The Point-Per-Game Star Who Fell Off The Map - The Jason Allison Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2020
- Scoring at a point-per-game pace just once during your NHL career is impressive enough, but to do so for over half a decade straight is quite an incredible achievement. While most of these productive scorers will become stars of the league and struggle to go about their day-to-day business without being recognised by fans, one player disappeared from the spotlight far quicker than anyone could have predicted...
This is the story of Jason Allison's journey from point-per-game star to his fall off the hockey map!

Joe Thornton has said that he learned how to cycle down low and protect the puck by watching Jason Allison do it.
dont know if anyone cares but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother recently =)
@Caiden Kenneth Definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

Theres a name I haven't heard in a while...
I remember Jason Allison...being a prospect.
Man, I'm old!
I remember when Patrick Roy played his first NHL game........ Thats old...lol
@@SteveWKk You're right, I meant "by UA-cam standards". Haha! I was born in 86 and Patrick was my idol. He was cooler than Batman AND the Turtles together...!
I had his hockey card while he was with the Capitals around 1996. Ever since I like the caps.
Greetings fellow mid-thirty year old. I remember going to watch Jason Allison in his jr hockey days.
@@alainsoucysergerie9879 you're not old! Your name says that you're young!!
Removing the red-line and calling obstruction penalties had a bad effect on many of the slower players in the NHL.
There is more in life then playing hockey and Jason proved it.
This guy was one of my favorite players on the kings when I was a kid, the LAPD line
Kings were underrated in the early 2000s
A couple more depth players and more consistent goaltending would have made them a Cup contender.
Kings organization never talks about him, but they should. There was some talk among broadcasters and people close to the team back then that described Allison as being strange and not an approachable type. The Kings were doing so well until injuries hit them hard. Plus, not bringing Potvin back in favor of Cechmanek was a bad move on Taylor's part.
@@onyoutuberightnow man RC sucked sooooooooo bad, hahah
@@screenheads3812 Yup! Potvin did so much for the Kings after they got him from Vancouver and Taylor was like, "Thanks, see ya!" I think Potvin ended up in Boston and was gone from the NHL after that...around the same time as Allison probably.
Do a video on Zigmund Pallfy
Super underrated 🔥
ZIGGYYYYY
@@prezidentjeff To who? Plaffy was amazing!
If this guy was a better skater than he was, he would've been one of the best players in the game. For sure. Silky smooth hands, great passer, super strong on the puck.
Spot on.
Hey buddy. How’ve you been? You going to the game this weekend at bayside?
Reminds me of another former Capitals prospect, Andrew Brunette.
Stupid comment! You have know idea
@@kr6535 Stupid comment... can't spell a 2 letter word correctly
He was still a very good player, even in his last season in the nhl with the leafs. During that year in 66 games, he had 17 goals and 43 assists (60 points).
I dont care if he was a slow skater, if you have that kind of point production your still a dam good player and deserved not to be cut from the team.
He was a power play specialist.9 goals and 39 assists scored with the man advantage.
@@Jimy1017 Every team needs a good power play..
I grew up in London and was a dye-hard Knights fan. I saw a lot of great players come out of London, both before and after Allison, such as Shanahan, Perry and Kane. I have never seen a BETTER player than Allison and I followed his career and post career intently. He was super skilled at the game, and his contribution to the world junior golds was unprecedented. He scored the best WJ goal of all time with a no look back hand with "3 or 4 players draped all over him" in the words of Bryan McCabe. He was not as slow a skater as some make him out to be, he did seem very awkward skating but in an end to end race in LA he came in 1st. He'll always be my favorite former Knight. His opponents also said repeatedly that he was the hardest guy in the league to knock off the puck. Too bad his career was so short!
Side note that 2005 Leaf roster had serious potential - remember them touting the Sundin + Allison + Lindros center trio as the big 3 but injuries held them back
04-05 was our year if there was no lockout. Leetch on defense, Niewendyk, Roberts still on the team etc.
