Shares the rookie record with Don Murdoch for goals in a game with 5.
Met him once on the beach at Rathtrevor.
The first NHL analyst with a telestrator. Full of glee doing it spouting "like a hoop around a barrel" and jumping Jehoshaphat!
Recall him once saying that if he found himself about to be in a dust up, best trick was to jam the but end of your stick (still in you hand) as hard as you could into the other guy's grille.

I vaguely remember his name as a broadcaster, but his playing time ended before I was born as well. Based on what I read about him it sounds like he opened the door for the likes of Don Cherry and for that I'm grateful.
