Here are some stats gathered from Toronto Star, March 11th: Player Team Games Goals Assists Points +/- Top10 Kjell Dahlin Mtl 64 31 36 67 +14 +10.6 Mike Ridley NYR 66 18 38 56 +4 +3.4 Steve Thomas Tor 6? 18 32 50 -7 -9.5 Wendel Clark Tor 6? 29 9 38 -25 -9.5 Stephane Richer Mtl 52 15 15 30 0 +10.6 Dahlin, Ridley and Thomas are all above the average +/- of the top 10 scoring players on their club (last column). Clark is pitiful. there is also no excuse for having only nine assists --- if you can hit the net you can hit another player's stick with a pass just as well. Alas, I forgot to pull out the # of penalty minutes... (When looking at Dahlin's +/- rating, remember that power play scoring is not included in it). In my opinion, Clark should rank fourth or fifth in the voting... \tom haapanen / watrose!tohaapanen university of waterloo ..!watmath <-- watmum!tohaapanen \ watlion!tohaapanen I am one in ten, a number on a list I am one in ten, even though I don't exist No-body knows me, though I'm always there A statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care (c) UB40, 1981
