And don’t forget, Phil Housley did some of that damage on behalf of the Calgary Flames.
The 51-year-old Housley, who spent parts of five NHL campaigns — over two separate stints — at the Saddledome, was named Monday to the Hockey Hall of Fame’s Class of 2015.
“In U.S. hockey, there’s only a handful of guys — with maybe a couple of fingers cut off — that could create the offence that Howie did in the years that he played, even later on in his career,” said former Flames bench boss Brian Sutter, who coached Housley in both Calgary and Chicago.
