I can't believe Jacques Richard scored 50 goals and 100 points one season. Chalk it up to playing with the Stastnys in the high-scoring 80s I guess. His next best totals were 27 goals and 43 points in his sophomore season. In fact he only cracked 40 points one other time and never more than 17 goals. Such an anomalous season.

Interesting fact: Jacques Richard is the only player to have played in both the Atlanta Flames' first NHL game and the Calgary Flames' first game. Obviously with Atlanta in 1972 and Quebec in 1980. Dan Bouchard technically can be included as well as he was the backup in '72 and got the start in '80.

Oh... um, Sandy McCarthy? He made some dull years fun.
