Yup, he was third in scoring on his own team (and had very little support on that crap team). 41 points in 61 games. That was more than any other Dman in the league except for two guys on the powerhouse Hawks, and those guys lived off off Hull, Mikita, Hull and Esposito. Bit of a dead puck era too, only Hull, Mikita and Norm Ullman were over PPG.
