| Belfour's intangibles huh? He's a great goalie, but every once in
awhile he gets so coked out he'll do some really stupid shit. I
remember one time he made a glove save and then just threw the puck
over his shoulder into his own net. You gotta shake your head at that
kind of behaviour. As for best player, you gotta think Bourque. Best D
in the game hands down. Bourque and Lindros on D was the best combo
you could get. Who needs forwards when you have those guys as your D?
