Ten NHL veterans hoping to lift the Stanley Cup for the first time this spring Globe_Sports
37, 13 seasons Smith arguably has his best chance at a Cup with Calgary after years in Dallas, Tampa Bay and Arizona. He has played just 19 career playoff games with 16 of those coming in the Phoenix Coyotes’ run to the 2012 Western Conference Final. Things weren’t looking good for the Kingston, Ont., native early in the season when he got injured and lost his starting job to David Rittich, but he’s bounced back to retake the No.
Thornton has 123 points in 160 playoff games, but the closest he ever came to winning a Cup was three years ago when his Sharks bowed out in the finals against Pittsburgh. The St. Thomas, Ont., native missed last year’s post-season, sidelined with a knee injury, but came back on a one-year contract in an attempt to capture what has eluded him his entire career.
