Bryan Hextall is the patriarch to one of the greatest hockey families ever. They should put Ronnie in just for his rookie year Vezina & losing team Conn Smythe, not to mention career numbers: 2 G 36 A 829 PIM.. as a goalie! Drew more heat as a player than Crosby ever could. I remember fans having to be restrained by security after road games because they wanted a piece of him. If thats not enough, he also revolutionized the position of goaltender. No Hexy, No Brodeur. A dying breed for sure…until they ‘void the zoid’. Anyway, Bourque needed to bulk up and earn his chops in Hershey. Caps’ team management was a little shaky this season, especially early on. He is talented and head strong. He will develop into a solid NHL player soon enough. His younger brother Ryan (spitting image of Raym) was drafted by the Rangers in 2009.

His preseason play was really pretty good, certainly better than Eakin’s. In fact, I’m pretty surprised that he wasn’t in on opening night.
& Now they trade him to Boston!?! and for who??? I know the Caps need a center but something tells me this guy ain’t it.
Let’s just hope this isn’t a sign of things to come for the Caps this summer.

I’m baffled. He’s clearly got SOME talent. You’d think he’d have been able to stabilize a lower-level position with a team like the Caps.
