26. Tom Bladon
A member of the Philadelphia Flyers for their two Stanley Cup wins in the 1970’s, Tom Bladon was known for his devastating slapshot and for becoming the first Defenseman to score eight points in a game, which he did in 1977 against the Cleveland Barons. He would also set a record of +10 in that game, which has yet to be equaled. As a Flyer, Bladon had 270 Points over his career with a very strong Plus/Minus of 186 and two All Star Game appearances.
