The Legend of Chris Simon

Power forward was a force in the NHL and won a Cup with Colorado in 1996, but his numerous suspensions for on-ice incidents tarnished his quarter-century major league legacy

Rest In Peace Chris Simon. My Ojibwe brother! Now you can fly high Chris! Thank you for the years of entertainment!

He will be missed...

RIP Chris. I so enjoyed your Avalanche years. Now I fear your death resulted from CTE, and I feel complicit. 😢

Thanks for the video JJ, appreciated. I was a big Simon fan when I was a kid, in NHL 94 I used to put him with Sakic on the first line so that Chris can "protect" Joe lol 😂. I remember when he scored close to 30 goals with the Caps, I couldn't believe it, I thought it was the most shocking thing in the history of hockey haha. Anyway, thanks JJ. ✌🏻

I always thought Chris was the only player GMs wanted on their team because when the other teams had him, he could hurt you big time...
