Ah, the cameo appearance. What do I mean? A cameo is one where a player who has long-standing ties with one organization suddenly appears with another organization for a brief time (Michael Jordan with the Washington Wizards, Joe Montana with the Kansas City Chiefs, Pete Rose with the Montreal Expos and so on). I challenge all you hockey fans to come up with the most bizarre cameo a player has made in the NHL.
My nominee: Luc Robitaille, who is more familiar for his service with the Los Angeles Kings. However, Lucky Luc has made three cameos: a season (more like a half-season due to the lockout in 1994-95) with the Pittsburgh Penguins (and a memorable appearance in "Sudden Death"), two seasons as Mark Messier's left wing on the New York Rangers, and another two seasons spend in Motown with the Detroit Red Wings. Those cameos were the meat in the service sandwich Robitaille made with three separate stints wearing purple and gold (black and silver, black and purple, etc.). Enjoy!
