gold star for USAHOF

Syd Howe

A very consistent producer for the Detroit Red Wings, Syd Howe (no relation to Gordie Howe) bounced around the NHL a bit before landing in Michigan. Howe was not just a good scorer; he was adept at penalty killing, playmaking and defensive checking. We almost wish that he didn’t have the last name of Howe, so that he would not be in the shadows of Gordie.
