One of the tough parts of writing about hockey is adjusting for era. A 50-goal season is a very different thing today than it was in the high-scoring 1980s, which was very different than it was when Rocket Richard was doing it in a 50-game season in the 1940s. It makes it a challenge to compare one season to another. Some years are just different than other years.
Which brings us to trying to figure out what qualifies as bizarre in 2020.
This is my seventh year of doing a bizarro-meter column that covers every team in the league, and it’s usually good fun.
