Amazingly, he won both the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year and the Vezina Trophy as top goaltender in his first year. Barrasso wound up playing a total of 18 seasons in the league for six different teams, with his most successful years coming in the early 1990s while playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he won a pair of Stanley Cups.
