Nathan Gerbe proves if Shannon played hockey, he could’ve made the NHL!

@ogreman-lll-957 Год назад

@@New-qy5mi less than that

@mvgamer9637 Год назад

Shannon did, does play hockey

@ogreman-lll-957 Год назад

@@mvgamer9637 he didn’t play on ice when he was younger.

@justbleedprod.9414 Год назад

There are plenty of small guys that played in the NHL that prove you’re never too small to play hockey. Marty St. Louis, Cole Caufield, Alex Debrincat, Mats Zuccarello and Nathan Gerbe!

@IHateMyAccountName Год назад

To be fair, Gerbe is built like a tree trunk.

@hockeydork1414 Год назад

Growing up, I always felt sorry for myself being short. Gerbe showed me that instead of whining, I should put that energy toward something positive

@christhornycroft3686 Год назад

I like these career videos on more obscure, lesser known players. If you watch hockey for any length of time, you probably know about the big names, even the ones from the 80s. But it's interesting to hear stories about players who don't get the same recognition, who worked hard to get there, or were just great characters of the game.

@Buffalosabskis Год назад

Loved him as a Sabre. We had this mini excitement in around 2011. I remember being at sold-out preseason games that cost $100. It was fun. I hope we get back to that feeling.

@dustinfields2055 Год назад

I always loved the passion that Gerbe played with. He is living proof that “it doesn’t matter the size of the dog in the fight, but rather the size of the fight in the dog.”

@snakegarringer Год назад

As another 5’4 short king, I adored Nathan’s time in Columbus. Really made me not feel as bad about my height. Fighting Sanheim after flattening Giroux and the pics with Chara will always be legendary to me. Love ya, Gerbs.

@bdonaghu Год назад

Nathan Gerbe scored the tying goal to make the score 3-3 against the Flyers back in April 2011 sending the game to OT. That point secured Buffalo a playoff spot in 2011, the last time Buffalo was in the playoffs. Always loved Gerbe as a Sabre, and was sad when they bought him out.

@drzal1221 Год назад

Gerbs is a legend I love seeing him play

@wmf1595 Год назад

CBJ fan here Thanks Nathan for the years you spent here. Best wishes first your NHL coaching future.

@neutralsportsfan17 Год назад

First time I ever saw Gerbe was at the 2008 Frozen Four. He was awesome and got a hat trick in the semis and two more goals in national championship. That was probably the highlight of his hockey life.

@bellteacher8699 Год назад

I loved seeing Gerbe play for the CBJ. He was a high energy guy who always gave 100 percent. When he hit the ice, people rooted for him and he seemed to give s spark of energy to the rest of the team as well!

@ToadsarebetterthanFrogs Год назад

This is an interesting one. Always liked Gerbe I remember him kicking some Flyer players ass hard when he was in Buffalo

@brandonb.6099 Год назад

I'm so glad that THG did a career video on Nathan Gerbe. Short players can make it to the NHL if they work hard enough and prove that they can fill a need for a given team.

@garychandler7632 Год назад

Loved Gerbe. No one had more heart.

@Flamindrake Год назад

I have one of his Portland Pirates jerseys signed by him, and its by far my favorite jersey I own. He's been one of my favorite players to watch in both the NHL and AHL

@swedreamhack5308 Год назад

Incredible achievement when you think of it. For some, nothing is impossible.

@Tomczykkkk Год назад

My favorite Sabre for the longest time. Just a little ball of energy whenever he stepped on the ice. Remember seeing a picture of him showing off his legs, dude was built like a tree trunk 😁 Mad respect for carving out such a long career at the highest of levels of hockey - happy retirement Gerbs 👌🏻

@jwolfe01234 Год назад

Wow, wasn't expecting a Gerbe video today. Does everybody get one from THG when they retire? Glad to see it. He was popular in Columbus. Gerbe was hurt all last year. He started the year on Season Opening Injured Reserve and never came off. Someone in his position isn't coming back from that at age 35.

@benkilla Год назад

5’4 squad rise up… well not that high up

@dylanwynkoop4578 Год назад

Gerbe will always have a special place in the hearts of Jackets fans. He always gave 110% on the ice and was from all accounts a fantastic teammate, and person. I hope he does great things as a coach in Nashville

@guybunchofnumbers123 Год назад

Always one of my favorite, slightly obscure, players

@ericjencson9489 Год назад

Loved Nathan when he was on the Jackets. A little firecracker. Great energy.

