Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
Crowder's first NHL game had a lot going on at the time. It was a playoff game against the Bruins. That's number 1. Number 2:
the Bruins had his brother Keith on the team then.

He was best known as an enforcer, and a moody one at that. If you're apathetic about fighting in hockey, then why are you
doing it? It was for that reason that Crowder was actually retired for most of the 89-90 season.

It wouldn't be the first time, though. After he signed with the Red Wings, he only played 7 games with them before retiring
again... And how big was the contract again? Plus they gave the Devils Dave Barr and Randy McKay for him because he was
an RFA. Oh, clearly, the Wings lost that one.

He came back out again in 1995 with the Los Angeles Kings and only played a handful of games in 2 seasons with them. His
last NHL games would be with Vancouver in 96-97.

He would give Europe a try for the following 2 seasons, finally retiring for good in 1999.
