 8 Cups, and even 9 Cups and still not get in the HHOF.

 

[Nico Hughes]

So much salt, Maroon is one hell of a hockey player/team mate

Crucial to his Cup runs? Not really

good player but Tampa and St Louis win without him

 

[Louie the Blue]

Guess you should spend less time on the Tampa board drooling over a mediocre player at best.

As someone who grew up in St. Louis, I apologize if I appreciate a fellow St. Louis native having success in their career who also was a contributor to a team who I support ending their drought by scoring a goal in Game 7 in a PO game in OT and was apart of the game growing in popularity in the area due to success.

But apparently since he’s a 4th liner, I guess I can’t appreciate that.

 

[ManofSteel55]

There is a heart and soul player a place like Edmonton needs

We know. If there is any current player I would want back that we lost along the way, it wouldn't be Hall, it wouldn't be Eberle, it would be Pat Maroon.

Good thing hockey teams have more than 1 player huh?

 

[Nihiliste]

So insulting another team is your go to deflect move? Maybe Tampa can win another cup in a full NHL season, that would be news huh? Maybe next year Colorado can hide MacKinnon on LTIR all season.

Avs wouldn’t make the playoffs without Mackinnon. They can and should stash EJ’s 6 mil on LTIR though

 

[terranraida]

the ultimate passenger.

Maroon has three cup rings. You have an opinion on a message board.

Try as you might, Maroon still comes out ahead here. Considerably.

Never underestimate the value of the heart and soul guys. Sabres jettisoned a lot of their heart and soul guys and never recovered (among, many, many other issues with the team of course).

 

[abo9]

He's a great example of how you don't have to be a great player to win a lot of cups.

Yep just be at the right p'ace at rhe right moment

oh and sign on a contender. That will do it too

Funny thing is i never discounted that he has 3 Stanley cup rings but more so that he is a "Hell of a hockey player" statement that was made. Being a good character guy who boosts moral does not translate to being a great player.

 

[JoVel]

I get people being bitter at a guy like Kucherov but sone of you here are actively trying to trash talk Maroon. a f***ing 4th liner is rattling people, it's glorious. Some of you should go outside sometimes.

 

[Brownies]

I have no ill will towards Tampa just funny to hear people call Pat f'in Maroon a "Hell of a hockey player" when all he has brought to any of the teams he has been on that won the cup was moral support. I mean a support dog could of done the same thing.

The deeper you go in the playoffs, the likelier you get benched if you bring nothing. There's a gap between a "hell of a hockey player" and somebody just there for morale support.
