One of my favorite goalie journeymen. Easy guy to cheer for at the time and a shame his career didn't pan out like I thought it might. Now he has a sweet job working at the NHL network, pretty nice.
Always seemed to get traded to a rebuilding Team - wrong place wrong time was the Story of Weeks career. Hella guy I’m glad he’s found success post playing career with the Network
The 05-06 season with the rangers he was actually supposed to be the starter with Lundqvist backing him up and if my memory serves me right. What gave lundqvist the starting job that year was that weeks got injured early in the year for a bit so that forced lundqvist into the starting role. Lundqvist played great and was the starter ever since. Kind of a shame that weeks lost his last chance to be a starting goalie due to a relatively small injury.
That sweet post-Lockout year, when everyone expected the Rangers to suck because they were supposedly rebuilding and then Jagr and Henrik carry them out of the Dark Ages into the Playoffs.
It would be so easy on your part to make videos only relevant to the regular season when that's what is on, but I seriously appreciate you going the extra extra EXTRA mile (as always) to provide your loyal followers with content!
Weekes was on the Rangers as a bridge for Lundqvist, but they didn't know that Lundqvist was ready, Hank was supposed to be the starter in 2007-08, but weekes got injured and then Hank stepped in and showed he was the next Mike Richter
Thanks for giving the Underdogs & Unsung Hero's a nod Shanny, you're a helluva Classy Guy! To use the term "Journeyman" to describe guys like KW is a well deserved compliment that I endorse 110%. Thought he was pretty decent in a Canucks' Jersey while he was here and I was sorry to see him go so quick. But he made out alright, and looks like he's doing alright in front of the camera .
Jake Allen is that guy who has glimpses but has those games where he is awful, I remember two years ago when Allen was a beast for St. Louis in the playoffs.
You should do a video on the career of Scott Gomez. Everyone mentions how bad of a contract he had later in his career but he was really good for NJD. Also the first Hispanic NHL player. Cool how he was from Alaska.
Wow is Mike Fountain a name i haven't heard in a LONG time. I watched him play for a minor league team called the Beast of New Haven when he was Carolina property. My mom loved him because she said he was cute lol. Always wanted him to do well but never panned out
He was a back up goalie from day one. A decent back up though. Surprised he never ended up in Philadelphia at some point. And, he was never on a team who scored goals.
I recall when I was a kid I used to know all the goalies - Dryden, Ken and Dave. Laroche, Thomas, Cheevers, Gilbert, Desjardin, Lowe, Chico, Battling Billy, Rogey JD, Myre, Heron, Smith, Giacamin, Tony O. Mankato who in my opinion had the best mask. Palmateer, the best goalie in the league that one year. Stephenson, Hall, Rutherford....
Remember the baseball player Ricky Weeks? He started making a name for himself around the same time as the wiki leaks scandal, and I'm thinking to myself whenever I listened to the news is why are some people talking like they're Chinese or something.
I always liked SpooKy Weeks , imo he was good Tender who unfortunately got stuck playing on bad Teams . The kid had the Talent just also wrong place wrong time ... he could’ve been a contender

Jeremy May oh yea remember that. Burke’s kiss of death

You're right, I remember this - he had come off a relatively successful run with Carolina

Retires after his only winning season, his version of retiring as a champ LOL.
Kevin Weekes is now on NHL Network as an analyst
He's amazing there and a shame a bigger network on either side hasn't picked him up.
And has his own apparel business
@@maxpowr90 --I like him where he is. He, Lawton, Grimson and THG are how I stay up on hockey.
@@thomastherriault6199 I'm just trying to convince Blues fans to give up Panger and let him join the NBC crew to replace McGuire.
@@maxpowr90 Fight the good fight. If anything needs replacing it's Pierre McGuire.
You should do a video on the career of Brian Rafalski, he had quite an interesting road to the NHL.
iCoolaxe didn’t he spend like 7 years in the minors?
iCoolaxe yes please
@@ogreman-lll-957 He played in Sweden and Finland several years before coming to NHL.

