Steve Thomas has something really special going for him. He's from
Stockport, Manchester, England. Yeah!
I think that's reason enough to include him, but here's some info anyway. Steve went ahead of Mario Lemieux in 1999 in overtime goals. He also completed three other feats - his 1,000 regular season NHL game, his 300th as a Leaf, and his 800th NHL point. He was second top Leafs scorer behind Mats Sundin, with 81-26-37. Last season he missed a few games but still posted 57-8-26. In the playoffs he did better, with 11-6-3. If he ever feels like returning to his native turf he's more than welcome at the Storm... |
