This Day In Hockey History (10/8)

Today we have one that spotlights one of the best pure passers of the NHL.  He turned Brett Hull into one whale of a scoring machine and set up many countless others.  This player even was one of the best faceoff men throughout his career and he could pot a few goals here and there when he needed to.  Our moment comes from 14 years ago today and yes it is a milestone.
