Lost amongst the many posts that create my year by year Stanley Cup capsules are many new profiles. Here's eight from recent posts.
| Bill Barilko - Is there a bigger playoff legend in Toronto than Bill Barilko? |
| Les Costello - Les Costello passed up a big league career to become a priest. |
| Roger Crozier - Roger Crozier was a stand out goalie in the 1968 Stanley Cup playoffs |
| Gerry Heffernan - A great amateur player in the city, Gerry Heffernan was a nice addition to Montreal's 1944 Stanley Cup championship team. |
| Elmer Lach - All of the spotlight went to Elmer Lach's wingman - Rocket Richard. But Lach, too, was a great hockey player.. |
| Gary "Cobra" Simmons - Gary Simmons was an under-appreciated goalie who was best remembered for his Cobra mask. |
| Tod Sloan - A cousin of Dave Keon, Tod Sloan was similiarly small but resilient and an intelligent hockey player. |
| J.C. Tremblay - Of all the great defensemen in hockey history, history disrespects Jean Claude Tremblay the most. |
