Irony Jerseys

[re-ac-tor]

Joe Posnanski had a nice article on MLB.com called irony jerseys.

Basically players who were much more famous for being with one or two teams for a long time and then ending their career with a cup of coffee with another team that you can barely remember, or a mid career cameo that lasted only a few games.

Obviously Gretzky and Brodeur as Blues would count.

Here are a few I can think of

Grant Fuhr-Flames and Kings
Ed Belfour-Sharks and Panthers
Jari Kurri-Colorado and the Rangers
Steve Shutt-Kings


You get the idea...so who else can you think of?


My best,

Not sure if this would count because I'm pretty sure it was more than a few games but Forsberg with Nashville/Philly.

To me he'll always be an Av

There is a few players like that, one of the most famous Bobby Orr with the Chicago Blackhawks


Serge Savard Winnipeg Jets
Rogatien Vachon Boston Bruins
Doug Harvey New York Rangers

A few Leafs:

Ron Francis
Alexander Mogilny
Eric Lindros
Joe Neiwendyk
Brian Leetch


Other players with short stints on teams: Terry Sawchuk (Kings, Bruins, and Rangers), Ed Belfour (Panthers), Dominik Hasek (Sens), Bill Ranford (32 games in Tampa, 4 in Detroit), Marian Hossa (Detroit & Pittsburgh), Jaromir Jagr (Boston, Dallas, Philly)

A lot more will probably come to mind.

JS Giguere started with the Whalers

Doug Gilmour with the Habs....and the Sabres....and the Hawks....and the Devils.

As for Linden^^^^I think his time with Washington is the least memorable.

Wendel Clark with the Islanders

Don't forget about Nordiques, Tampa, Detroit and Chicago???!! :speechless:

Leetch with Boston too (Leafs mentioned above).