@Agent7300 Год назад

always enjoyed watching him play

@ryanklimaszewski2132 Год назад

Absolutely love the monsters jersey. He was beloved here in Cleveland. He had so much talent and instinct, if he was 6 inches taller i swear he'd be a top 6 forward

@SabresGuy87 Год назад

Gerbe was something special at his size in Buffalo and threw some big hits on big guys with no fear

@dealy9268 Год назад

I am 5'6" I was always measured with my skates on as a player so I was listed at 5'8" or 5'9". I would turn the your too small stuff into my reason to push harder. I was a pest and a goal scorer but could also play tough defense. But after my second knee injury it was over. GOD's plan was better as my life has been amazing!!!

@day1avsfan907 Год назад

I was on the small side too, they never resorted to measuring with skates on tho lol in every sport where size matters coaches, managers etc will add or subtract inches or lbs to make a prospect more appealing

@day1avsfan907 Год назад

Glad to hear things worked out for you tho! God bless

@stentorofsparta3576 Год назад

A nice little video for everyone’s favorite little player.

@ZackTheKack Год назад

I'm really going to miss seeing Gerbe out there.

@MySundin13 Год назад

Don't worry Shannon....I'm 6 foot 4, and it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Car back seats are MY enemies

@jfriesen39 Год назад

He had to think the game at a "high" level. That's cold.

@michaelharrison5725 Год назад

Loved his fire in Columbus. Let's go Jackets!

@nicks1169 Год назад

I always liked him as a shorter 5’9 guy. Spirit animal

@massivecumshot Год назад

I'm Nate's size and missed my shot in the bigs because of my height so I've always had a soft spot for a hard working grinder who used his hustle and drive to make himself 'play big'. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

@Gagne87Fixxer Год назад

I didn’t know Gerbe was 5’4”. The Sabres had both Tyler Ennis and Nathan Gerbe which were considered “small”. Nathan had a decent career, considering he had to get over everyone telling him he was too short! Nice!

@dangniewecki6248 Год назад

My favorite Gerbe memory was him throwing a glove punch into Charas chest that had literally 0 effect. But he was a tiny baby made of grit and heart. The fact he ever made it to the NHL and wasn’t afraid makes him an all star to me.

@shanew5957 Год назад

A 5'4" firecracker that played the game like he was 6''3" 200lbs. I believe he suffered a bad knee injury his last year. Sure it factored into his retirement. A fan favorite in Columbus

@collinclary5762 Год назад

One of my Favorite Canes back in the dog days

@Yo-qj5mu Год назад

I’m really insercure about my height when I’m playing against all these kids who are 6 ft tall but gerbe inspires me that height doesn’t matter but the fight in me

@dangc8315 Год назад

I just looked up his size 5’4”. I believe that is 100% accurate. Amazingly enough he players with a greater edge than JVR

You're 5'4"?! Dang I had no idea lol that's how tall I am too. This world is not designed for short people 😵

@nicanthrope1177 Год назад

Going to miss going to Monsters games and seeing him play

@danielleatherman1936 Год назад

To me the CBJ missed yet another opportunity to roll a player into coaching/development but the CBJ loss is Nashville's gain. Happy for him.

Yeah, might have been his choice though

You haven't done Keith Tkachuk yet. He's a 500+ goals club member.

Can you do a Hugh Jessiman career video next. Feel he would fit right in with these videos.

@MetronomeGamez Год назад

Nathan Gerbe retires and gets a career video right away, but Joel Ward retires and I’m still waiting on that career video that you promised. Joel Ward career video please!

@day1avsfan907 Год назад

Martin St.Louis/Theo Fleury gave me hope as a kid, I'm sure Gerbe would say the same. It was all about size up until recently; size still plays a big factor tho

@SupahFox24 Год назад

You should do a career video on Jussi Jokinen next.

@bobroberts2067 Год назад

I..."measure"...all NHL players of "small stature" against my all time favourite: Cliff Ronning. That guy could play.

Please Shannon, im begging you to do a Mike Richards and Mike Green career vid

@MetallicaNHL11 Год назад

yes sir

Gerbe’s claim to fame was being mentioned in an episode of Bones.

He fought chara

@steventalbott6066 Год назад

TRUE STORY: At Encore a bar in Buffalo, I once challenged Nathan Gerbe to a game of Chell for his contract. He respectfully declined or didn’t respond at all🤔 one of the two 🍻
