A sharp-eyed reader has provided Raincoast with a correction about this sharpshooter.
“On page 247 of your interesting chapter on Vital Statistics [in Uncle John’s Shoots and Scores], you state that Mario Lemieux only eclipsed the 2-points-per-game mark once in his illustrious career. Notwithstanding the fact that he never did manage to complete a full NHL season schedule, Mario averaged more than 2 points per game on no less than SIX occasions! In fact, his most prolific season on a points per game basis was the 1992/1993 campaign, when he tallied at a torrid clip of 2.66 for an astounding 160 points in just 60 games. Even if he had been healthy enough to play in the 20 games he missed that year—and was held off the scoresheet in each and every one of them—he still would have been averaging 2 points per game!
Love the book ...” --Seth, Ottawa
