Remember Rogatien "Rogie" Vachon.
I thought his name was kinda plain in the day, but Johnny Bower was pretty cool.

When I was a young lad and I would play NHL I would always create a player and add him to my team named Tom Bassig. Good old Ontario boy that brought leadership, size and a strong two-way game.
