Hockey Player

The Resume

    (December 14, 1966- )
    Drafted by the Boston Bruins as the 52nd overall pick in the 1985 draft
    Member of the Boston Bruins (1985-87), Edmonton Oilers (1987-96), Boston Bruins (1996-97), Washington Capitals (1997-98), Detroit Red Wings (1998-99), Tampa Bay Lighting (1999-99) and Edmonton Oilers (1990-2000)
    Winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy (1989-90)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was traded five times.
    He often times would miss games because of sprained ankles and hamstring injuries.
    'The Sports Forecaster: Hockey' once said of him: 'One of the most overrated goalies. We have to recognize the 12-year veteran has kept goal for some bad teams, but Ranford has never posted a save percentage of over .900 in any given season.'
    His record with the Edmonton Oilers is 167-193-54.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is left handed.
    He made close to two million dollars during the 1996-97 season, which was virtually unheard of during those days in the NHL.
    As a goaltender, he wouldn't leave many rebounds.
    He stopped 9 out of the 11 penalty shots he faced in his career, including ones shot by Alexander Mogilny, Mario Lemieux and Brett Hull.
    He helped lead the Edmonton Oilers to the 1990 Stanley Cup.
