He didn't just score from the crease although he got his share there. One of the strongest guys in the league on the puck, good skater for his size, good both ways and a decent stickhandler. He was probably my first favorite Flyer.
Ah, he fought more then you think. He was by no means a "fighter" but he held his own when the time called. He had more then the average for a non-fighter. He was big, strong and had a tremendous left. I would equate Tim Kerr to Eric Lindros during his time.
