Ray Bourque will forever be a legend to the city of Boston, the Bruins and the entire NHL.
The longtime defenseman wasn't only a defensive genius but he had an offensive side as well. He showcased those capabilities at 1992 All-Star Game Skills competition during the accuracy shoot:
And it wasn't the only time Bourque went four-for-four on the accuracy shooting.
As a matter of fact, Bourque went on to win or tie for first in five straight accuracy shooting contests from 1997-2001, finishing his career that spring with eight accuracy shooting titles on his Hall of Fame resume.
Only two other players (Mark Messier and Jeremy Roenick) have went four-for-four in NHL history.
