B) 91-95 was a drastically different era of offensive hockey.
C) That first season was 4 games long.

He’s not Quick, not Smith or Henrik but he is ours! The beagle is so Neuvy,too.

.892, .914, .914, .903

(Source: http://www.hockey-reference.com/players/n/neuvimi01.html)

.914 is considered NHL average. So… it seems Mikey’s true talent is either at or below NHL average.

I like the guy, but I really doubt he is truly The Guy.
