RIP Red Kelly

[John B. Foster]

 

[Jake from State Farm]

I'm glad the Wings finally did the right thing, albeit about 40 years late, and retired his number this year

 

[Huggy]

For three years during the time he played for the Leafs he was also a member of the Canadian parliament. Just think about that.

 

[MTM]

He was the first coach of the Los Angeles Kings and took them to the playoffs twice and a semifinals, albeit in the expansion division.

 

[Jake from State Farm]

I never saw Kelly play for the Wings
When I started watching hockey he was an All-Star center in Toronto
I know Britt Burns switched back and forth and Fedorov played defense once in a while but I can’t think of a Hall of Famer who had a mid career position change like that and who was great at both positions

Robin Yount!

Robin Yount!

Ernie Banks.

 

[Neutral Corner]

Craig Biggio was an All-Star at both 2B and C.

Why did they take so long?

 

[Jake from State Farm]

Craig Biggio was an All-Star at both 2B and C.

I meant hockey
I should have made that clear

 

[Jake from State Farm]

Why did they take so long?

He was sent away by Jack Adams but I think he just slipped through the cracks
People my age thought of him as a Maple Leaf
Next one in the rafters should be Fedorov but there's talk that won't happen as long as Marian Ilitch is alive
That might change if Stevie Y brings Fedorov back into the organization

 

[Neutral Corner]

I meant hockey
I should have made that clear

I kinda figured that... but that went up after Robin Yount and Ernie Banks, so I went with it.

Comes to hockey I got nuthin'. Not my bag.

 

[Sea Bass]

Bobby Orr used to change positions two or three times in the same shift.

 

[cyclingwriter2]

Maybe messier? Was an all-star left winner early in his career before switching to center.
