“I have been blessed to play for 16 years in the NHL; it has been an amazing ride,” St. Louis Thursday. “I would like to thank the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers organizations and owners for providing me the opportunity to play the sport I love for so many years.

St. Louis won the Art Ross Trophy, Lester B. Pearson Award and Hart Memorial Trophy in 2004 and also won the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning that same year. He is also the winner of an additional Art Ross Trophy and three Lady Byng Memorial Trophies. He was named a Second-Team NHL All-Star on four occasions.

He totaled 391 goals and 642 assists for 1,033 points in 1134 regular season games.

The Laval, Quebec native spent sixteen seasons in the NHL playing for the Calgary Flames, Lightning and the Rangers . He was also played in seven NHL All Star Games.

St. Louis also represented Canada multiple times, winning a 2014 Olympic gold along with winning the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and earning two IIHF World Championship s

^this is new and exciting

Marty St. Louis won me my first hockey pool. Drafted him in the 8th round. Everyone was like WTF who is that guy? He had like 30 points in 50 games the year before. He was puny. It was a long shot, dark horse.

2003-04. Goes HAM. Wins the Hart, Art Ross, Pearson, and a Cup.

And the hockey pool conversations begin :troll:

Who did you draft in the following round?

Who were the 7 players you picked before him? What was the name of the hockey pool? How many people entered? Was it a work pool? What was the grand prize? Why did you decide to draft him? Were there any girls that took part in this hockey pool? Did they lift?

Try reading Bobby Ackles' autobio sometime.

Our saviour in net! Canucks invited 6-foot-9 goalie John McLean to prospects camp

So... Like... Does he do Hasek or CuJo style saves?

Because that would be AMAZING.

NCAA Division III :heckno:

Can this John McLean make saves like Kirk McLean? :troll:

Best save ever by a Canucks goalie!

Wow due to his height, John McLean makes the net look small!

Why would we want a goalie that tall? Seems like it would be a bit of a detriment if anything past a certain height.

Average stats, DivIII, and overly tall to be quick.

forehand backhand five hole that 6'9 goalie all day lol

Tall goalies do have an advantage. Size can compensate for mistakes, and height allows you to play deeper in the net, but you still need skill to play the game well. I guess this guy is just very mediocre to be that big and not good.

where's your victory?

holy fuk - 6'9, 205lbs

mirin macros

he's making all kinds of gainsssss
