On a completely unrelated note...
I was listening to a hockey show up here and someone brought up the fact that Gretsky once commented that the sweetest hands he had ever seen belonged to the Magic Man, Kent Nilsson. Apparently, Nilsson could, from the opposing blue line, hit a pop can resting on the cross bar. HNIC got a wind of this and wanted to get it on TV show the camera crew showed up and he did it on his first take.
686 points in 553 games, and still holds Flames' records in most assists and points in one season. Everyone I've ever heard speak of him always comment that he had as much talent as Wayne but very little heart and only played when he wanted to.
