I commented on what a beast Chris Simon was during the 2004 season during Kipper's jersey retirement ceremony.
Even in '04 he was underrated for what he brought to the team. Chris was one of the few players who had a soft set of mitts that could score on any goalie, and he could also fight anyone in the league and ragdoll most of his opponents.
Condolences to his family, friends, teammates, and all of us who were lucky enough to watch Chris play as he was impossible not to cheer for and admire his unique skill set on the ice.
Gone way too soon and way too young!
You will be missed Chris!
