ClarkyDano23 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 No, there was a player way back in the day that didn't dress up for a team flight or something like that. He was traded like 2 days later after being scratched for a game I think. Nobody knows for sure if this was the reason, but it certainly seemed like it. I read this somewhere... Thinking of Deron Quint? I remember we traded Odelein for him, I think, and then we ditched Quint shortly thereafter(perhaps because he is the aforementioned late player?). Still qualifies as a win, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think Quint had bigger issues, like showing up to practice intoxicated and cursing out the coaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think Quint had bigger issues, like showing up to practice intoxicated and cursing out the coaches There's a great article somewhere about Quint, where he credits Lou for basically saving his life. As for a potential lockout...if they blow another season I think I'm done. I'll always love hockey, but millionaires vs. billionaires battles get old. It gets to a point where I stop caring about who's right or wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was here for like nine days, I never really heard why he got the boot so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Esa Tikkanen maybe? He was here for like nine days, I never really heard why he got the boot so quickly. I believe you're correct. That's the story I remember hearing with Tikkanen, that he didn't dress up to team code for a road trip and was promptly shown the door.
