Johnny Gottselig was born in Russia in 1905, but he moved to Canada early in his childhood and picked up the game of hockey which was a great decision for the youngster.
Gottselig joined the Chicago Blackhawks very early in franchise history scoring 5 times in the 1928-29 season.
The next season he scored 21 times with only 4 assists, so I guess you could compare him to Brandon Pirri as just an offensive threat that couldn’t play a 200 foot game which would have drove Joel Quenneville crazy 80 plus years ago.
His game rounded out and he was on the ice for the 1934 Stanley Cup championship.
