Aloha Mr. Krog

July 16, 2008

Jason Krog and a sweet stacheJason Krog. 32. 198 NHL Games, nine seasons in the minors.

Seems kind of like getting a job at McDonalds, never moving off the deep frier and then leaving for Wendy’s to work the grill for more money. No?

Regardless, any stache like that is a friend of mine.Any ways, he’s an excerpt from his Wikipedia page, which is a roller coaster ride of emotions:

“On July 4, 2006, Krog returned to the NHL as he was signed by the Atlanta Trashers. However, after 14 games in Atlanta, he was placed on waivers and picked up on January 12, 2007, by the New York Rangers[1]. Krog played 9 games for the Rangers and he was later reclaimed by Atlanta on February 26.

After failing to make the Thrashers’ team at the start of the 2007-08 season, Krog was sent down to their minor league affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. Fortunately, this would give Krog a chance to re-energize his career. After scoring 36 goals and 101 points, he would capture the John B. Sollenberger Trophy as the league’s top point scorer, the Willie Marshall Award as the top goal scorer and the Les Cunningham Award as league MVP. He led the Wolves to a divisional title and their second Calder Cup in seven years. Leading the playoffs in scoring, he also was awarded the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as playoff MVP.”
