Henri’s style of play was very different from Maurice, as he was more of a playmaker and would twice lead the NHL in assists. The Centre was named to Post Season All Star teams four times, but most impressive his record eleven Stanley Cups as a player; a feat that is unlikely ever to be matched. We bet that Maurice (and every other man who played in the NHL) wished he had as many rings!
