1. I've played for five NHL teams.
2. I was drafted by the Devils but didn't start my career with them.
3. Two of the NHL teams I played with I am the all-time leader in this single season statistic.
4. My career high in goals and points came in the inaugural season of one of the teams I played with.
5. An injury abruptly ended my career

 

[Zippy316]

I figured with the season ended I will bump this thread starting with my last post.

And I will be in it too because I have no idea who my last person is. Nevermind, I figured this one out. It isn't too hard either to be honest, if you look at the right angle.

 

[SeidoN]

off the top of my head, Mike Peluso? I imagine he led his teams in PIMS and I think the rest fit

And it's solved.

I thought that one was a bit challenging but easy enough to figure out off the top of your head.

well I remember reading about the injury, and the fact the Devils drafted him. then I figured the team-leading stats might be PIMS. I kinda just assumed the others fit haha

Dan McGillis???

He was cut after Lou was caught napping during the second lockout. He played for the Flyers, Devs, Oilers, and a couple of other teams. And the Flyers "sucked" while he was there.

1. Played for the Oilers, Flyers, Sharks, Bruins, and Devils

4. Finished his career playing for Adler Mannheim of the German Elite League
5. Drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the 10th round, 238th overall in the 1992 Draft.
6 .Made it out of the second round in 2000. Ran into the Devils buzzsaw in the Conference final when they decided to play after game 4 down 3-1 in the series. Patrik Elias, "The Flyer Killer" gets both goals in a 2-1 win. McGillis a -1

Lou napping? is that an age thing?

He will try to bring his son in, major mistake.
