Saw him play on that Calder winning team. Holzinger's 3rd period scoring heroics, Shields' ability to stop pucks, Craig Cherron being found money all season. Yet it was Melanson's hit on Zednik that remains my favorite moment of that playoff run. Like the sound of dropping an equipment bag from a third floor window, it changed how the Pirates played the rest of the series IMO.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time.

Thank you for sharing this. I was a small kid during this run and my parents brought me to the games and I ended up with one of his game sticks one way or another (to young to really remember how) and I ended up wrecking it playing street hockey all summer long with it lol. Stick had to have been twice my own height but I loved it and have always as a result loved him as a player.

One of the nicest guys in the world off the ice, but he was a nasty sob on the ice.

Cool clip from the episode of Rumun talking about playing in Gretzky's final game.

Man, Ndur had some huge hits while he was here. Sadly, only highlights I can find are from his fights.

Ndur was one of my go-to players for physical play in one of the EA NHL games. Can't remember which one. I remember he was like a 50-60 rating but could truck people.

'Nyways, I always enjoy listening to Rumun, he has some very interesting insights.
