This guy was a great, great defensive defenceman IMO, and I've always thought he was very underrated.
Best known as a Bruin, I remember his short stint with Montreal .... actually giving The Canadiens a "Big 3.5" on defence. He bounced around at the end of his career from team to team, but had already established himself during his prime years.
Was a member of Team Canada '72, and I feel unjustly blamed by some as .... The guy Kharlamov went around to score, turning Game 1 into a Soviet rout.
From what I saw of Awrey, he was very strong positionally, and very difficult to beat. He could also play mean and tough and I feel he should rank very favorably to any other defensive defenceman.
I've always thought he was extremely underrated.
Anyone else?
I agree with you....I thought he was outstanding with Montreal. Our team really jelled once we traded for him. Leave it to Pollock to find the missing piece
