Say What? What The Fans Are Saying About Adam! |
 |
Hockey
is a great sport. As far as the fans go, there are bandwagoners and
then there are die-hards. If you're in-between, you have a little problem...the
bandwagoners might cheer you on while the die-hards'll scoff at you.
My point is, before someone posts, they should make sure they know what
they're posting about! Since May, I've read some pretty colorful things
about Adam. :)
I think you'll all agree. Adam, I'd say you're well-respected!

Thread: Deadmarsh Has Really Improved
"Not saying that he was bad last year, but having a healthy hand
and knowing his teammates a little better has really stepped up his
game. He was never coasting as i noticed and continued to get hard hits.
He may not have gotten a goal today, but he's tied for first with Steve-o
with 6. This guy has so much energy and determination. I think he could
be the captain in a few years, but his age is holding him from it at
this point. That's another thing... he's a VETERAN at the age of 25
(this is either his 7th or 8th season). Mind boggling.
After reading the article about him in the program today, i left all
my thoughts about him not really likeing LA at the rink. He's got a
home and his family healthy and can now think of the benifets of living
here. It also sounds like he gets along with everyone, even though he
doesn't talk much.
I hope we can keep him for a looooooong time."
~BDTR~
"oh man... just think about what deadmarsh is gonna do when hes
100%!
and i believe deadmarsh really does like los angeles, or else he wouldn't
have moved here.
Remember his face during the playoffs last year when he scored on osgood?
I dont think I've ever seen him happier."
~Net Minder~
"deader is a fun player to watch. the guy is just a fearless checker
and he keeps his feet moving the whole shift. the kings play their best
when they get guys that drive to the net consistantly and both deader
and heinze make opposing goalies uncomfortable. nice to see him scoring
again. "
~Hooligan~
"Man can't say enough about the guy. He is a gritty player. The
best thing about him is that he plays like that every single game, Injured
or not."

"Adam DeadMarsh did say at one time last season that he REALLY
LOVES LA, well the FANS that is, which is EVEN BETTER. So he has to
love our team now."
~DeadMarshMellow28~
"When I went to go see the Kings play an exhibition match in Las
Vegas, I saw Deadmarsh walking around the casino and my brother said
"Hey Deadmarsh, the Stanley Cup is ours this year!" Deadmarsh
stopped walking turned around and said "F-ing right." Couldn't
have put it better myself.
DEADMARSH IS THE MAN"
~Mongloid~
(18/28 QOTW for 11/5)
"From what I have seen there is no one better than Deadmarsh on
the ice. He does everything that you could ask for, he crashes the net,
he checks, he shoots, and he is scoring. He is a spitfire on and off
the ice. He gets the team fired up and what's better? He HATES losing.
Any good hockey player should, but, he REALLY HATES losing. He throws
himself all over the ice and never backs down from a challenge or a
fight. I respect the guy, and I don't care if he hasn't been on the
team for over a season yet, or that he's only 26, the man deserves to
be Captain. I'm sorry Matty, but, he deserves to wear the C he wants
to win and does whatever it takes. But, that's just my opinion, I could
be wrong."
~CaptainHairdo~
"Yeah, I agree with all that a healthier Deadmarsh is certainly
a force to be reckoned with. I can't believe, however, that anyone would
think LA's a better place to live in than Colorado, but that's from
me, a guy born and raised in Mt. Baldy! I'd wager that Deadmarsh moved
his family out here because they have new twins, and that way they can
be together.
Deadmarsh is by far becoming my favorite player, and as the team gels,
(ie. Deader-Bednar/ Deader-Heinze/ Deader-Allison/ Allison-Palffy or
what have you) this TEAM will be a force!"
~RoxnH20~
"Not too much of a question of where I stand on this issue. He's
by far the best and most solid player that we have now, and that we've
ever had in my short 5 years as a hockey fan.
Is there any question of why I chose him to be my handle? The guy is
awesome! (just had to get that out of my system.)"

