Player Discussion: Name a random Jet

[LucianoBorsato]

The goggles, they do nothing!

Ah yes, Andrew McBain. Jets 8th overall pick in '83. Vancouver then drafted Cam Neely at #9

 

[Mariner]

Veli-Pekka Katola, the original Finish flash.

The Neely bit hurts still, but McBain did manage two 30 goal seasons playing with Ducky so there’s that..

The pride of Birtle MB, and one of the best hockey 'staches of all time, Bill Derlago!

Had some really good seasons with the Leafs

Some of these former Jets had pretty good 'staches too...

Terry Ruskowski

Lucien Deblois

Dave Babych

and even Paul MacLean

P.S. Loved those Kraft cards when they came out, they were awesome!

Yeah I had a few of those Kraft cards, but they were actual picture ones in packs of Kraft singles? These sketch ones are pretty cool, I don't remember the set well. Assuming also in packs of processed cheese lol

The guy who Jack Roslovic reminds me of...Brian Mullen

 

[macmaroon]

What about Tom Draper?

Got his autograph at a card show at Grant Park High School when I was a kid. Very nice guy and answered my questions, which was cool.

Daniel Berthiuame was also there with his girlfriend, and when I asked "The Bandit" for his autograph, he just pointed to a pile he had pre-signed. What a *******. Sure didn't think much of him after that...

 

[macmaroon]

The Shannon Brothers, Darryl and Darrin

 

[macmaroon]

How could we forget Serge Savard?

Al Cameron

I only remember him because he was the first Jet I found in a pack of old NHL O-PEE-CHEE cards that I bought when I was a kid. I think I still have the card somewhere...

I used to deliver the Free Press to his place when I was a kid.

I would often see the Bandit at the night club Strawberries surrounded by women with full bottles of champagne at his table.

The Shannon Brothers, Darryl and Darrin

I couldn't even mention what I saw the Shannon brothers doing at the Palimino Club.

How could we forget Serge Savard?

One of my favourites. I bought one of his game used Sheerwood sticks at the old MGM sporting goods and had him sign it. Still a very nice piece of my collection.

Paul Ysebaert

I remember being excited about the acquisition at the time because he had actually scored a few goals for the Wings.
Mostly I was probably just impressed that Mike Smith had actually signed a free agent of note.
