M Recchi Philadelphia 84 53 70 123
Insane numbers. Recchi finishing 10th overall has like 18 points more than D Sedin. Sedin is going to get a few more points obviously, but no where near Lemieux's 160 points...in 60 games....Whatever happened to that hockey?

Let's not forget that's the year Lemieux got cancer. Hence why he only played 60 games, when he came back he was 12 points behind Lafontaine, and look how he finished fucking 12 points ahead. Fact is if Lenieux hadn't had the health problems he had, he'd be the all time scoring leader, and we'd be talking about wondering if anyone can ever surpass Lemieux's records. The man is the single most skilled NHL player in history
You want to talk about heart: that year Lemeiux underwent radiation therapy for his cancer, on the last day of his radiation treatment he got his lat treatment, hopped a plane to Philadelphia and scored a goal and recorded an assist. It was such an epic feat even the world's biggest assholes (Flyers fan) gave him a standing ovation after the game. That's right the same city that cheers when an opposing team's player gets hurt, throws batteries at players and has even booed Santa Clause fucking cheered their Cross-state arch rival's return to the ice.
