And I’d add his gutsy performance in game 5 of the cup finals when he scored two in a losing cause to the list. Especially his short-handed roof job on Giguere directly after the deflating Chris “Steve Smith” Phillips fiasco. The rest of the team had already collapsed, and yet it was non other than Alfie who went down with a fight.

The moment that always strikes me about alfie was after the brutal first round sweep by the leafs in 2001, when he came out into the hallway outside the dressing room after the game to do interviews. He looked like he just wanted to crawl away and die, but he stood there, alone, shielding his teammates from unanswerable questions after their worst defeat ever. I thought that was about the most remarkable display of leadership I had ever seen.
