<h2 id="playing-career">Playing career</h2> <p>Propp started his career with the <a href="/facts/Melville_Millionaires/foA9B8LV">Melville Millionaires</a> of the <a href="/facts/Saskatchewan_Junior_Hockey_League/0oDDmMLC">Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League</a>. With the Millionaires, he broke the scoring record with 76 goals and 92 assists for 168 points in 57 games,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> playing on a line with Kelly Dean and Dwaine Turberfield. </p><p>He then moved on to the <a href="/facts/Brandon_Wheat_Kings/HIVDQW83">Brandon Wheat Kings</a> of the <a href="/facts/Western_Hockey_League/uXc53msc">WHL</a>, a team that featured future NHL players <a href="/facts/Brad_McCrimmon/SrpYKxRP">Brad McCrimmon</a>, <a href="/facts/Bill_Derlago/sP4CFc0e">Bill Derlago</a>, <a href="/facts/Laurie_Boschman/bDFz1Cox">Laurie Boschman</a>, <a href="/facts/Dave_Semenko/sRD0mLbn">Dave Semenko</a>, <a href="/facts/Glen_Hanlon/MFFk5cTx">Glen Hanlon</a>, <a href="/facts/Ray_Allison/BFpLckX4">Ray Allison</a>, and <a href="/facts/Walt_Poddubny/75jq6mFy">Walt Poddubny</a>. Propp won two league scoring titles. At the end of his third season, he was drafted 14th overall by the <a href="/facts/Philadelphia_Flyers/glDz9uuE">Philadelphia Flyers</a> in the <a href="/facts/1979_NHL_Entry_Draft/oIPKjlaF">1979 NHL Entry Draft</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> <h3>Philadelphia Flyers</h3> <p>Propp made the Flyers the next season, debuting in <a href="/facts/1979%25E2%2580%259380_NHL_season/3xcyb23J">1979</a>. Against the <a href="/facts/New_York_Islanders/e19j7neY">New York Islanders</a>, in his first career game, Propp had an assist and scored the game-winning goal for a 2-point night. For his first 20 games, he played on a line with <a href="/facts/Reggie_Leach/nb82CJKQ">Reggie Leach</a> and <a href="/facts/Bobby_Clarke/eQozdR8u">Bobby Clarke</a>, before being put on a line with <a href="/facts/Ken_Linseman/5sJDx8HU">Ken Linseman</a> and <a href="/facts/Paul_Holmgren/K8AJMkmP">Paul Holmgren</a>. It would not be the last time Propp played with two elite players, as he played with <a href="/facts/Wayne_Gretzky/romlH4Jm">Wayne Gretzky</a> and <a href="/facts/Mario_Lemieux/1BH7chpf">Mario Lemieux</a> for most of the 1987 <a href="/facts/Canada_Cup_(ice_hockey)/RmHTPE0K">Canada Cup</a>-winning Canadian team. </p><p>In his rookie season, Propp would go on to beat <a href="/facts/Rick_Martin/75GVI1XU">Rick Martin</a>'s left-wing rookie scoring record with 75 points in the 1979–80 season. In the 1980 playoffs, he led the all-rookie left wingers in goals (5), assists (10), and points (15), which the Flyers lost in Game 6 of the <a href="/facts/1980_Stanley_Cup_Finals/sB0r2HaL">Stanley Cup Finals</a>. </p><p>In <a href="/facts/1986%25E2%2580%259387_NHL_season/h8YIYFBt">1987</a>, Propp had scoring success when he finished runner-up to Wayne Gretzky in the 1987 Playoff scoring. He also led all left wingers that NHL post-season in games played (26), goals (12), assists (16), points (28), plus/minus (+11), power-play goals (5), short-handed goals (1), game-winning goals (3), and shots (104). The Flyers, though, eventually lost to the Oilers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. </p><p>In Game 1 of the <a href="/facts/1988%25E2%2580%259389_NHL_season/dHXeXWHn">1989</a> Stanley Cup playoff series against the <a href="/facts/Montreal_Canadiens/tK3Td6zc">Montreal Canadiens</a>, which the Flyers lost in Game 6, Propp sustained a concussion from an unpenalized hit by Montreal defenseman <a href="/facts/Chris_Chelios/n8J9clA8">Chris Chelios</a>. Chelios hit him with his elbow and Propp fell to the ice, hitting his head against the ice. Though Propp missed only one game, his teammates maintained their anger at Chelios. Finally, with 1:37 left in regulation in Game 6, Flyer goaltender <a href="/facts/Ron_Hextall/X6nff2ww">Ron Hextall</a> took matters into his own hands, slamming Chelios into the boards and pummeling him with blows, apparently in retaliation for the hit on Propp. Eventually, Hextall was suspended for 12 games.