The Playmaker makes ALL of us LOOK GOOD.
The Playmaker is almost as unselfish as the grinder, but he sees the ice differently.
The Playmaker's not the President, but he's not an empty-suit Vice President either. He's more like a really powerful Secretary of State or Chief of Staff.
The Playmaker gets a point for each assist.
Because in hockey, as well as other things, an assist can be more beautiful than a goal.
