Obviously Joe, but some of the numbers for Plett, who became nothing more than a goon when he got traded to Minny in 1982, were incredible.
Parents escaped the Soviet Union and Germany to escape WWII, so born in South America (Paraguay) before moving to Ontario.
First, he won the Calder Trophy in ATL in 1977.
In Calgary (not Atlanta, where he was 5 years prior) over 2 seasons:
156 games played, 49 goals, 145 points, 527 PIM(!) That's almost a point a game, and almost 4 minutes of penalties per game. Crazy 80's.
