In his magnificent junior career, Luc played in games recording goals, assists for points! Doubts of his skating ability still plagued him but he managed to shake that reputation in as he won the Calder trophy as the National Hockey League's best rookie, outdistancing Flyers rookie goalie Ron Hextall in voting.

Robitaille made up for any skating deficiencies with one of the most accurate shots in NHL history. He was a regular leader in shooting percentage, thanks to a number of reasons. He worked himself into high percentage scoring areas, often down low and in tight.

Though a defender might have been draped all over him, he always kept his stick unchecked. He would release his shot in the blink of an eye, usually just burying passes and rebounds with no backswing at all. There was no sophomore jinx for Lucky Luc, either, as he improved his performance in year 2 to 53 goals and points and was named to the NHL's First All Star Team for the first of 4 times. Robitaille's best season came in when he established NHL records for goals 63 and points by a left winger and was named the Kings MVP as he elevated his game to the highest level as Wayne Gretzky missed half the season with a back injury.

Robitaille also served as team captain during Gretzky's absence. Robitaille, an under-noticed physical player, continued to be almost unquestioningly the league's best left winger for 8 seasons, consistently scoring goals. He scored at least 44 goals in 8 consecutive seasons only Gretzky and Mike Bossy had better streaks , and also managed to shake his playoff jinx as he became a genuine playoff threat in with 12 goals in 12 games and in when he was a major part of the Kings "Cinderella" Cup run.

Just one year after coming so close to winning Lord Stanley's Grail, the Kings missed the playoffs. Face Masks. Best Duos. Gift Cards. Hottest Edits. Boyfriend Fits. Younger Kids Yrs. Older Kids Yrs. Kids Clothing. Kids Footwear. Kids Headwear. Kids Accessories. Popular Brands.
