7th in PIMs ahead of guys like Iggy, Suter and Regehr
Literally STILL in 1st place all time for assists with 609 vs Iggy 570, who also played 400+ more games.
I needn’t remind you that he’s a d-man which makes the numbers even more impressive. A Conn Smythe winner for good measure.

I wonder how much age does play in that one. He really feels more like a Blue. While being our best player he wasn't the captain. And a lot of the other folks from that period settled in Calgary and Al stayed in St. Louis.
But you're right.
