 Perreault was known as a naturally gifted skater and playmaker who was capable of making an end @-@ to @-@ end rush at any time . His fame was hampered by his own shy personality . His stickhandling and head faking confounded even the best defensive players in the world . Martin was considered the " marksman " of the three who was dangerous with the <unk> and slapshot . Robert was known for his " blinding speed and lethal shot " . He made his mark with the French Connection , as one of the league 's most highly regarded powerplay point men , and on the second line penalty killing unit . He was perhaps the least flashy of the three , but was the most complete . He was the player who checked and worked hard in the corners .
