Are people seriously comparing Mark Jankowski, in " style " or anything else to Joe Nieuwendyk?
Joe scored 51 goals in his rookie season. Selanne, Bossy and Ovechkin are the only players in NHL history to score more in their rookie season. Joe matched that 51 goal total in his second season, where he was a huge factor in the Flames winning their only Cup.
He followed that up with 45 goals in each of his next 2 seasons.
He won the SC with 3 different teams. In 99 with Cup winner Dallas he scored 11 playoff goals, 6 were game winners.
1257 regular season games 1126 points.
Selected as one of the 100 greatest players in NHL history.
If Mark becomes Joel Otto, Flames fans should be ecstatic. Becoming Joe Nieuwendyk is a pipe dream, style wise or anything else.
