Each Tuesday will present a new inquiry and last week’s correct response, additionally at the end of the regular season the subscriber with the highest percentage of correct answers will be awarded an encased vintage hockey card with authentic historical documentation.

Off the top of my head I took a shot (a guess) at it and answered four. (wrong)

Paper_dude’s answer was Mario Lemieux. He didn’t remember the guys who came after him.
I let him know the correct answer and the names and he said people forget about Bernie Nicolls with LA.

Ask him if he knows he is the most recent player to hit the 70 goal mark

Not Teemu Selanne and Alexander Mogilny in the 1992-93 season, he asks?
I would think it would take pretty much an injury-free season to achieve that accomplishment.
There’s a research project for someone….
Is there a correlation between highest number of goals scored in a season vs. player injury history.

Paper Dude asked the correct question, both players scored 76 goals that year with the Ducks rookie (76 goals in 84 games) catching up to Mr. Mogilny (76 goals in 77 games), so technically since Mr. Selanne scored his 76th goal last he is the most recent to do so.
Also, since hockey players “play through” injuries it would be difficult to put the correlation into an excel document accurately to determine the correct data, imho.