No it would have been the Sens year for the cup sowwwy
@@brendenhiggins1432 No argument there, talk about scary from top to bottom
@@brendenhiggins1432 the ones who always lost in the first round eh? 😂😂
And O’Neal
I went to high school with Jason Allison, grade 10 in London, he was 16 years old, played for London knights in ohl
He sat behind me , in my grade 10 English class
@@donkeyballs3307 was he a good guy?
Yea he was , I got along with him , no problem, he was a tall skinny kid , back then , im way way shorter than he is , he was already over 6 feet tall , in grade 10
So who gives a shit
I went to school with him too at Saunders. Had the best looking girl in school!
I wonder if there could be a dual part on Jonathan Cheechoo and Devin Setoguchi next. Each fell off a cliff!
Setogouchi was never a superstar though... and Cheechoo had 1 ½ good season
Setoguchi had it pretty bad when he was in and getting out of the league. I think I read once he relied on alcohol and drugs a lot to get him through a lot of depression while he was playing. Really brutal way to end a career, and I think he's had a better life since he's hung em up.
Yes!
This is a deep cut
Always loved him as a Boston Bruin! Saw him live vs Toronto in November 1998. Think he had a goal and an assist. The line of Sergei Samsonov-Jason Allison-Dmitri Khristich was pretty damn good! Anyway, glad to learn more about him - thank you for the video!
sergei allison and khristich all three of them would of been hall of famers if they would of stayed healthy
I have a random signed Jason Allison jersey and i don't remember how I got it but, pretty rando and cool
Nice. I have a Jason Allison allstar jersey
Being born in 95 makes me sad that I cant remember anything pre-2001 .. other than 9/11. 2002 was when i first remember hockey in full when Montreal beat Boston and lost to Carolina, with them going all the way to lose to the mighty Red Wings. I always wished I could have seen that club in their prime - my father said to me that Detroit from 1996-2002 was pure artistry.
I still have my Jason Allison King's jersey. Allison-Deadmarsh and Palffy was uch a deadly line, It's a shame we got so little of it.
Speaking about a guy who fell off the map Dmitri Kvartalnov scored 72 points in one season and left I would love to see a what ever happened to video on him
I saw him play when I lived in Austria in the 90s
What about Rosie Ruzeiska or even Ken Hodge Jr.
He has a good record coaching in Russia the past decade or so:

You should do a story of jason smith.The edmonton oilers captain and captain of the regina pats.
I was pissed when they cut him in 2009. Stupid. Was very dark Leaf years. Sundin was gone. The Jason Blake Years. Eeeeeeek.
Would have been a good center for Blake.
Allison's wrists were wrecked, though. He could barely take faceoffs at the end of his career.
That feels like a hundred years ago 😅
I remember his last year in Toronto like it was yesterday. 60 points in 66 games. Shockingly slow though - him not playing for over 2 years did a number on him
What a story! Never knew about this guy
I only knew oh him because I’m a huge kings fan and I remember from all the old NHLs lol
Allison was a very entertaining player to watch
He was incredible on the Power Play and had Lemieux like moves!
I seen him play in London for the Knights. Pretty much been a season ticket holder since '88.
Oh shit I remember this guy! He was a great player
My memory of this guy was he would score when goals didn't matter. Up by 3, he'd score 2. His team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, score a hat trick.
When he was traded to the Kings, I thought they were starting to build a contending team, with him in his prime! But, those injuries really set him and the Kings back.
there was a reason they were known as the IR kings.
The key point was that adam deadmarsh, while LOVED in colorado, had had a MAJOR concussion and the avs knew he was damaged goods. They leveraged that into getting Rob Blake. Without deader to help stabilize that top line, Jason allison became a target and had to play a much more grinder role on the top line to give palffy space. It made him more injury prone and ended up ruining his career.
As an avs fan, and seeing the kings at full strength a couple times, had Deader and Allison not been hurt, they were a SCARY team. They had a good coach in Andy Murray, they had depth and they were a TOUGH team to play against. As much as the avs and kings had downright feuds in the early 00s, once two of the kings top players went down, it was all over. The kings had a chance in 01 or 02 to beat the avs and while St Patrick OWNS the kings, those series were SCARY. I always respected the kings, even as a rival, because what they lacked in top end talent they made up for with grit and heart. Lappy was a great example of that.
