man I always forget Bernie Nicholls scored fuckin 70 goals that one year. I mean obviously he was a good player but when you're looking at the list of "Players who score 70 goals in a season" or "Players who had 150+ points in a season" his name always sticks out Edit: 70+ goal seasons: Gretzky (x3), Hull (x3), Lemieux (x2), Selanne, Esposito, Mogilny, Kurri, Nicholls 150+ points: Gretzky (x10), Lemieux (x4), Yzerman, Esposito, Nicholls

I'm not sure if the "Crosby effect" is real, but the "Gretzky effect" certainly was. e: What's even more incredible about that Bernie year is he never even hit 50 goals outside of that year let alone 60 or 70.

Hand Knit posted:The 150 points one is my favourite random hockey trivia. Jagr's 127 in 1998/99 at a time when the league was averaging just 2.63 goals a game is arguably more impressive. That was the 3rd lowest scoring season of all time and he managed more points in a single season than anyone since.

it's wild to look at goalie stats in those days too and seeing that Roy being at .908, less than league average now, is like 10 points better than the next best guy

He was good until he broke his jaw in a fight and then he got into crack after that and it went downhill pretty quickly. For about two-three years he was one of if not the premiere power forwards in hockey and I kinda miss that there's not really a modern player like him any more. Guys that are that good at scoring now don't bother fighting really. The closest you'll see is someone like Ovechkin but he doesn't fight. Guys like Lucic are a pale imitation of Artie. e: Lemieux probably had more than a little bit to do with Stevens' career years though, yeah

This is good. For me I grew up with Jackson broadcasting the Flyers, so whether people like him or not, I'll always be a fan just because the voice is synonymous with hockey to me (unless has some horrible skeletons in his closet or something). Jones, Clement and Therian are all fine. Coates is one of the worst, and while I sympathize with anyone who listens to the radio, I'm just happy he is buried there. Just renewed my NHL subscription, so at the least I won't have to listen to Coates. I'm now in St Louis, so I guess I'll find out if the local media here is any good for Blues games.

This is why overpay contracts are worse than just the one guy's cap hit. When people like Tom Wilson have multi-million dollar contracts it creates a higher floor for negotiations with other players who might otherwise be comparing against replacement level contract numbers. When you have a whole team of bad contracts it becomes impossible to sign people for their actual value.

Hope y'all are ready for the next lockout because GMs can't save themselves from themselves. Is Donald Fair still running things for the PA? I know management will always come out on top over labor, but at least him seemed like he caught the owners off guard by being competent and didn't let the players get their poo poo handed to them too badly.

Canucks prospect who I was very excited to watch this weekend Jonathan Dahlen has mono. That's terrible for him, but it's also going to be very funny for people who aren't really paying attention and read that as Rasmus Dahlin having mono.
