Re: Beat Writers Pick Their Team's All-Time Villain
I've always harbored a grudge against Gino Odjick for falling on Shanahan and breaking his ankle in his last game as a Blue. I know it all worked out with Pronger, but if I could clone a former player and put him back on the team, it would be 1993-94 Brendan Shanahan.

Casey was not an issue whatsoever in that series. He was awesome.sdaltons wrote: ↑25 Jul 2026 12:31 pmCasey did play well but I think that whole series goes differently with Fuhr outnetboy65 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2026 12:26 pmThat was obviously an unfortunate goal, but let’s not forget two things.

The Franchise very likely would have raised their first Cup 30 years sooner.
A few things to consider on the goal..
Murray Baron was screening Casey. The puck came out of his feet and Casey didn't pick it up immediately.
Secondly, the only thing that would have been different with Fuhr, was the fact that he caught with his right hand.

High glove side is a weak spot for most goalies and Fuhr would have blockered it off, most likely.bud white wrote: ↑27 Jul 2026 20:12 pmCasey was not an issue whatsoever in that series.

I won't forgive Gretzky for acting like the second OT in a Game that likely decided the Cup Winner was a lark.
Every time I watch that- short- second OT I cut the Evil Keenan some slack for playing hardball with him.
