He didnt say he was a legend, just that he was a quality player (going by that post, i dont remember if he called him a legend in a previous post). Davyduke was still my favourite of the pair though. I didn't say he'd called him a legend. It's all about personal opinion, but i'd be looking for someone that played more than 14 games before I was listing him along with Kuznik as quality guys we've signed. Medak was a quality player. Just because he didn't play a lot of games doesn't make him any less of a player.

we have had great quality players at the club all through the era's let's hope it continues and we end up with some more quality of tyhe brit kind from our juniors in the near future as well but until that is achieved i do think we should be going full import quota

Regardless of how many games he played for us he was still a quality player along with his mate Davyduke. And to be honest if they were on this team they would be the two top players.

Kevsmith/penguin, each to their own. A good player, there's no doubt about that. Not someone I was still talking about him 5 years later tho. Just my opinion.

The folding of the BNL, immediately after the season in which Medak and Davyduke played, in my opinion changes the way we remember them as players, with import hockey not being played again in Kirkcaldy for 6 seasons.
For me, they should not be mentioned before guys like Monteith, who scored 156 goals in 151 games for us. His temperament was just as important as his goal scoring, the epitome of the Fife way, get your revenge by scoring a goal.
Also, Dan Goneau, with 60 points in 35 games during our league winning season was true class. His skating speed was breathtaking and when he was on, he was miles above any other player in the league. Easy to see why NYR fans say only his attitude stopped him from making it in the NHL after 5 goals in his first 5 NHL games.

Very true Federov Goneau was something special. Not many guys in our league could have been players in the NHL had they had the heart and drive to be successful. Goneau was a phenomenal player and Mo got him going for us.

Davyduke and Medak have been overrated if you ask me. They didn't stand out above guys like Goneau, Monreith, Morrison, Morris, Dutiaume, Biette, etc

Goneau was a different class. If he was around today he'd be a top player in this league. In fact he was too good for UK hockey. It was the shoulder injury that held back his career

If others rate him so highly, that's fine with me.
