But there is a difference between being charged and actually found guilty of it. Was he found guilty? This just mentioned he was charged.O.J. was charged with double murder but he wasn't proven guilty. So he didn't do it. By the way i'd insert a ninja here but I'm on my phone and i forget how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 thanks Rux... I thought I remembered that he was charged after he was traded.But does anyone know if he was found guilty? Charges don't mean a whole lot without the verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Knut Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Howe. Like Brett Hull, that guy had a hell of a shadow to play his way out from under and he did just that in a truly great fashion. He deserves every bit of recognition he has received and should have been inducted into the HOF sooner, but well rounded D men who don't put up Coffey numbers or win multiple cups don't necessarily get the love they should. Who is the greatest Flyers Dman in franchise history? Thoughts? I would say Mark Howe. From 1982-1992, he totaled 197 goals, 545 assists for 742 points. My top 5 would be 1) Howe 2) Desjardins 3) Timonen 4) Moose Dupont 5) Kjell Samuellson. Howe would have won at least two Norris Trophies back then, but played in an era with Coffey and Bourque. Howe was such an excellent skater, passer and had a great wrist shot. He was also a good defender on an excellent defensive team in the 1980s. Pronger would've been on this list but didn't play long enough in Orange and Black. It was a toss-up between Samuellson and Jimmy Watson, but I gave Kjell the nod.
