Let's not cheapen what MacInnis accomplished because we all love Giordano. Plus there's one more record I want Gio to shoot for:
Most Conn Smythe Trophies as a Flame: Al MacInnis - 1

I think the poster was referring to 150 point scorers league wide, not on the Flames.
I loved Chopper and he was a great player for us, but he did play in an era of higher scoring. Gio will never catch him in scoring and he likely wont end up with as highly regarded a career.
But no Flames has won the Norris trophy. Gio has a chance for the next few years.
