I happened to come across this article from The Athletic…..featuring good ole, smooth sailing #27. Yup, Scotty Niedermayer! What a fantastic article. Scotty played the game with what I would call an extremely high level of intelligence, had some out-friggin-standing skating skills, was so damn fast with what looked like barely any effort whatsoever. I still remember that coast to coast goal versus Detroit in the 1995 Finals…and I still have my Niedermayer jersey with a sizeable hole in the front yet I refuse to discard this jersey… I’ve got so many hockey memories when wearing that jersey.
Anyways…check it out for a good read!
