| #51 - Phil Kessell |
Phil Kessel have Leafs fans taking the paper bags off their heads and once again annoying non-Leafs fans everywhere. Kessel is on pace for 137 goals and 219pts. Totals that are a far cry from his career highs of 36 goals and 64 points.
The Leafs are off to a 3-0-0 start in 2011-12. It's the Leafs best starts since they went 4-0-0 in 2010-11, a season in which they missed the playoffs... again.
Ron Hextall burst onto the NHL scene in 1986-87. As a rookie, Hextall led the league in wins (37), won the Vezina trophy, and won the Conn Smythe as he led the Philadelphia Flyers to game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. The Flyers lost to the Edmonton Oilers and Hextall, or the Flyers, would not make it back to the Stanley Cup Finals until a decade later in 1996-97, where they were swept by the Detroit Red Wings.
Ron Hextall is most know for being the first goalie to actually shoot and score a goal in the NHL (regular season and then in the play-offs) and having a mean streak. Ron Hextall holds the record for PIM by a goalie for career (584), single season (113), career playoffs (115) and single playoff season (43).

This is a great tribute video. Really shows some of the great saves Hextall made, his two goals and also his famous mean streak.
