Wow, blast from the past with that name. RIP ZZ

Greatest name in hockey. RIP.

funnyb25 · 12-13-17, 11:07 AM

Watched him play growing up...Played for a boat load of teams, but was solid for each and every one of them.

Young. Remember him well on the whalers

Edit. Yup. Man, I remember him on every other team but...

Coolcanuck79 · 12-13-17, 11:19 AM

He did play for the Whalers for a couple of seasons in the early 90's. I'm certain of that.

That is wild. The 1 team I don;t remember him on. Maybe because I don;t remember much at all about the Hartford Whalers in general except that they turned into the Canes.

Coolcanuck79 · 12-13-17, 11:23 AM

Mike Liut is the name I remember most about the Whalers. The somewhat good old days of hockey.

lakerboy · 12-13-17, 11:23 AM

Funny don't ever doubt my hockey knowledge. I have watched the NHL since 1980

Lol the good old whalers. Had some good series with the nordiques.

Pat Verbeek and Kevin dineen two solid pests.

juicername · 12-13-17, 11:55 AM

Thought I remembered ZZ playing for the Kings. Turned out I was thinking about Zhitnik, doh!

The Penguins traded him to the Whalers for Ron Francis.

Over Ronnie Franchise? Top 6 or 7 all time in points?

Complications from a viral infection he came down with in October.

makes you wonder if he was a big drinker. a virus shouldnt kill a healthy 49 year old man unless he was already compromised

bonusguy · 12-13-17, 04:48 PM

i had the 24 hour virus last month. then started to get it again last night. chills, headache freezing cold...........my body fought it off this time but this is weird. hope its not something big

Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends

RIP Zarley

Immune system must have just been completely shot to not overcome a viral infection at age 49.

thats what im saying. have to think he was in a top notch medical facility. then a run of the mill virus knocks him off when hes near his peak of life. doesnt make sense

Booya711 · 12-13-17, 07:24 PM

I know nothing about hockey

TheMoneyShot · 12-13-17, 09:37 PM

Did he die from too many slap shots to the head?

clockwise1965 · 12-14-17, 01:02 AM

He had some chemical dependency issues according to SI reports. RIP.

eidolon · 12-14-17, 02:51 AM

Was he a professional bowler?
