Murray Oliver was a sweet playmaker who many regarded as the master of the “fake pass”.  Oliver was used equally on the power play and penalty kill and an above average hockey IQ.  The Centre would be named to five All Star Teams (four with Boston and one with Toronto) and he would amass over 700 Points in the NHL.  Arguably, Oliver is not nearly as remembered as someone who was a five-time All-Star should be as he was only on four teams who made the Playoffs.
