It finally happened. After almost three decades, Jonathan Huberdeau has broken the NHL single-season record for assists by a left winger — just like I predicted someone would. (Don’t actually read that post to see who the prediction was about, just go with me.)
I’m kind of bummed about it.
Maybe I’m weird, but Joe Juneau holding the mark at a very breakable 70 for all these decades was one of my favorite low-key weird facts. It was a great trivia question, one that could stump even the wisest old-time fan. It was also a nice reminder that the 1992-93 season absolutely rocked.
