One of the few players in franchise history who has played more than 1,000 Games, Don Sweeney was a player who was content to stay out of the spotlight, and bring his lunchpail like work ethic to the defensive side of the ice, which was a job he performed very well. Sweeney would actually lead the NHL in Defensive Point Shares in the 1992/93 season.
Sweeney was adept at checking, was dedicated to the team and was well respected by the intelligent fans of the Bruins, even though he would be largely anonymous outside of that fan base.
