Famous Pat Verbeek

The only player in NHL history to tally over 500 goals and 2500 penalty minutes, yet somehow isn't in the Hall of Fame. *to be clear, not actually Pat Verbeek*

I accidentally cut off my thumb once. Didn't miss a game. #truegrit

[Famous Pat Verbeek @lilballofhate16]

It's true. I do still have that thumb. I give it one thumb up.

172 - Pat Verbeek

Verbeek played right wing 20 years for 5 teams. He was a 2x All-Star that had a career high here in Hartford in ‘89-‘90 with 44 goals, and 89 points. He won the Cup in Dallas in ‘99. In ‘85 he lost his thumb in an auger accident, but was able to save it.

[UpperDeck1990 @UDeck1990]

An auger is a screw blade that’s used for drilling holes, woodworking, or planting. The word comes old English that became “nauger”. People would say “an nauger”, negating the 2nd n, much in the same way “apron” comes from “napron”, and “adder” from “nadder”. #hockeycards

Most incredible assist I’ve seen…

[Famous Pat Verbeek @lilballofhate16]

It's about time people figured out I am a hockey genius. Maybe I'll make the Hall of Fame yet.

Article:

Before previewing the Ducks upcoming series against the Oilers, I wanted to highlight how GM Pat Verbeek molded this roster to cater expressly to this time of year, specifically the team's present and future core⤵️

Pat Verbeek took over the Anaheim Ducks in 2022 and had them make the playoffs in four seasons. The Ducks entered a rebuild several seasons after the Red Wings did and took fewer seasons to emerge from the rebuild as a playoff team.

No more excuses for Steve Yzerman. He failed.

[DieselCane @DieselCane22]

I cannot believe how badly Pat Verbeek fleeced Danny Briere in the Cutter Gauthier trade.

[Famous Pat Verbeek @lilballofhate16]

That was good, wasn't it?

[Alan Ranta DOT bsky.social @alanranta]

Pat Verbeek is a goddamn genius. I love this move.

@RunninWithNJD @HockeyHallFame @lilballofhate16 Also, Devils alum/draft pick, 522 goal scorer and Stanley cup winner, Pat Verbeek is definitely deserving of the HHOF too!

Good to see pieces of hockey history in a museum, where they belong.

[Hockey Hall of Fame @HockeyHallFame]

Olympians Aneta Tejralová (Czechia) and Alex Carpenter (USA) of PWHL Seattle Torrent helped unveil the Olympics ’26 Exhibit today.

The display features artifacts from participating countries including the Golden Goal pucks from both the Women’s and Men’s overtime Gold Medal games.🏒

[Famous Pat Verbeek @lilballofhate16]

Gotta say, I'm doing a pretty good job with the Ducks.

[Anaheim Ducks @AnaheimDucks]

“The guys did a hell of a job.”

@spittinchiclets Easily Pat Verbeek. How he's not in the HOF is a complete mystery

[Alan Ranta DOT bsky.social @alanranta]

So many bot likes... is anyone still here? Or is it mostly bots and ads now?

[Ste Ven @StevenMToga]

Pat Verbeek needs to be on that list

Especially over Holik
