The "George" Downie Thread

[S E P H]

Wanted to make a thread for Downie because the other one is reaching 1,000 posts.

Badass.
Acquired from Tampa Bay for Kyle Quincey who flipped him to Detroit for a 1st in 2012.

Greg has been great especially the way he tries to jump in whenever something happens to Vikingskog.

Have to give that to Mueller until Blake decided to end his season.

I think he meant this year...

Downie's definitely a looney.

It wasn't a deadline deal anyway.

on my behalf if it is George but I'm not sure.

 

[VLoo]

I find it funny if it is Greg, because that's actually his brother's name.

This. It was definitely George.

 

[Flanagan]

This. It was definitely George.

The only reason I remember is because I was calling him Furious George

I feel like an idiot.

I think the impact of this trade will be a lot like the Konowalchuk trade.

They slightly different players, and Kono's trade was a steal in terms of value, but I think Downie will be that heart and soul energy guy, that can mix it up and score in a top line role, like Kono was.

He already has great chemistry with Radar and Lando, and I really feel like he'd have great chemsitry with Stastny's style. Plus he's played with Duchene internationally before, and I believe I heard they played well. He'll fit in where ever he plays on this team, and be very effective and important to this team's success for a long time.

I just hope he can stay healthy to maximize his impact.

Thanks - I'll close that one and direct people here.

We all sometimes have too much 3 penis wine sometimes.

Best passer on the team, even better than Paul Stastny. Steve Downie's patience with the puck is Peter Forsberg-esque, and he always manages to complete his passes through traffic.

Easy to see why he had 12 assists last post season, despite assisting on only one Steven Stamkos goal.
