I have not heard that name in years and I was a huge fan of his too. He was a great passer and stick handler but maybe the weakest guy to ever play in the NHL.  If you want t small B's player that was tough as nails, remember "the Rat" Ken Linesman? That was one tough little sob.  My idol growing up was Ray Bourque of course, I also loved Gord Kluzak, Rick Middleton, Cam Neely, Jay Murphy,  Keith Crowder,  Mike Krushelniski  etc...  haha... Linsmen... my uncle hated linsmen.. he called him the rat too... i used to think it was just my uncle's nickname for him, but i can see how people thought that... he was one ugly sob. I was really in to bruins hockey around the time that linsmen, neely, borque, murphy, kluzak, middleton, lemelin, moog, and a few others were there. The "lights out" edmonton finals was a heart breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B's were awesome then but the Oilers had the hall of fame team. Gretzky, Kurri, Messier, tikannen, anderson, coffey, lowe, fuhr, etc... I was a huge fan of The rat which was linesman's nickname. he was probably 5 foot 8 150 pounds and he would level people and was in everyones face all the time. He was mean and dirty.

It will take 2005 for the Bulls to get their name out there enough to be included in the 2006 pre-season polls. You know you've got to have that to have any chance to compete for NC .........
