Post by: DC_1908 on Monday March 04, 2019, 08:32:51 AM Eastern

NHL All Time Great Ted Linsay dies at 93 (https://amp.freep.com/amp/579477002)

The first one to skate The Cup around the ice.

Started the Players Union.

And at 5’7”, one of the most feared and vicious players ever:
“I played to win,  There where no friends on the ice, only enemies”
Referred to as “a cross between Jack The Ripper and Al Capone”

If this doesn't describe DC's ideal hockey player, nothing does.