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> This incident, as well as other injuries, continued to plague Propp throughout his career. Before the concussion incident, Propp was having a career playoff performance with 14 goals in his team's first 15 games and more than 1.5 points per game. </p><p>It took him until his 11th season to score fewer than 65 points in a season, and that was the very same year when he was traded away by the Flyers. </p><p>In the 1980s, he led all left wingers in the NHL and was ranked first in 10 different categories: games played (750), assists (465), plus/minus (+308), game-winning goals (55), shots (2529), defensive point shares (16.0), playoff goals (52), playoff points (112), playoff power-play goals (18), and playoff shots (267). </p><p>Propp was ranked 2nd in goals (356), points (821), even-strength goals (238), shorthanded goals (20), goals created (322), offensive point shares (54.4), point shares (70.4), playoff games played (116), playoff assists (60), playoff plus/minus (+17), playoff even-strength goals (31), and playoff shorthanded goals (3). In all of the major categories in the regular season and playoffs, he has made the top 3 among left wingers a remarkable 29 times in that decade. </p> <h3>Boston Bruins</h3> <p>With the Flyers struggling and general manager Bob Clarke wanting to re-tool the club to get younger, Propp was traded at the 1990 trade deadline to the Boston Bruins where he joined long-time Flyer teammate <a href="/facts/Dave_Poulin/SMEG9Nol">Dave Poulin</a> who had been dealt there six weeks before. With the Bruins, he joined the first-place team in the league and contributed 12 points in the final 14 games of the regular season. Propp, who was a pending free agent unlikely to return to Philadelphia the next season, appreciated former teammate Clarke sending him to a top team. "Clarkie did me a favor trading me to where we had a chance to win."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> The Bruins continued their success in the post-season and made a run to the Stanley Cup Finals where they ultimately fell to the Edmonton Oilers. Propp chipped in four goals and 12 points in 20 playoff games. </p><p>That summer, as a free agent, Propp decided to leave the Bruins and sign with the Minnesota North Stars. </p> <h3>Minnesota North Stars</h3> <p>After his former club, the Philadelphia Flyers, missed the playoffs for the first time eighteen years following his trade, general manager Bob Clarke was fired and soon became the general manager of the <a href="/facts/Minnesota_North_Stars/Vuzl0r0P">Minnesota North Stars</a>. Just months after trading him away, Clarke acquired Brian Propp by signing him to a free-agent contract. </p><p>Propp enjoyed an excellent debut season in Minnesota, scoring 73 points and helping the team to an improbable run to the <a href="/facts/Stanley_Cup_Finals/VSJ2USHE">Stanley Cup Finals</a>, where they lost to the <a href="/facts/Pittsburgh_Penguins/uPYNYLKP">Pittsburgh Penguins</a>. Propp was a huge contributor in the playoffs with eight goals and 23 points in 23 games. Propp moved past Bobby Hull on the all-time playoff scoring list among left wingers to become the highest-scoring left winger in NHL playoff history on April 12, 1991 as the North Stars beat the <a href="/facts/Chicago_Blackhawks/BurtN7MG">Chicago