McRae vs Stern

[PandoraJam]

March 10th, 1991

Born in St. Agathe, Quebec, Ron Stern played three seasons with the QMJHL's Longueuil Chevaliers, leading his team to the 1987 Memorial Cup tournament.

After three successful seasons in Longueuil, Stern split his first season of professional hockey with the IHL's Flint Spirits and the AHL's Fredericton Express while suiting up for the Vancouver Canucks for 15 games. Drafted by the Canucks in the fourth round of the 1986 NHL Entry Draft, Stern spent parts of four seasons with the Canucks organization before joining the Calgary Flames in the latter stages of 1990-91.

The rugged winger spent parts of seven seasons in Calgary before joining the San Jose Sharks in the summer of 1998. Stern's career came to an end following San Jose's 1999-00 season. Throughout his career, Ron Stern played in over 600 NHL games.

While skating for the London Knights of the OHA, Basil McRae looked like a quintessential power forward who could score goals, throw checks, and win fights. In 1981, he jumped the Quebec Nordiques where, for the next six seasons, he shuttled between the minors and the majors, making stops with the Leafs and Wings as well as a second round with the Nordiques.

It wasn't until McRae signed as a free agent with the Minnesota North Stars in 1987, however, that he became an NHL regular. Landing smack in the middle of what was called the "Chuck" Norris division, McRae launched himself into a boiling pot of rivalries held within the division. With the North Stars, he became a fan favourite who racked up an average of 313 penalty minutes per season, during his five-year stint with the team.

McRae prided himself as an enforcer who always worked at improving his limited skills as a two-way player. He also played an honest game, respecting the rules whenever possible. He counts himself as a success, having lasted 16 seasons as an NHLer with throngs of critics, fans, and foes left in his path.

In 1992, McRae broke his leg and was then left unprotected in the Expansion Draft that transported him to Tampa Bay. There he broke his leg again before being shipped to St. Louis where he settled in for one final big-league run. He then put in eight games with the Blackhawks before retiring in 1996.

Stern and Macrae also fought in Vancouver when Basil was on Minnesota. It was pretty even with perhaps a slight edge to Stern.

Man did Basil tattoo Stern with some shots there or what? Good scrap, and the win goes to Basil.