@@pilotamurorei It's been awhile, so I had to look up the third guy on Deadmarsh and JA's line, it was Plaffy! And I completely forgot Felix was the goalie!
@@Lawomenshoops i went to so many kings games back then (whether or not the avs played or not, just for some hockey) so i remember all about those early 2000s teams. Matias Nordstrom became captain after the blake trade, then you had matheiu schneider on the blue line (yes that same mathieu schneider from the 93 habs cup team), Potvin starting goalie with Jamie Storr backing him up, the LAPD line (Allison Palffy Deadmarsh line), with lappy on the grind line causing all sorts of trouble. They were probably the best kings TEAM we ever saw on paper (the cup wins were thanks to Quick summoning the power of patrick roy to carry the team)
I've been on his boat before, my rich uncle has cottage on lake joe and jason owned a island there. His brother was at his cottage and was friends with my uncle and when there was a party his brother came over.
I traded for him in NHL 04 and he carried my Rangers team who was 10th in the East to the 4th seed. Then took them to the Eastern conference finals before I lost to the Senators in 6. I never heard of him so I googled him and found this video. Sucks that his career was shortened 😥
Suggestion for a future edition: The Brief Rise and Fall of Cody Hogdson.
He was a perfect clutch and grab era player, just got caught between eras . Once the game sped up his speed deficiency was really exposed.
It's really unfortunate that the speed of the game passed him by. An extremely talented player. I recall him skating in for a shootout attempt with the Leafs and it was so slow it was either painful or funny to watch depending on your point of view.
It wasn't the speed of the game. He has a catastrophic concussion.
@@westcoasthockeybias37 I'm aware but the fact remains that even when he was 100 percent healthy, Allison was far from a quick player. Pre lockout he was very effective but it all changed. I'm not talking about why he retired - i'm talking about his decline beforehand.
@@jetsilveravenger What are you talking about? He was a dominant, point-per-game player with the Kings. He got a concussion and it ended his career.
@@westcoasthockeybias37 His concussion was several years before the lockout. He missed most of the 02/03 season and all the following season because of it. Then the lockout happened. He returned in 05/06 with the Leafs but the game had changed. Obviously the concussion contributed but even in his prime he was not a fast player. So no, it did not end his career. The Leafs chose to not resign him after that season. He received some offers from other teams but chose to retire. Apparently he had some personal reasons besides the toll the injuries had taken. So no, stating concussions "ended his career' is only a partial truth.
ALLISON WAS KILLER
Horse breeding/racing is a big money business here, in Ont. A lot of people as far as 2000km away will dedicate themselves to raising and racing horses, just hoping to be noticed by someone with a connection to the Woodbine/Mohawk tracks near Toronto.
I went to High School in Inverness, NS, a small town of just a few thousand where the Sunday horse races was the main entertainment all summer long, and got to see it first hand. If you weren't there watching the races, you were probably there working at the track, itself.....unless you worked at the crab plant that employeed like 20% of the town....
Think of it like 'Friday Night Lights', but in the afternoon.....and with lots more manure
How about a feature on Rob Gaudreau or Bruce Hoffort? Check out the stats
Ron Wilson "I can't give Jason Allison a chance, I have that spot reserved for Colton Orr!"
Who else misses the "grrrrrrrrrrrr-eetingssss" intro? 🥺🥺 bring it back for 1 vid pls
You mean....Q-Ratings lol
plus minus stats are huge when looking at D men and offense. If you put it up 100 points and are a minus 10....you're still hurting the team. Many players like this through the years in the NHL. Great talent, but unless you can collect a positive plus minus throughout most of your career, like Datsyuk, teams will notice.
You should do a video about Mike Comrie
I seen him score against the thrashers in the acc
This guy came to my elementary school in Oakville Ontario got a signed puck
wow 7 notis in 7 mins for me
Mmmmmmm notis
I remember the Boston/LA trade, I always thought Allison was a better overall player than people thought.
On the flip side, Adam Oates and Glenn Murray were good players.
Jozef Stumpel and Murray came over in the trade with LA, Oates was part of the trade with Washington that brought Allison to Boston.
