If you’re upset that Gretzky’s record-breaking 92-goal season is ranked fourth, well, last week I ranked it sixth.
I gave Lemieux the edge over Ovechkin here because even though Nichols was closer to Lemieux than Kovalchuck, Lemieux was light years ahead of Gretzky, Joe Mullen and Joe Nieuwendyk, who were third, fourth, and fifth respectively in goal-scoring that season, for crying out loud. Can you imagine that in today’s NHL? Three players with 65 goals or more? That’s absurd. Bernie Nichols buried 70 goals that season while Steve Yzerman potted 65.
When he scored 85 goals in 1988-89, he was one of a few sniping monsters. With his lethal combination of size, speed and skill, Mario Lemieux is easily one of the most dominant players in NHL history.
