That's about the best description I've read.
Totally agree about Bossey, of course he had great hands but you have to be able to find an opening too.
To me, LaFleur was a real hockey player. He used to just KILL the Bruins. He came down the wing at full speed and could pick any part of the net to score on. Even when he came back with the Rags I remember looking at my buddy and saying...'he's been out for a while and he's STILL the best guy on the team!"
How many guys today can skate at full speed and shoot at the same time?
Agree about the defensemen too, How many of them hit the net consistantly?
