		Rafalski is evidence that even now the pros overlook someone, that someone can still make it if he perseveres and even if he was once discarded because of his size.
		Long before Rafalski found fame with the New Jersey Devils, where he leads all National Hockey League defencemen in scoring in the playoffs, he was a good but not great college player who came out of the University of Wisconsin to find no one in the NHL wanted him.
		Rafalski excels in getting the puck moving up the ice and he is dangerous when he jumps into the rush, coming up as a trailer to finish off a scoring play with a shot from the high slot.
