We start off with a 9 game win streak, Pittsburgh lose a few games early, and we open up a 10 point lead against them by the quarter mark of the season. After 30 games, Rangers 6 clear of Minnesota, Pens in 3rd with Buf 4th.

Rest of the teams 6 points behind,Lemieux's Edmonton is in 9th on course for 90 pts considering their last three season were 61 points, 30 points and 25 points they've had the jump up required. Their defence is a priority, considering its 2nd worst in the league. Detroit remain mid table. They need to do something to get Gretzky some help


At the half way stage, young Mario Lemieux takes the lead in the points race! He's on 93 with Gretzky on 91, though the great one has 3 games in hand. We are romping away from Pitts to win our division, but Minnesota is still 6 points behind us, we've lost 20 points combined between us to completely distance us from the rest of the league. Detroit are plummeting, and now just 3 points from missing out on playoffs, Edmonton had dropped 4 in a row, but still look like they'll hit 500 and make the playoffs easily.

End of season, we pull away, Vaive Steen and Kerr all get to the 100 point park, with Vaive and Kerr getting 50. Star man is Cloutier with 72 goals, on the top line with Garnder and Vaive. We score 543 goals, to top the nhl by 24 points. Pittsburgh suprisngly fell away. Detroit and Edmonton atr 5th and 7th seeds in the west, Edmonton had a very poor second half of the season. Gretzky broke 200 points, lemiuex coudln't keep up the pass but got 163. An amazing 42 players got 100 points and 17 got 50! Goals per game is at 8.4 for the league. Iron Curtain Rule is now off!
