Patrick Thoresen Tribute Thread

[anofsti]

I think he deserves a little thread to commemorate his time in the KHL, now that he leaves for the SHL and Djurgården.


Merits:
2 time Gargarin Cup winner
#5 overall points by any player in KHL history
#1 overall points by non-Russian player in KHL history
#1 in my heart
#2 in points in the 2012 WC [playing on Team Norway(!)]
#1 lushest playoff beard

I've only watched a game here and there, but I've tried to watch most highlights the past few years, and reading google translated Russian pages are quite difficult


edit: MODS, feel free to change the title. I realize it might scare a few people thinking he's passed away. Not intended

Tribute would be the word you're looking for.

Yup, clicked on this to see if he died

no doubt... I was sitting mouth agape and clicked on the thread.. glad to hear he is still alive

 

[ForumNamePending]

I could see why some would read the title and think that he died, but I knew better...

If that slapshot in the balls didn't kill him I'm pretty sure nothing will.

HOLY crap , common guys, this isn't funny. Change the title. Clicked on it and the first thing I read was , '#1 in my heart'' which made it even scarier haha

Ditto

Yeah, Thoresen was great in the league. And he played good the last playoffs as well, unlike Crvenka and other SKA foreigners. Sweden league gets a very good player. And as far as I understand, his departing isn't about money. Of course Sweden is much closer by lifestyle to Norway than Russia, even if St. Petersburg is a great city.

The thread name is good. It's called click journalism.

Thorensen was great in SKA. Sad to see him retiring from KHL level. Time to go back home I guess.

Damn OP, you must have stolen this from the "Paul Coffey memorial trophy" thread.

You can edit the thread title by going "edit" and then "go advanced". It's worth it, Thorensen is great player in KHL and for Norwegian hockey program.

Or he can just double click on the main KHL page next to the thread title.

No worries... and yes, reports of Thoresens' demise as the title implies are fortunately premature ... fixed.

It weren't intentional

I didn't know that existed

More like 2 am, not exactly sober style...

If I'd known, I would have changed it in a heart beat

Great player, it's sad he's leaving the league.

 

[No1Joker]

Awesome player. One of the best players outside NHL past 5-8years

 

[TheSanny]

Great player. Should've tried to stay in the NHL though. During his KHL prime he could easily been a 2C on an average team.

 

[Salavat Yulaev]

Great player! I think he had best results when he played with Radulov.
