Original Toronto Star caption: 28 Brian Curran. He was obtained from New York Islanders late last season to add a physical presentce to a team desperately in need to one with the loss of Wendel Clark and Chris Kotsopoulos . . . Played with a face shield to protect a broken jaw, but he'll abandon it this season . . . Unusual skating style . . .
