Best "all smoke, no fire" Oilers trade rumor, all-time:
It took me MUCH longer than it should have to remember "Dany Heatly", likely due to the psychic after-effects of this whole sad episode.
IIRC it was Cogs, Pens, Smiddy but Dany was like "wait, what???!" like some hacky 90s comedian?
If the NHL was the Sopranos, Dany Heatly would be AJ (Anthony Junior) Soprano, hand's down.
What current/former NHLer aligns with another Sopranos character?
Not based on looks - but personality
Kevin Bieksa is definitely "big pussy" Salvatore Bonpensiero - capable, but distracted and divided. Doomed. Thwarted. Bitter but futile dreams of a future on the level.
#Sopranos
"My back Tony... My Back!"
Furio Giunta - Maurice Richard
Fearless, professional, passionate, tied to his people but his own man at the same time.
Also, could probably fuck you up
Brad Marchand - Silvio Dante.
Perpetual consigliere to the greats. The ultimate right hand. Capable, intelligent. But also gross.
#Sopranos
Hugh DeAngelis - Dwayne Roloson.
Was still at it when he was old AF.
Old school. Reliable. And original.
Nice generally, but not above telling your to step off when it's warranted.
Loves collectible rifles and plaid.
Jim "Johnny Cakes" Witowski - Nikita Kucherov.
Doing it better than anyone can. We make all our sausages fresh in house, tyvm.
Bravely forging on in true honesty and integrity, even in spite of the haters.
Carmella - Hossa.
Because I love them both
And they were both SUPERSTARS
Paulie Gualtieri - Larry Murphy
Eeeeeey! OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!
