The Point-Per-Game Star Who Fell Off The Map - The Jason Allison Story 

dont know if anyone cares but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother recently =)

@Caiden Kenneth Definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

sergei allison and khristich all three of them would of been hall of famers if they would of stayed healthy

I saw him play when I lived in Austria in the 90s

What about Rosie Ruzeiska or even Ken Hodge Jr.

He has a good record coaching in Russia the past decade or so: www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=2862

He sat behind me , in my grade 10 English class

@@donkeyballs3307 was he a good guy?

Yea he was , I got along with him , no problem, he was a tall skinny kid , back then , im way way shorter than he is , he was already over 6 feet tall , in grade 10

So who gives a shit

I went to school with him too at Saunders. Had the best looking girl in school!

Why would you tell a bunch of strangers about what the fuck thing you watch a video on?

@@SteveWKk lol...

Yeah they were pathetic. Crazy to think Sportsnet now gives Burke an analyst platform and thinks everything he says is the gospel. He won a cup in Anaheim with most of Bryan Murray’s team, then was another bust heralded as the Leafs’ new saviour.

Quite the photo....lolol

Super underrated 🔥

ZIGGYYYYY

@@prezidentjeff To who? Plaffy was amazing!

I remember when Patrick Roy played his first NHL game........ Thats old...lol

@@SteveWKk You're right, I meant "by RU-vid standards". Haha! I was born in 86 and Patrick was my idol. He was cooler than Batman AND the Turtles together...!

I had his hockey card while he was with the Capitals around 1996. Ever since I like the caps.

Greetings fellow mid-thirty year old. I remember going to watch Jason Allison in his jr hockey days.

@@alainsoucysergerie9879 you're not old! Your name says that you're young!!

Spot on.

Hey buddy. How’ve you been? You going to the game this weekend at bayside?

Reminds me of another former Capitals prospect, Andrew Brunette.

Stupid comment! You have know idea

@@kr6535 Stupid comment... can't spell a 2 letter word correctly

Would have been a good center for Blake.

Allison's wrists were wrecked, though. He could barely take faceoffs at the end of his career.

That feels like a hundred years ago 😅

Kings were underrated in the early 2000s

A couple more depth players and more consistent goaltending would have made them a Cup contender.

Kings organization never talks about him, but they should. There was some talk among broadcasters and people close to the team back then that described Allison as being strange and not an approachable type. The Kings were doing so well until injuries hit them hard. Plus, not bringing Potvin back in favor of Cechmanek was a bad move on Taylor's part.

@@onyoutuberightnow man RC sucked sooooooooo bad, hahah

@@screenheads3812 Yup! Potvin did so much for the Kings after they got him from Vancouver and Taylor was like, "Thanks, see ya!" I think Potvin ended up in Boston and was gone from the NHL after that...around the same time as Allison probably.

Nice. I have a Jason Allison allstar jersey

Setogouchi was never a superstar though... and Cheechoo had 1 ½ good season

Setoguchi had it pretty bad when he was in and getting out of the league. I think I read once he relied on alcohol and drugs a lot to get him through a lot of depression while he was playing. Really brutal way to end a career, and I think he's had a better life since he's hung em up.

He was a power play specialist.9 goals and 39 assists scored with the man advantage.

@@Jimy1017 Every team needs a good power play..

04-05 was our year if there was no lockout. Leetch on defense, Niewendyk, Roberts still on the team etc.

No it would have been the Sens year for the cup sowwwy

@@brendenhiggins1432 No argument there, talk about scary from top to bottom

@@brendenhiggins1432 the ones who always lost in the first round eh? 😂😂

And O’Neal

Taking out the redline and cracking down on obstruction killed his game. Even more noticeably, and remarkably slow after that. Still, he had a great career.

How did Joe Thornton survive in this "new game"? Slowest slug I've ever seen

I only knew oh him because I’m a huge kings fan and I remember from all the old NHLs lol

there was a reason they were known as the IR kings. The key point was that adam deadmarsh, while LOVED in colorado, had had a MAJOR concussion and the avs knew he was damaged goods. They leveraged that into getting Rob Blake. Without deader to help stabilize that top line, Jason allison became a target and had to play a much more grinder role on the top line to give palffy space. It made him more injury prone and ended up ruining his career. As an avs fan, and seeing the kings at full strength a couple times, had Deader and Allison not been hurt, they were a SCARY team. They had a good coach in Andy Murray, they had depth and they were a TOUGH team to play against. As much as the avs and kings had downright feuds in the early 00s, once two of the kings top players went down, it was all over. The kings had a chance in 01 or 02 to beat the avs and while St Patrick OWNS the kings, those series were SCARY. I always respected the kings, even as a rival, because what they lacked in top end talent they made up for with grit and heart. Lappy was a great example of that.

@@pilotamurorei It's been awhile, so I had to look up the third guy on Deadmarsh and JA's line, it was Plaffy! And I completely forgot Felix was the goalie!

@@Lawomenshoops i went to so many kings games back then (whether or not the avs played or not, just for some hockey) so i remember all about those early 2000s teams. Matias Nordstrom became captain after the blake trade, then you had matheiu schneider on the blue line (yes that same mathieu schneider from the 93 habs cup team), Potvin starting goalie with Jamie Storr backing him up, the LAPD line (Allison Palffy Deadmarsh line), with lappy on the grind line causing all sorts of trouble. They were probably the best kings TEAM we ever saw on paper (the cup wins were thanks to Quick summoning the power of patrick roy to carry the team)

Mmmmmmm notis

No

It wasn't the speed of the game. He has a catastrophic concussion.

@@westcoasthockeybias37 I'm aware but the fact remains that even when he was 100 percent healthy, Allison was far from a quick player. Pre lockout he was very effective but it all changed. I'm not talking about why he retired - i'm talking about his decline beforehand.

@@jetsilveravenger What are you talking about? He was a dominant, point-per-game player with the Kings. He got a concussion and it ended his career.

@@westcoasthockeybias37 His concussion was several years before the lockout. He missed most of the 02/03 season and all the following season because of it. Then the lockout happened. He returned in 05/06 with the Leafs but the game had changed. Obviously the concussion contributed but even in his prime he was not a fast player. So no, it did not end his career. The Leafs chose to not resign him after that season. He received some offers from other teams but chose to retire. Apparently he had some personal reasons besides the toll the injuries had taken. So no, stating concussions "ended his career' is only a partial truth.

Jozef Stumpel and Murray came over in the trade with LA, Oates was part of the trade with Washington that brought Allison to Boston.

You mean....Q-Ratings lol

@@samplechannel2fiyd5idjfufjfud His skating as a whole was pretty bad. Bad accerlation, Below average top speed, Bad lateral movement. But what he laked in his feet he made up for with his hands. Great shooter and an even better passer. He'd park himself behind the oponents net where his skating become a non factor and he'd make guys chase him back. Then he'd either beat goalies with wrap arounds or make passes through coverage for goals.

I mean that worked for him before the lockout, but once they tightened up the penalties his style was obsolete due to his poor skating, and being a leafs fan I saw that up close.

No one cares

You must be feeling especially proud today......;/
