37. Leo Boivin
One of the best checkers of his era, Leo Boivin wasn’t known for scoring with the puck, but was adept at stripping attackers with it with his hard hits and perfectly timed checks.  Boivin was a well respected locker room leader who was the captain of the Bruins for three seasons.  The Defenseman scored 211 Points over 711 Games, and became a Hockey Hall of Fame inductee in 1986.
