Card Notes
Hardly anyone, except for Boston’s Bobby Orr achieved stardom as quickly as Brad. The Rangers grabbed him in an amateur draft in 1966, and he quickly developed into an All-Star. He’s one of the best in the NHL at clearing the puck and he owns a powerful slap shot from the point.
En Français
Brad est devenu très rapidement une vedette. Les Rangers l’obtinrent au repêchage des amateurs de 1966. Il sait très bien sortir la rondelle de sa zone. Lancer frappé puissant à partir de la pointe. Brad est un gars agressif.
