 Big Game Hunter
By Mike Vogel
Occasionally in the world of team sports, there are players who come to represent a team so much that the two cannot easily be separated. The player’s attributes become the team’s attributes, so intertwined are the two.
Although he is now a member of the Colorado Avalanche, Ray Bourque is such a player. Think of the Bruins, you think of Ray Bourque. Think of Ray Bourque, you think of the Bruins. Think of Dick Butkus and you think of the Chicago Bears. And you can’t think very long about the Chicago Bears without thinking of Dick Butkus. Cal Ripken and the Baltimore Orioles are similarly intertwined.
And so it is with Dale Hunter. He began his career with the Quebec Nordiques and finished it with the Avalanche. But when you think of Dale Hunter, you think of the Washington Capitals. And when you think of the Capitals, you think of Dale Hunter. |
