So Cal's All-Time Roster: No. 92
No. 92:
Our pick:
==Rick Tocchet, Kings (1994-'96)
A reach, for sure, but it would be criminal to leave him off this roster. His stop with the Kings for two seasons, which resulted in a total of 31 goals and 40 assists, plus grinding out 187 in penalty minutes, was brief compared to his time in Philadephia (eight seasons), Pittsburgh (three seasons), Boston (two seasons), Washington (one season), Phoenix (three seasons) and back with Philly (the last three) before retiring in '02.
Then he showed up as a bench coach for former Kings teammate Wayne Gretzky, and all hell broke loose.
In Feb., 2006, he was served with a criminal complaint, accused of financing a nationwide sports gambling ring based in New Jersey. Somehow Mrs. Gretzky got linked to it. Eventually, Tocchet plead guilty to conspiracy and promoting gambling and got two years probation in exchange for his plea. Last we heard of him, he went to the World Series of Poker in Vegas last July and survived the first day, but didn't come back for the second day.
Other No. 92s:
None.
Sports Illustrated's pick for the all-time No. 92: Reggie White over Michael Strahan
