Kevin Lowe is the exact opposite of Paul Coffey; Coffey was constantly leaving his position to get into the action while in the opponent's zone. Lowe stood his ground and has earned the title of the most defensive defensesman in the Oilers' Dynasty.
Kevin Lowe was in every year of the Oilers' Dynasty. He came to Edmonton in 1979, and was dealt to the New York Rangers in 1993, during the time the Oilers were rebuilding. He is now again playing for the Oilers. However, he has missed most of the 1997-98 season with an inner ear infection. Because of the infection, Kevin became dizzy easily and could not skate.
As for the Stanley Cups he won, all Kevin had to say was, "Getting there (the NHL) is a long, hard road traveled. Once there, the dream expands." Well, he has accomplished his newfound dream.
