Compare any of the top 6 Sharks forwards now to Friesen then, and I'll take the current crop any day of the week. He worked hard, but even when he was a 60 point guy he was a frustrating player to watch.<BR/><BR/>Nowadays, it looks like he decided to become Pat Faloon 2.0. I mean, would anyone have believed you in 1998 that Shean Donovan has turned into a more valuable forward than Freeze, with triple the points?

The fact that he used to be somebody useful / productive / popular?<BR/><BR/>The real kick in the teeth, though, was his last useful game, which was a certain unmentionable G7 somewhere in the swamps of Jersey.
