Joe Zanussi left the Detroit Red Wings' organization to sign with the Winnipeg Jets in July 1972. Earning the nicknames of “Crazy Legs” and “Tasmanian Devil” for his wild rushed up the ice, Zanussi was entertaining during his two seasons in Winnipeg and was a regular on the 1972-1973 team that advanced to the inaugural AVCO Cup final.
Following the 1973-1974 season in which he was named the Jets' most exciting player, the Jets released Zanussi and he returned to the NHL, where he played for the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins. |
