SMILING SVEHLA

Robert Svehla was known throughout his career for shying away from media attention. So how did the defenseman react to the spotlight of his first-ever All-Star Game? “I think Robert’s enjoying this,” said teammate and fellow All-Star John Vanbiesbrouck. Head coach Doug MacLean agreed, noting with a laugh that he saw Svehla “smile a couple of times” at the festivities. Perhaps one of those smiles was when the defenseman posed for this shot.
