Like many Defenceman Gordie Roberts did not light the lamp often, but he did provide offensive spark, providing the Minnesota North Stars with 30 Assists or more five times. Perhaps calling Roberts a “spark” is inaccurate, as he was better classified as a rugged player who could steal the puck and help create a counterattack, something that he did often. While Roberts did not win a Cup with the North Stars, his veteran presence was felt in the Penguins' back-to-back titles.
