1988-1989 got to see Chychrun against Rangers and thought he was very good. Had seen Crowder in Utica and once or twice on the tube in the 1987-88 Devil Playoff run, thought he was big but slow and goofy
Think this happened the next year. Would have bet on Chychrun when the gloves dropped, sure got that wrong...
From my days watching the Whalers - think I had seen Gino only once [if I recall correctly ESPN vs. Hawks Cam Russell]. Rarely saw Kastellic clearly win, and was always afraid when the Bruins came in that Byers would land one of the upper-cuts he threw at Ed. This one I got right, and not as bad a beating as I expected...
All the best.
