Fair enough. I forgot that earlier on Brind'Amour was a huge point scorer. Plus he was a Flyer and I hate the Flyers so never followed the team that close. When I was thinking Rod, I was thinking more how you put him out in any defensive face-off position and you knew he was going to win it. He was reliable.
There's another guy whose probably a better comparison for faceoffs and points, however I can't think of his name. He played for Phoenix and Edmonton most recently and was a guy you pick up in the hockey pool just to purely win faceoffs. 3rd line guy, basically out there for every situation. Driving me nuts that I can't remember his name. Spent most of last night and this morning coming up with it and I can't. It's going to drive me nuts.
Edit: Not Gagne. I know it's not Gagne.
