I know about the rookie goal record in which everyone in Winnipeg went nuts over and, of course, never lost his edge when he was eventually traded to Anaheim. Scoring goal #600, in a Duck uniform, is something of a really high point for me this season, compared to the rest of the season...ugh...

Another one would be Scott Spezio, reason being is that he hit a three-run shot in game 6, quite possibly the greatest game 6 I've seen in baseball (it helps a lot when you're an Angel fan). Maybe it's the power of the almighty Rally Monkey, but in either case, that 8th-inning rally propelled the Angels to win the game 6-5 to force a game 7, which they won 4-1 to win the World Series, which would be the first in the Angels franchise history. Since then, all they do is win division titles and get first round exits from the Red Sox (except 2005 and 2009...Anaheim never faced the BoSox in 2005, and they actually swept them in 2009).
Two great players for sure. I always liked Teemu as well. The fact that he scored the 76 goals on a team that wasn't looked to highly of back then was quite impressive, with a celebration that was just as memorable as Theo Fleury's.
