Reviving this thread, as I feel like now is probably the best time for something like this. Been down a bit of a rabbit-hole today based on this image of Sergei Makarov that I came across on a random IG post:
Based on the Getty Image metadata this was taken on September 24, 1991, during pre-season game against Toronto. What I'm struggling with is who are the players sitting behind Sergei? I think that's Ronnie Stern over his left shoulder (on first glance I thought it was a Sutter brother, but I know it's not). Who are the two players on his right side? I'm totally stumped on this.
Edit: Could the player on the far right be a super young Sandy McCarthy? Without facial hair?