"I
was at the game last night and the crowd was unbelievable. For the first
time all season, they actually broke into spontaneous cheering, ovations,
and even standing o's without being prompted by the big screen and for
things other than just goals. After the game, during the handshake,
Miller
and Deader were last in the Kings' line. When Forsberg and Deadmarsh
hugged, my wife cried. Roy and Podein also hugged Deadmarsh. After Deader
went through the line, as he skated off the ice he raised his stick
to the
crowd. Although they were still on their feet and cheering for the end
of
the game and series, the crowd volume raised several notches for Deadmarsh.
He is obviously still in the hearts of Av fans, unlike Mr. Blake there
in LA
(and I know the circumstances are completely different)."

Starting

"Need honest opinions on Mr. Deadmarsh for scrapbook for my son.
Please don't let this loss to Dallas influence your opinions! Thanks!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adam Deadmarsh is a high quality player. He doesnt get the accolades
that Forsberg and Sakic get, he is a bit of a quiet acheiver but he
is certainly amongst the top players in the league. He has a grin on
his face the whole time, as if he's smiling at other players when he
runs them over to say "oh did I do that?"
~James Cameron~
"Deader is definitly a rising star. He's drifted a bit out of the
limelight as his role as an Av has changed. Early he was counted on
as a scoring third liner, and filled in well for Forsberg and Sakic
when they
had extended absences due to injury. Now he's shifted to a solid grinder
and screener. A much less glorified position, but important none-the-
less. Personally I believe he's got the hands to play the more finesse
game, but his big strength lies in the grit he displays diging the puck
out of the cornor, and parking firmly at the top of the crease. Pretty
good speed, and pretty good defensive skills. As with most of the Avs,
versitility is keyword."
~Todd Magda~

When we
heard about the neck strain, there was a quote about Adam being a warrior
by Jim Fox:

From Leenay
on the site yahoogroup about Adam:
"Adam in particular always looks like he's just having a
blast. You can see it, watching him, you know he loves what he's
doing. He plays with all of his heart and soul every time he's on
the ice, whether it means scoring a goal or making a check, and
that's the coolest thing about him."

all I have to say)"
~Fieldy03~
"C - Allison
A - Deadmarsh
A - Norstrom
A - Laperriere
(We can do three alternates, can't we?)
Obviously, we can't take the C away from Matty without him losing face,
but let's be real here- it hurt him last season. Maybe it's just coincidence,
but I think Matty had a bad season and it was his first season as captain.
Sure, he is probably the hardest working King (him and Deader), but
that doesn't mean that he can necessarily "handle" the pressure
of being captain. It obviously distracted him from his game (IMO).
I would make Deadmarsh captain, but again- I think he would take it
much too seriously and that it would affect his game. I think Jason
is the type of guy that would be effective, yet not let it affect him.
Lappy seems to be the loudest voice in the locker room and the "motivator"
and he very much deserves an "A" also."
~Puckrogue~
"These are my thoughts too. I think Allison should be the captian.
Either way, the four of Norstrom, Allison, Deadmarsh and Laperriere
should be the leaders, IMO.
Pbcbbc, in response to the post aboveIn my opinion it is great to see
all of the "character" guys that DT has given AM to work with.
Miko, Lappy, Allison, Deadmarsh, Ebell, Chartrand and in my opinion
given time Cammy are all very good character guys and they are all capable
of leading the team.

"Seniority often plays a large part in determining who gets the
"A" or "C".. also, once a player has a letter, he
USUALLY keeps it for as long as he is on the team (Not always, but most
of the time). Thus, Lappy would never lose his "A" to Deader
or Allison, even if they also deserve an "A".
I wonder if Deader will get it over Allison based on him being with
the team longer.
If I were AM, I'd suprise everyone and give it to Palffy. Deader and
Allison have obviously been two of our leaders without having letters.
Palffy has earned it, in my opinion, and when Smoke/Schneider leave,
Deader and Allison can get their "A"s. Until then, I'd let
them continue to lead in the manner that they have, and reward Ziggy
with the "A" for his hard work. It may effect him in a positive
way and cause him to work even harder.
Allison and Deader don't strike me as guys who need to extra motivation
or worry about things like a letter on their sweater. They will lead
anyways, so it may as well go to Palffy to see what impact it can have
on him."

