Old man remembering his golden boys

[VattghernCZ 1,053]

While Kerr didn't manage to spend his whole VHL career with one team, he only changed teams once. Which probably means he's had fewer linemates than most. What would a lineup of his favorite linemates look like, taking into consideration everything from the line’s production to off-ice chemistry?

 

Left wing - Nico Pearce @Spartan

“It was weird with Nico. I was playing in Rome while he led Vancouver to the Cup. I was really looking forward to playing with him, but before I joined the big league, he had been traded. I told him I had been looking forward to playing with him. And he said, Who knows, maybe it would happen. And it did. My sophomore season was a tough one for me—a regression from my rookie season. But after that, guess what? Nico joined Vancouver again, and it's mostly thanks to him on my wing that I've finally found my game.”

 

Right wing - Leonard Triller @Triller

“My captain, who's been on my wing during my best seasons, he's just so good at getting the puck and getting it to you, man. It makes you work hard to find any open space because you know he'll be looking for you there. His game just forces everyone around him to be better, and I definitely feel like I'm at my best when he's playing next to me.”

 

Defense - Brian Payne @Scurvy

“What can I say about playing in front of Brian? I've always tried to help on the defensive side of the game as much as possible, but with Brian, you just feel like you don't need to. You go to pin an opponent to the board, then you hear Brian shouting he's got him, and the next moment you see the opponent’s helmet flying over the boards, and Brian is somehow already in the offensive zone with the puck. He's mental.”

 

Defense - Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito

“In a way, he's the opposite of Triller. You want to be lazy on the ice? Get yourself a PEB! He'll cover for everyone! Seriously, the level of two-way dominance he was showing was just not fair. Sure, we had some clashes in the playoffs when we were not teammates anymore, but we're cool.”

(Gaiko is making fun of me right now, I'll probably delete PEB from this post )

 

Goaltender - Jesse Teno @aimkin

“On top of being arguably the best goaltender of their generation, Jesse was an honorary alternate captain for a reason. Helping out with team management stuff I wouldn't even understand, making sure everyone is alright, you just love having them in the locker room.”

Oh, the joy and the respect of ribbing someone!! And also completely true as I am always poking fun at someone and with you in London; make it even more enjoyable every time we play. Looking forward to the new battles between PMB and Alagsantere Grønvold; hopefully we drop the gloves a few times as PMB was too much of lover, goal scorer and winner to both with Wann Kerr!! LOL!!
