Unless I'm not seeing an image of one waiting to be answered (my computer sometimes blocks images), here's one (many here are probably too young to remember the guy plus he's a little obscure):

Errol Thompson and Lanny McDonald?

Harold Ballard famous quote the night prior to his game.

Sittler was ruminating about Harold Ballard’s latest headline grab. The owner criticized Sittler’s play with the new captain stuck on one goal in eight games.

“If we could find a centre, for Thompson and McDonald we’d be dynamite,” zinged the boss.

Sittler, who’d played one unremarkable game on a new line with Lanny McDonald and new winger Errol Thompson, had asked coach Red Kelly not to break up the trio for that game.

^ Val James?

Had to look him up but Val James ^^

edit - a tad late

Yes. I remember watching him with the farm team. He never left the bench the whole game and sat there with the meanest looking scowl on his face. Late in the third, coach taps him on the shoulder, he skates a couple strides, gets in a fight and gets booted from the game. Almost like something out of Slapshot.

Cool backstory, since you followed him in the minors do you know why he fought Mike Stothers SEVEN TIMES in the same playoff series? Was there a cheating wife or a racial slur or something? I can't imagine fighting the same guy seven times in a matter of days.
