One of the so-called bad men of the NHL, Louie the Leaper holds league record for most penalty minutes in a season, 202. Colorful and aggressive, this backliner commands respect by his hard-hitting tactics. He's a fine puck-blocker.
In 69 League games last season, Jean Beliveau won the NHL scoring race. Yet most hockey observers consider this was a poor year for the big centre. His 33 goals and 51 assists for 84 points would normally be accepted as a rather remarkable output, but so much is expected of Beliveau that for him, 84 points is rated an "off year's" production. This is possibly the easiest way to obtain a true picture of the ability Jean possesses.
Nicklas' rookie season was a huge success. He led Sweden to the gold medal at the 1991 World Championships and played in the Canada Cup last fall, then quickly became recognized as one of the best point men to enter the NHL in many years. His blasts from the blueline forced penalty killing units all over the league to key on him and open up more room near the net. His quickness keys Wings' transition game.
