Before the season, The Eagle asked Thunder fans on the 20 greatest players for 20 seasons. We’re introducing one weekly throughout the season.
No. 2: Bobby Desjardins
When he turned away the final Tulsa shot to clinch the Thunder’s first CHL championship in 1994, Desjardins finished a remarkable two-year run as the league’s top goaltender. He was Rookie of the Year in 1992-93, the team’s first season, and by the end of 1994 he the league MVP and final remaining original Thunder player. He had goals-against averages of 4.63 and 4.00 before retiring as a player to become assistant coach at Miami (Ohio) while earning his master’s degree.