A mature decision
I actually didn’t think the percentage of point per game players was as high as 6%, I thought it was lower than that.
Got a new iphone 12 pro max today, first vid i watched on it was this, love your content bro. Please keep it up.
Why would you tell a bunch of strangers about what the fuck thing you watch a video on?
@@SteveWKk lol...
Ayyyyyy
2:25 nice
Quite the photo....lolol
Huge Bruins fan. Huge Allison fan. GO BEEZERS😁👍
Allison was great as a Bruin. Shame the way things played out as they did. Made him the captain. He had a nearly hundred point year they shopped him. He found out about it made a public statement about how he thought it was poor for a team to do that to a captain. Which cemented that they had to get rid of him. So by shopping him they caused two problems. Losing him and setting up Joe Thornton to be a captain when he wasn't even close to ready for it.
He was a pretty bad skater when drafted by WSH but one with a great set of hands. He improved his skating just barely acceptable for the NHL but how good could he have been if he really applied himself to this? Overall he had a good career but he left us wondering.
Lol....his last photo looks like a mugshot......you can see the depression...
HOW EVA
I would love a story about Walt Poddubny.
Problem with Jason was he was just too slow for this new game. He was a good player during old NHL. The game was becoming more about transition and Jason simply couldn't keep up. Old forwards didn't have to come back and play defensive game, the new game did require that. He couldn't keep up or come back fast enough
Taking out the redline and cracking down on obstruction killed his game. Even more noticeably, and remarkably slow after that. Still, he had a great career.
How did Joe Thornton survive in this "new game"? Slowest slug I've ever seen
Another pyjamas boy😂
Fell off the map the year I took him in the pool.
How desperate were the leafs when they offered him a try out. Nothing against Allison but he was already slow and his head was not in it. Ron Wilson and Burke, what a couple of bad actors they were.
Yeah they were pathetic. Crazy to think Sportsnet now gives Burke an analyst platform and thinks everything he says is the gospel. He won a cup in Anaheim with most of Bryan Murray’s team, then was another bust heralded as the Leafs’ new saviour.
1:00 Gravey sighting! OMR is a true blue Rangers fan
He was good till he was in his 30s and had played 12 seasons in the NHL, that's not really falling off the map. Thats is just called getting older
No
Allison had a lot of 4th line time in those early cups of coffee with the Caps. I saw him play between Kevin Kaminski and Craig Berube one game, which just doesn't produce points. The 1997 trade of Allison hurt the Caps (you were starting to see flashes of dominance) in the long run Oates was a big reason the Caps made the finals in 1998. I agree with the other posters he did not have the speed to be a top flight center and isn't a match for today's game.
69 points. nice
Every decision JFJ made was a mistake.
.a pass first guy
There was nothing "young and fast" about the John Ferguson Jr. Leafs it was one bad decision after another, Allison could still clearly play
Man his skating though, smh.
@@samplechannel2fiyd5idjfufjfud His skating as a whole was pretty bad. Bad accerlation, Below average top speed, Bad lateral movement. But what he laked in his feet he made up for with his hands. Great shooter and an even better passer. He'd park himself behind the oponents net where his skating become a non factor and he'd make guys chase him back. Then he'd either beat goalies with wrap arounds or make passes through coverage for goals.
I mean that worked for him before the lockout, but once they tightened up the penalties his style was obsolete due to his poor skating, and being a leafs fan I saw that up close.
But he hasn't fell off the map?
Fergusson was a bum.
Me being early but doesn’t have anything to say 😅
Hi
Retire - Greed loses out.
5th
Gosh, Draisaitl is so handsome.
Another player former Kings coach Andy Murray ruined.
I don’t buy that BS that he was to slow. I’d put him on my team even if it’s just for the pp. I think he just didn’t have the passion to play.
First
No one cares
You must be feeling especially proud today......;/
Jason was a Douche , sat out for more money and Sinden relented saying " He's not as good as he thinks he is .
Jason got mad and said " I'll never play for Boston again and Harry and the fans said See ya later .
blah blah blah... just look at his stats
He was a weak skater
He might have had some good seasons, but Allison was never ever a star.
This announcer is terrible. Should be doing soccer or billiards not hockey.