"I don't think that the C should be taken away from Matty. He hasn't
done anything to deserve to have it taken away from him, but since this
post is actually asking who should wear the A's then I will go with:
Deadmarsh
Allison
I actually liked Murray's style of rotating the A amongst several different

only going to give it to 2 people, then I go with those 2."

Thread:
Tkachuk Versus Deadmarsh
Started by Puckrogue
"Keith Tkachuk versus Adam Deadmarsh.
For those of you that would base your decision on statistics, then here
you go-
Tkachuk:
Regular season- 725 GP, 367G, 339A, 706P and 1639PM.
Playoffs- 69GP, 26G, 21A, 47P and 138PM.
Regular season- 0.97 PPG
Playoffs- 0.68 PPG
Deadmarsh:
Regular season- 547GP, 171G, 185A, 356P and 798PM.
Playoffs- 105GP, 26G, 40A, 66P and 100PM.
Regular season- 0.65 PPG
Playoffs- 0.62 PPG
I guess Tkachuk is the winner hands down, no?
I think that their styles on the ice are somewhat similar. They are
both big and strong (Tkachuk moreso). They both skate well. They both
have good shots (Tkachuk moreso). They are neither particularly "creative"
on the ice (assist-wise). Deadmarsh works better along the boards and
Keith is better in front of the net. Defensively- I think Deadmarsh
is better but neither are very good or very bad in their own zone. Tkachuk
is the better fighter, but Adam is no slouch.
Comparing who has more Cups or who has been on better teams is irrelvant
to me. Adam Deadmarsh didn't "win" the Cup- the Avalanche
did. Besides, if Deadmarsh was on better teams (which he was), then
his stats should be that much better, right?
Here's where it apparently gets complicated for some of you---
Keith Tkachuk has at least twice held out on contracts that he signed
in an effort to get more money out of his team.
Despite formerly being team captain, Keith could constantly be seen
whining and complaining to anyone who would listen while on the ice.
Granted, he usually plays a pretty tough game on the ice and will stand
in front of the net and take a beating to score a goal.
I actually have other info I could add to show what a complete jerk
this guy is, but I had better leave that stuff off of a public forum
like this.
Suffice it to say that the guy is a complete jerk off the ice. He is
apparently under the impression that his "feces has no odor"
and I am more than positive that his attitude affects the locker (hotel?)
rooms no matter where he goes (say...Japan, for instance?).
Adam Deadmarsh on the other hand is one of the hardest working players
in the NHL and gives his heart and soul to his team. Despite being traded
from a contender and all of his good friends during one of the most
trying times in his life (the problems with his kids), Adam managed
to find it in himself to continue battling on the ice and helped push
the Kings to new heights in the playoffs that year (beating Detroit
and pushing the eventual Cup champion Avalanche to seven games). He
is a fan favorite and in my mind there is no doubt that he is a favorite
in the Kings locker room. Adam leads by example and I think many of
the Kings have learned how to win when it counts by his example.
Again, I think there is no comparison.
Do you want someone that will score you 50 goals or someone that will
help win you the Stanley Cup? This is a team game, kids. No one player
can win you the Cup. It's all about chemistry when it comes right down
to it. How do you think teams like the Panthers or the Hurricanes make
it to the Finals? It's all about character and leadership..."
~PuckRogue~
"I was getting ready to run off a long reply until I hit the half-way
point, and you said everything I wanted to say about Deader and what
he brings to the table compared to Tkachuk.
For the money that he makes, I think Tkachuk is VERY overrated. Money
aside, he's a very good player.
I think you said it best when you said "Do you want someone that
will score you 50 goals or someone that will help win you the Stanley
Cup?"
I'll take Deader without hesitation.
I look forward to your Lappy-Yashin post. You'll have a tougher time
making that argument! I LOVE Lappy, but Yashin is a star (not a superstar,
but close). I think if you surround him with the right people (ie a
Deader) it would really help his career.
--dizzydMoney aside, I believe that Keith Tkachuk is the best power
forward in the league.
I've heard rumblings about his non-odiferous fecal matter as well, and
I think it's fair to say that his leadership qualities are highly questionable,
but when on the ice there isn't a more dominant power forward in the
game today, in my opinion.
Deader brings similar yet also different talents/qualities to the ice,
and considering what we've got here in L.A., I wouldn't trade him for
Tkachuk, despite what I said about his talent. Deader is younger, cheaper,
has no blemishes on his record as to attitude/leadership and is still
getting better. Adam Deadmarsh if very important to the present and
future of the Kings."
~G’aal~
"Adam
Deadmarsh is a favorite of mine, I liked him on Colorado also. But Keith
Tkachuk is a dominant power forward, one of the best in the league when
he is healthy. He really creates space for other players on the ice.
I've also read that he is a locker room problem and I know he isn't
shy around a bottle of Tequila, but on the ice (which is what matters)
the guy is a rare type of player.
But I'd still rather have Deadmarsh."
~JayRoach~
"Would I take Deader over Tkachuk? I would have to say that it
would be a very dificult decision. I like everything about Deamarsh.
Hie grit, the way he drives the net, his play in front of the net and
his hands are some of the more impressive things about his offensive
skills and the way he sticks up for his team mates and his back checking
ability are a couple of his D upsides.
KT is a gifted scorer. He has all of the grit of Deader and much better
hands. He has a mean streak and is one of those players taht opponents
hate to face. He also has a reputation for being one of the worst guys
in the locker room of all time. (I don't put allot of trust into those
type of rumors normally but, when it comes from his own team mates it
makes you wonder)
There were more than one of his ex team mates who said that they were
happy to see him go.
I would hate to make that choice because IF TK could be made to be more
of a team player (providing the rumors about him are true, which we
don't really know) then he is the more gifted player. However, Deader
has allot of the intangibles that seem to elude KT. Deader is one of
the most loved team mates on the teams he has been on and when I talked
to AM about him he said that it didn't take long for the team to find
out why everyone on the AVS hated to see him go. Murray said he has
made himself a fixture on the team and that he is the guy that every
team needs in the locker room to make everyone get along.
For those reasons alone I guess I would take Deader. It wouldn't be
an easy decision and I wouldn't bag on anyone who went the other way.
In my opinion.
~Forum Blue~
"DEADER is the freakin man. I would pick over Keith you-suck anyday

