Hello Hockey Fans!In Episode 4 of Puck Buddies Hockey Podcast we chat with Vancouver Canucks alumnus Dennis Kearns, the Quinn Hughes of the 1970s.The veteran of 677 NHL games finished his career with 321pts, a team record for a Canucks defender at the time. His record has since been tied by Jyrki Lumme and it has been surpassed by only Matthias Ohlund (325pts) & Alexander Elder (389pts & counting). In 1976-77 Mr. Kearns scored 60pts to set a single season team record for points by a defenseman, which stood until the 1986-87 season when it was broken by Doug Lidster. Perhaps most impressively, his 55 assists during the 1976-77 season is a total that has been surpassed by only six other Canucks in franchise history. Andre Boudrias, Thomas Gradin, Cliff Ronning, Markus Naslund and Daniel & Henrik Sedin. Illustrious company for the diminutive defensman.
