Great job by me not answering the question.
LaFontaine, without the concussions, he probably... 1,500 points?
Yeah.
Well, he had 1,013 points in 865 games.
He had 62 points in 69 playoff games, and those concussions, they ended up just kind of completely derailing his career.
But if he'd stayed healthy, I mean, two-time 50-goal score, he got 41, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times.
Like, he was...
he had 148 points and an undersized guy back then but read his junior stats for biz so uh verdun juniors in the quebec major junior league he played 70 games he had 104 goals 130 assists for 234 points in the playoffs he had toughest league in the ch 15 games 35 points in the playoffs yeah that's that's 104 goals in 70 games what the fuck is that who is his winger
Dude, there was another guy with 149 points on the team.
He had 85 more points than the second guy on the team.
That's nuts.
And he dragged the Devils into the playoffs.
and they get in, I think he's the MVP.
Yeah, and he might get the Ted Lindsey with a player's vote.
Yeah, maybe.
I think guys around the league could see that.
And from what I've heard is guys appreciate that award just as much as a heart or anything like that.
Oh, for sure.
I think he's going home with some hardware this year if he continues the way he's going and drags that team into the playoffs because you look at his roster compared to either Tampa, Edmonton, or Colorado.
It's like, okay, this guy's doing it on a different level basically by himself.
