This is Cole's dad, right?
Sillinger was a decent player, too. I picked him twice in my hockey draft pool and both times he was ahead of the average for his draft pick position.
A video about Michel Petit, please.
Langcow was a "star " on Philly??
Dude averaged <20 goals, and around 50 pts. That's barely cracking the lineup. He did play much better when he was on Calgary but that was 5 years later