Blackhawks</a> 6–0 in Game 5 in the series, with Propp leading the charge by scoring first on <a href="/facts/Dominik_Hasek/SRFGekz1">Dominik Hasek</a>. He was plagued by health issues the next two years and only played 68 games over those two campaigns, and even took a sabbatical to play in Switzerland in 1993. During his time in Switzerland, he played for Team Canada in the <a href="/facts/Spengler_Cup/WGnDvaes">Spengler Cup</a> and helped them to win the tournament. </p> <h3>Hartford Whalers</h3> <p>Propp suited up for one last season in the NHL, inking a free agent contract with the <a href="/facts/Hartford_Whalers/FEeyqHaK">Hartford Whalers</a> for the <a href="/facts/1993%25E2%2580%259394_NHL_season/lDWB2dL4">1993–94 NHL season</a>. Although Propp only scored 29 points, it was a productive season for him as he played both his 1000th NHL game and scored his 1000th NHL point which, fittingly, came on a goal against the Philadelphia Flyers. </p><p>During the NHL labour stoppage in 1994, Propp played as a player-coach for <a href="/facts/Anglet_Hormadi_%25C3%2589lite/40uVuqoC">Anglet Hormadi Élite</a> in France. After the lockout, however, Propp did not return to play in the National Hockey League, nor did he continue his career in Europe opting instead to retire from the game. </p><p>Propp holds a hapless achievement in that he went to the Stanley Cup Finals five times, with Philadelphia in 1980, 1985, and 1987, with the <a href="/facts/Boston_Bruins/mXnKmXqJ">Boston Bruins</a> in 1990, and with Minnesota in 1991, without ever winning. He played in the NHL All-Star game five times. </p><p>Propp finished with 1,004 points over 1,016 NHL games in 15 NHL seasons, and ranks second in Flyers history in goals (369, behind <a href="/facts/Bill_Barber/mb6faNGp">Bill Barber</a>), third in assists (480, behind <a href="/facts/Bobby_Clarke/eQozdR8u">Bobby Clarke</a> and <a href="/facts/Claude_Giroux/DVGMB5fh">Claude Giroux</a>), and fourth overall in games played in a Flyers uniform (behind Barber, Clarke, and Giroux). </p> <h3>"The Guffaw"</h3> <p>Propp was known for his unique goal celebration dubbed "The Guffaw". After scoring a goal, Propp would skate towards center ice, place his right glove under his left arm and raise his right arm in a waving fashion. While making the gesture, Propp would say, "Guffaw!" Propp credits the celebration to comedian <a href="/facts/Howie_Mandel/H5UGE0bQ">Howie Mandel</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p><p>During an Atlantic City show in 1986, Mandel used the Guffaw during his comedic routine. Mandel explained a Guffaw was when someone raised their arm and moved it back and forth. Propp adopted "The Guffaw" and it became his signature move, first appearing in the 1986–87 season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="international-play">International play</h2> <p>Propp has represented <a href="/facts/Canada_men%2527s_national_ice_hockey_team/ch8xjm27">Canada</a> five times in international play. </p> <ul><li>1979 World Junior Championships</li> <li>1982 World Championships</li> <li>1983 World Championships</li> <li>1987 World/Canada Cup</li> <li>1992 Spengler Cup</li></ul> <h2 id="post-playing-career">Post-playing career</h2> <p>In 1999, Propp was named to the MasterCard Canadian Junior All-Time team, which also included Mario Lemieux, <a href="/facts/Guy_Lafleur/mQNp3xzl">Guy Lafleur</a>, <a href="/facts/Bobby_Orr/DesLWzu4">Bobby Orr</a>, <a href="/facts/Denis_Potvin/q88zJ6RB">Denis Potvin</a>, and <a href="/facts/Bernie_Parent/d5cXBsd1">Bernie Parent</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> The team was selected based on play in the <a href="/facts/Canadian_Hockey_League/w4SPrLyE">Canadian Hockey League</a>.
