While the tragic demise of Derek Sanderson has been well-documented, there was a time when he was one of the shining stars of hockey, and that was while wearing a Boston Bruins uniform.  

48. Keith Crowder

Keith Crowder was a good scorer and a player who was brilliant in the corners.  Those are two attributes that made him a popular player in the Boston Gardens in the 1980’s.  It is strange that he is not as remembered as much as he is in Boston.

47. Mike O'Connell

Mike O’Connell was undersized, but he never lacked heart.  O’Connell would become an All-Star in 1984 and a power play staple and would become a very complete player in the six years he was playing for the Boston Bruins.

46. Fred Stanfield

Part of that lopsided trade that brought in Phil Esposito and Ken Hodge, Fred Stanfield was a good forward who assisted the Bruins in winning the 1970 and 1972.  While Stanfield was considered a throw-in on that trade and was often overshadowed in Boston, he was a consistent scorer who had three seasons in a row over 75 Points.
