A resilient, indestructible warrior

peace-loving
the 10-year-old stripling
the little man who could fire the puck with amazing velocity
in a perfect imitation of Bobby Hull
tormented
the sensitive right-winger
the young sharpshooter
the Thurso kid
the talent-laden athlete
the 25-year-old Canadiens hireling
omnipresent
Mozart
some sort of enigma?
a torrential scorer
the peaceful hockey player
the indestructible athlete
a counterfeit hero
the ferocious skater
not made of papier-mâché
the uncontested master
a little boy lost
a perfectionist
the little devil
something of a hockey maniac
