1991-92 NHL Regular Season
Mario Lemieux suffers an eye injury during preseason, which will cause him to miss 4-5 months!! The injury is listed as massive eye trauma. To suffer something like that, and return before the end of the season seems pretty good to me!
Lemieux is lucky he can still see!! Anyway, this is a huge blow to the
Red Wings, who we have seen, aren’t close to a good team without
Super Mario. Just make the playoffs
Detroit, just get there!
Detroit hopes Lemieux will return for the playoffs!
The NHL did not start well for
San Jose. They allow two goals in the first minute of their first game.
Criag Muni scores the first goal in
Sharks history, but
San Jose falls to the defending Smythe division champion
Canucks. The
Sharks are playing in the Smythe this year.
The worst team in the NHL just got crushed.
Teemu Selanne suffers an elbow injury that should end his season. His 8 points in 12 games was leading the
Sabres at the time of his injury.
Buffalo, at the beginning of December, is 3-20-1, including a 14-0 loss to the
Whalers.
Buffalo has 5 star goalie
Patrick Roy, 23 year old
Vinny Damphousse, who hit 98 points in 1988. They have
Pierre Turgeon, a very skilled top line center. They have
Peter Forsberg and
Ziggy Palfy in their prospect pool. They should not be THIS BAD!!! TRADE
PATRICK ROY!!! With his 5 star ability,
Roy has to have great value. He’s not working out. His play is has been awful. The loss of
Selanne has ended any hopes at a unlikely playoff run. Get a ransom for
Roy and develop these scorers!
Selanne's season ends early
Salaries have started getting much higher, so it’s time to look at the top 10 players in hockey, 1992 edition.
Only two defenseman on that list. It pays to be a forward in the NHL. Also,
Joe Sakic is the youngest player on the list, at 22. Everyone else is in their prime pretty much, well, other then
Trottier, who is finishing up a hall of fame career.
The youngsters on Long Island are in a battle for a playoff spot!! The
Islanders currently trail the
Rangers by 3 points for the final Patrick Division playoff spot, with about 20 games remaining.
Mats Sundin has broken out, and leads the team with 67 points.
Pavel Bure is right behind him with 66, and
Jaromir Jagr has 23 goals in his rookie year. Even
Eric Lindros has been promoted, and is playing on the fourth line. The
Islanders may be for real very soon!
Sundin proving he's a number one center!
With the trade deadline passing, the season has just a few weeks left.
Mario Lemieux still hasn’t returned to the lineup. He looks like he will be back right around April 20, which is when the playoffs are gonna begin.
Detroit is safely in, mostly because the
Leafs are terrible. So, whoever faces
Detroit, there’s a chance a partially blind, yet rested
Mario Lemieux will be in the lineup!
Final Standings
Quebec wins the President’s trophy, but can they finally get by
Philly in the playoffs.
Philly on the other hand, will have to go to battle with
NJ to even get a shot at the
Nordiques. The
Devils look great!
Detroit finishes third.
Lemieux returns for the final two games of the season, getting 3 points.
The
Islanders can’t keep up with the
Rangers and fall short of the postseason. Next year, you gotta think they get back in.
The
Sabres are hockey’s worst team.
Patrick Roy was good this year. Can’t keep blaming him when he put up a .897 save percentage. That’s great for the era. He faced 200 more shots then any other goalie. Despite the young talent they have, the team can’t play a lick of defense. Things won’t be changing there anytime soon.
Brett Hull leads the league in goals by a wide margin. He’s become the best goal scorer in hockey. He also wins his first scoring title!
Luc Robitaille also broke out. The 25 year old bested his career high by 18 points, hitting 50 goals for the first time.
Doug Gilmour get 90 assists for the third time in his career, and is now 17th all time in assists.
Wayne Gretzky’s 122 points give him a career total of 1559, good for 7th all time. If healthy, he will challenge 4th place next year.
Tony Hand leads the
Sharks in goals and assists, with 18 and 37! That’s not terrible since he’s playing with no one.