"What?
How do you score 29 goals and NOT BE CONSIDERED A 1st LINE PLAYER? Come
on, have you SEEN some of the first lines in this league?
if you are looking for a strong, fast bruiser with some skill who can
also be a leader on and off the ice AND put in 30 goals AND show up
in the playoffs AND is young, etc. etc.... Which team isn't looking
for THAT on their first line?"
~Chiller~
"Call
me a homer,
But I would take Deadmarsh. Tkachuk is a mad man, but he never even
took Phoenix passed the first round the whole time there (as well as
Winnepeg either. And, it's not like he had a poor cast around him either.
I'm not saying I wouldn't like Tkachuk or that he isn't an elite player,
but Deadmarsh just brings so much to the table that Tkachuk does not.
How many Cups does Tkachuk have? Oh yeah...NONE! Also, Deadmarsh's hard
work alone is a motivation to the Kings.
Bascially, Deadmarsh does everything that Tkachuck does, but doesn't
produce as much on the score board, but PRODUCES WAY MORE IN OTHER KEY
AREAS.
I wouldn't trade Deadmarsh for anyone, unless it was an offer I couldn't
refuse. Tkachuck for Deadmarsh would NOT be one of those offers.

you may look at Tkachuk and say he hasn't won a cup but to compare the
old Winny team with Alexei & Teemu to the Ava's? that winny team
was just making the playoffs it didnt have the needed talent to go far
and certainly not win it all the way. Tkachuk was the only one who showed
up also. same with the Yotes when they brought in JR and moved Alexei.
it just wasnt built to win them all unlike the Avalache. in St. Louis
he was the only one who earned his pay during the playoffs, and he is

He's never gotten his teams anywhere near a Stanley Cup. And it's not
as if his teams have been lacking in talent either. And how many times
has he held out to renegotiate his contract? He did the exact same thing
that Yashin did a couple of years ago. But while everyone crucified
Yashin, nobody said a word about Tkachuk."

"Tkachuk
is a loser. Deadmarsh is a winner. End of discussion."
