Denis Savard ...... and it's his birthday today:
Love it!
Dan Kelly always said Savard was the most exciting player he ever saw and more exciting than Wayne Gretzky. Someone asked Kevin Lowe who the most dangerous player was during his time and he said without question "Denis Savard" his quote was "He will pick your pocket". Imagine Savvy without a 2 line pass and or 3 on 3? just wow.
No player, not Mario, Gretzky, Kane nor anyone could do the things that Savvy could do. I remember his one handed stick handling move he did in Pitt one night, he then dished to Larms and he put it in easily, Foley went absolutely nuts.
One night in the old barn the Hawks were playing the Sabres and he lifted the faithful to their feet, that's how long he had the puck, what a moment. Will never see another like Savvy.
