gold star for USAHOF

49. Barry Gibbs

49. Barry Gibbs
The best run of Barry Gibbs’ career was easily the five and a half seasons where he played for Minnesota.  Gibbs was a bit of an undisciplined blueliner early in his North Stars tenure but he would put together two straight 30 Point seasons where he also reduced his costly penalties that had impeded him earlier in his career.  For his efforts, he would be named an All Star in 1973.
