anyways...saw this on defending big D and though hey lets have a ducks one...

here was there criteria:

The one constant in hockey (besides Gary Bettman's head swaying back and forth like a bobble-head when he speaks publicly) is expectations. Every player comes into a new hockey season with a set of expectations on him and most of the time they are higher than maybe they should be - even players like Alex Ovechkin's and Sidney Crosby's abilities are publicly questioned if they even dare go into a scoring slump of more than a few games. Most of the time these expectations fans, media, coaches and even fellow players alike have are based on things such as new contracts awarded, or a trade that sent away a current favorite player, or a great first season by said player.

Sadly, sometimes players fail to live up to expectations placed upon them - or in some cases only get so far but don't really fulfill all the promise most of us thought they had. Jonathan Cheechoo who will be in Stars training camp less than two weeks from today is a great example of a player who failed to live up to the hype. This week's list is inspired by that fact and focuses on five former Dallas Stars who came to the team with all kinds of hopes and promise, but like a ~~Bruins~~ sharks choke job in the playoffs, ended up in nothing but heartbreak and disappointment.

i made one edit above...can u find it?

“Fedorov is awesome” is an universal asnwer to everything? ;)

there are 80997 Antti in Finland and 28217 Niemi so it’s really not that common. most common finnish last names end with “nen”

Haha, very cool — I did swoop in and clean up some of those weird SBN-added hyperlinks. Try to mention Ovechkin once in passing and the blogger tools assume that it’s a main focus of the piece.

Maybe I’d add Matt Cullen to the honorable mentions — he really was supposed to pan out to be so much more, and we waited and waited. Not a bad guy or anything, but never the Matt Cullen we were told he would be.

Haha, that’s rough, dude. There may have been a round-about way where you could have constructed thoughts out of various copy-and-pastes, but I wouldn’t wish that workload on anybody.

Welcome back to the land of the speaking.

haha you have no fucking idea how good I got at copy and pasting and using my history button to be able to still go to sites I like that I hadn’t bookmarked.

In fact everyone should try it for a day.

I declare this day National Keyboard Appreciation Day.

Well, you could argue that he actulaly lived up to expectations. I mean seriuosly, did anyone except for Burke think he would actually be decent?

That is an excellent point.

I looked in the archive to find where I had been excited about Bert, and really it’s not there for me either. Rather, I was pissed off that the Ducks were pressuring Selanne & Niedermayer into retiring.

I remember thinking something along the lines of “effing Burke is paying him back with our budget.”

I hated Bertuzzi before he even got here I’m sure in part because of that. And everything else.

Fuck that criminal. Should have been banned for life.

Even though he’s mostly useless now, he’s still one of my most hated players on the Scum.

I don’t know why an adult single male can’t go to the dog park and hang out without people calling him some kind of pervert. And then when he takes off his pants all of a sudden he’s a psycho. I mean there’s clearly a stain on them, I’m supposed to just walk around like that?!?!?!?

It’s sexist. If a guy takes off his pants, he’s a psycho. If a girl does it, suddenly she’s popular.

I would add:

Chad Kilger

But yeah Bertuzzi all day long.

by Mike in OC on Sep 8, 2010 4:57 PM PDT reply actions

Bertuzzi may have sucked the life out of Getzlaf and Perry, but his on ice performance wasn’t horrid. It was the ridiculous contract Burke gifted him that made it so bad.

Fuck Friesen. Fuck that f150 bro-mobile driving, gay hitler mustache wearing, deltaco hitting douche nozzle.
