Don't blame the goalie!
By "cool" Im assuming you mean "bad boy cool", like Keith Richards or James Dean?. In hockey, you'd have to go back to at least the 70's, and probably the King of that category would just have to be Derek Sanderson. The $2.75M contract with the Philadelphia Blazers, the Silver Rolls & Fur Coats, the quotable quotes as in his favorite pre-game meal being "a steak and a blonde", the long hair & Frank Zappa mustache', that guy was as "cool" as they came. It was his pass that set-up Orrs' famous goal in 70; though a prolific goal scorer in junior, in the NHL he was a ferocious defensive center & excellent face-off guy. Really a Hell of a player. Sure, he "lost it" and a fortune, along with his health, but he turned himself around (with Orrs' help) & went on to a career advising young athletes with investment planning in partnership with Bobby, lectures on the pitfalls of "wild living" and has given back far more than he was ever given or took from anyone, and thats "cool" in my book.
My dad refers to him as "probably the most underrated of all time", that if it weren't for playing the Mickey Mantle card, he would've got due recognition.
