After three uneventful seasons with the Boston Bruins, where he struggled to find playing time, Bill Goldsworthy first made heads turn in the 1967-68 postseason, where he led in Goals and Points.  Now a bona fide starter with the North Stars, Goldsworthy would net 30 or more Goals in six of seven seasons, finishing as high as 48 in the 1973-74 campaign.  The four-time All-Star would become a fan favorite with his “Goldy Shuffle”, a celebration that he showcased after he scored a goal, essentially a precursor to the modern celebrations of today.

Brad McCrimmon was an underappreciated Defenceman in terms of his overall performance in the NHL.  While he played for seven NHL teams, he is (or at least should be)  best known for his time in Calgary, where he helped the Flames win the Stanley Cup and was the NHL leader in Plus/Minus.  That year he was also named a Second Team All-Star.

Bobby Baun reminds us a lot of Paul Henderson in that he is best known for one game.  Baun fractured his ankle early in Game 3 of the 1964 Stanley Cup Championship but returned to the ice to score the game-winning goal against the Detroit Red Wings and would help Toronto win the Cup that year.
