No question here. Chip in the Masterson as well...

Yep.

If you asked me 30 days ago, I'd agree with you. I now give the nod to
Raymond Bourque; his play took off the same time the B's did. Chelios
gets a close second...

Barrasso finally gets his due, in a close one over Eddie the Eagle...

In *your* case, that bias is acceptable :-)... Mine shows with the Norris pick,
so we're even...
I'm impressed with what all the coaches you mentioned did, but my pick would be
Al Arbour. Not too many folks thought the Isles would be in the playoffs, let
alone contend for 3rd in their division... Granted that they *did* have a little
help from their cousins on Broadway... :-)
And I like the Islanders about as much as I like mowing my lawn...
