Does any one else remember when Bengt beat the stuffing out of Stan Jonathan, the Fireplug?

I like plain ol’ Gus — or you could just buck the superhero code and reveal your true identity to the world…

@Gus– Just change it to Bengt or Gus. This way you still hold onto it in some way

I foresee a blogger’s name change in the not too distant future.

Gusty’s nickname back when he was played was “Magic” because of the way he could hold on to the puck in traffic. And he was surprisingly strong. Ryan Walter once called him “chicken tough” in that he looked like he was skin and bones, but underneath was all muscle. He was always my favorite Cap, but I often felt he was too laid back, almost as if he was afraid to really play to his potential because then he’d be held to that standard. Still, his innate hockey skill was a thing to behold. Let’s hope Anton has inherited some of it.

Could you imagine what Gus could have done in today’s NHL?
