The epitome of a "character" guy. Played forward early in his career, was one of the top shutdown pairings in the league for years with Chara/Volchenkov, passed over for the C twice (and I still maintain he would have been the better choice both times) and a class act throughout his career. The sheer exultation of each goal was something to behold, but the 2nd one in his 1000th game was something really special.
I think he would have been the better choice, too.
