Haaaaaaarold.......
This is a good subject because most of our favourite players aren't neccesarily the stars because they don't command the big free agent buck$$$, they tend to stay with our team a little longer than most. My favs.......
#27-Harold Snepts. Worked his *** off. Wasn't on the ice for many goals against. And didn't really need to wear a helmut because there weren't too many players silly enough to pick a fight with him.
#30- Rogie Vachon. If you were ever lucky enough to see this "elf" play goal, you'll know what I'm talking about. Covered barely a third of the net, never gave up on a shot, and when he stoned a guy on a breakaway he had that great mask that was laughing back at the shooter. Can't believe he's not in the Hall.
#12-Stan Smyl. See above (Harold) although he did wear a helmut, not too many players wanted to be embarrased by the Steamer when the gloves came off.Was the last player in the league to lead his team in goals,assists,points and penalty minutes all in the same season.
#30- Ron Low. I remember the Capitals disaster first season when Low had an average of (5.45 I think). He would lose 8-1 and his team would swarm him after a game thanking him for keeping it 'close'. Usually had 45 shots per game on him.
Finally my favourite......#16 Trevor Linden. I can't remember him ever giving less than a full effort, even in trying times (the last couple of seasons). A class act and quiet leader.
