A little bit o' ice hockey history while the playoffs are on.
Alex Delvecchio is a name that not many hockey fans recognize, yet he's the greatest star that the NHL has ever ignored. He played for 24 years in the shadow of Gordie Howe on the Detroit Red Wings, and in 1,529 games he scored 456 goals, 825 points, and won three Lady Byng Trophies for gentlemanly play. Also in that span of time, he was selected for the All-Star game *once*. As an alternate.

He replaced Sid Abel on the Production Line (the best of the line nicknames, I think).
