Return #83
An undrafted free agent signed by the Montreal Canadiens Vincent Riendeau spent his first couple seasons in the minors. After being dealt to the Blues Riendeau finally got his shot at starting in his first NHL game, but he took a hard shot off the shoulder in warm ups and was shut down. On another occasion he was his in the throat by a shot off of Charlie Huddy's stick. He went on to become the first Canadian hockey player to leave the NHL for the Russian Super league; I asked him in my letter if he liked playing in Russia or the NHL better, he circled the NHL. Today Riendeau is the Assistant GM, and goaltending consultant of the Habs farm team, the Hamilton Bulldogs.