I used to watch NHL Network a lot and I really like Weekes' analysis. I always saw him as a great guy and a guy with a strong hockey IQ.
Weekes was on the Rangers as a bridge for Lundqvist, but they didn't know that Lundqvist was ready, Hank was supposed to be the starter in 2007-08, but weekes got injured and then Hank stepped in and showed he was the next Mike Richter
Hank stole his job. Still Weekes has nothing else to say about Hank but good things. That´s Class. Weekes is classy!
It happend to Peter Budaj
Thanks for giving the Underdogs & Unsung Hero's a nod Shanny, you're a helluva Classy Guy!

He was a competent goalie, no shame in being back up to Lundquist, Irbe and Brodeur.
I met kevin weekes, hes a really nice guy. I told him he was a better goalie then he gave himself credit for.
These are my favorite THG videos. Good job! Loved Weekes on HNIC
Good stuff as usual Shannon
I remember hearing about Kevin Weekes because he played for the Fort Wayne Komets shortly before he made his NHL debut.
Jake Allen is that guy who has glimpses but has those games where he is awful, I remember two years ago when Allen was a beast for St. Louis in the playoffs.
Should do one on Ray Emery
As a Flames fan for me, it was Trevor Kidd
That NJD team and system stuffed Weekes numbers also not only Brodeur's
His performance 02 playoffs against the Devils stands out
You should do a video on the career of Scott Gomez. Everyone mentions how bad of a contract he had later in his career but he was really good for NJD. Also the first Hispanic NHL player. Cool how he was from Alaska.
Awesome interview with Gomez on Spittin Chiclets. Tells some hilarious Claude Lemieux stories.
he is a funny guy on the NHL network only reason i tune in lol
Can you do a video on Roman Chechmanek?
I love Weekes as an analyst
But how does this affect the Leafs?
Wow is Mike Fountain a name i haven't heard in a LONG time. I watched him play for a minor league team called the Beast of New Haven when he was Carolina property. My mom loved him because she said he was cute lol. Always wanted him to do well but never panned out
I remember Weekes the most on hurricanes and Rangers
Shane Willis! Haven’t heard that name in a while. One of my favorite Hershey bears for the minimal time he was there.
He was a back up goalie from day one. A decent back up though. Surprised he never ended up in Philadelphia at some point. And, he was never on a team who scored goals.
Always wondered what happened to his career.
I remember that Peter Ing was to be the goaltender of the future for Toronto.
What happened to Ing?
@@murray1978 He played a few games for Edmonton and then for Detroit.
Daniel Gomez would be proud to say he knew this was coming!

Lol, Mankato. That should read Maniago. Damn you auto complete.
Do a career video of Arturs Irbe!
I really liked Hedican.
What did Carolina get with the trade to NY?
Underrated gk
Do a video on the career of Bobby Holik
Raffie Torres was a 1st round pick?
Remember the baseball player Ricky Weeks? He started making a name for himself around the same time as the wiki leaks scandal, and I'm thinking to myself whenever I listened to the news is why are some people talking like they're Chinese or something.
I remember Troy Gamble taking the crease from Captain Kirk
my idol
"I see what you did there, nice" 😂
Would have been terrific with Jovo Cop.
I predicted in the future you will then doing a video of Calvin Pickard
Nice presentation. I think your video cause be a lot more engaging if you include playing footage.
He made a career out of it.
Jagr for Journeyman?
He was great w NJD imo
He was great as a Hurricane AGAINST the NJD..🥴
😊
How do you have so many losing season? Honestly is that not embarrassing?
I always liked SpooKy Weeks , imo he was good Tender who unfortunately got stuck playing on bad Teams . The kid had the Talent just also wrong place wrong time ... he could’ve been a contender
Should have kept Weekes, couldnt have been any worse than DiPietro. @#$& Milbury.
Trotskyite Ice Pick Enthusiast Yep, traded Luongo and Weekes at the same time to draft DiPietro LMAO.
I never knew Kevin was Jussie Smollet before Jussie skillet became famous for a fake hate crime. Kevin became famous for a fake robbery 😂😂😂😂
Very mediocre goalie and now blah broadcaster
